• Should I replace My Castle Rock ST ST205/75R14 Tires
  This type of question is always challenging due to the amount of varying opinions, different experiences, and lack of controlled environment with set standards. Please keep in mind that Castle Rock is an economy trailer tire so they will not perform at the same level of a Goodyear tire. However, feed back available to me was a statement of a 7,500 mile trip with great performance and no significant wear. But your 12,000 mile trip will be pushing the limit on most any economy tire currently...

• Modern Size Replacements Needed for 7.00 x 14 Tires on Boat Trailer
  The closest modern tire size to the 7.00 x 14 size you mentioned would be a ST205/75-14. The two load range C tires we offer are part # AM1ST86 in bias ply and # AM10234 in radial. The ST205/75-14 is about an inch larger in diameter and 3/4 of an inch wider than the tires you currently have. The load range C bias ply tire in that size is rated for 1,760 lbs at 50 psi. The radial is rated a bit higher at 1925lbs at 60 psi. For optimal tire performance and to realize the full load bearing...

• Solution for Trailer Wheel that Has Lower PSI Rating Than Tire
  Dexstar wheels are not typically limited to only being able to handle 50 psi, if there is a limit that low on a wheel it's almost always the valve stem as typically the wheel is the highest rated pressure rated component. For a higher rated valve stem we have the metal # AM20906 which can handle over 100 psi and fits the two wheel hole sizes on trailer wheels of .453 and .625 inch. If you had a limited tire pressure situation this would solve it, but most likely you'd be fine as Kenda...

• Replacement 7 Spoke Aluminum Trailer Wheel for Aluma Trailer
  We have an aluminum 7 spoke 14 inch trailer wheel that looks pretty close to the wheel in the picture you sent us, but it's not an exact match. For that wheel you would want the part # AM22329. For a 205/75R14 you can use # AM10234 or tire # AM10229 for a ST215/75R14.

• Radial vs Bias Trailer Tires and Can the Same Wheels Be Used for Both Types of Tires
  The same wheels can be used for both bias and radial tires. You do not need different wheels for radial tires. The tire you have now that is labeled ST205/75D14 is a bias tire because the D inside the tire size means diagonal or bias ply construction. A radial trailer tire will be labeled as ST205/75R14. The R inside the tire size meaning radial construction. The trailer specification of ST205/75C14 is meaning you can use a bias or radial with a Load Range C rating. Normally on a tire...

• Clearance Needed For ST205/75R14 Trailer Tire on Trailer & How to Tell if New Axle isNeeded
  Hey Russell, You should have at least 2 inches (but ideally 3 inches) of clearance between the top of a fully inflated tire like the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10234 and the bottom of your wheel well or fender. As for the axle, check for rust, any small cracks, poor handling by your trailer compared to how it had been, and things like your tires wearing unevenly or faster than they had. If you find yourself needing a new axle, I'll add a link below to a video on how to...

• What Does Load Range Letters (B, C, D) Indicate On a Tire?
  The load range C and D indicate how many ply layers the tire is constructed of. A load range c tire like the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10234 has 6 layers. These layers give the tire a weight rating of 1,925lbs at 60psi. The load range D version of the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10235 has 8 layers. The additional layers give it a weight rating of 2,200lbs at 75psi. The additional layers allow for more weight and higher PSI as it makes the tire stronger....

• Replacement Wheels and Tires for Old Demco Tow Dolly with 14 Inch Wheels
  I spoke to my contact at Demco and they said that if your Demco Tow Dolly came with 14" wheels then the Replacement Wheel for Demco Kar Kaddy 3 Tow Dolly part # DM09296 is correct for you. The older ones came in a tan color with triangular shaped holes but this will still work for you as it has the same 5 on 144 mm bolt pattern and +42 mm offset that you need. If you need to replace your tires as well then I recommend using the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10234 which...

• How Old Are the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tires That Ship Out
  I don't have a way to provide the exact date code for any one set of tires that we ship but I can tell you that trailer tires are a top product for use and we sell a lot of them. This means that they don't sit on the shelf long in our warehouse once they leave the manufacturer, especially for common sizes like a 205/75-14. Therefore, it's very likely that the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10234 will be under a year old. I would also like to point out our warehouse is...

• Are Larger Wheels Beneficial to Trailer?
  Slightly larger wheels will not have a bearing on your trailer in terms of gas consumption or wear and tear. More important is getting the correct tire for your trailer and always keeping it filled to the max psi. For example, the Kenda Karrier # AM10234 is a ST205/75R14 tire which is 8.1" wide and has an overall diameter of 26.3". It fits 14" x 5", 14" x 5-1/2", 14" x 6", and 14" x 6-1/2" wheels, has a load range of C with a maximum capacity of 1,925 lbs at 60 psi, and an 81 mph speed...

• Compatibility of Replacing a ST215-75R14 Tire with a ST205-75R14 Trailer Tire
  Yes, the narrower ST205-75R14 tire will fit in place of an ST215-75R14, It is important for all of the trailer tires to be the same size and construction type (bias ply or radial). Using different sizes can cause tracking problems and lead to premature and/or uneven tire wear. Ideally you would replace all of the tires at the same time. There is a difference in width for the ST215-75R14 (8.4") # AM10234 and the ST205-75R14 (7.8") ex: # AM1ST86. You can replace all tires with the ST205-75R14,...

• Determining Tire Pressure Required For a Load Range C Trailer Tire
  For the correct tire pressure for your tire you will want to check the sidewall of the trailer tire. A tire like the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10062 does have a recommended cold tire pressure of 90psi and is rated load range C with a weight capacity off 990lbs. A tire like the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10234 that is also a load range C only requires 60psi.

• Availability of Replacement Tire For Size F65-14ST on Tow Master Boat Trailer
  The replacement for the F65-14ST tire you mentioned would be a ST205/65-14, which is kind of an oddball size that we don't carry. The closest equivalent we carry would be 205/75-14. The tire you currently have is 24.6 inches in diameter, and 7.4 inch section width.

  The Replacement Wheel # DM11574 is an exact replacement for the chrome wheel on the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly (9713045) so it would be considered an OEM piece.

• Can 175/80-13 Trailer Tires be Replaced with 205/75-14 Trailer Tires
  First, you should put the size tires and wheels on the trailer that the trailer manufactures states. This information can be found on a sticker or plate on the trailer frame. Sometimes, a larger size can be used if there is space around the tire for the larger size. The next size up from 175/80-13 is going to be a 205/75-14. This tire will be almost 2 inches taller (1.9 inches) and about 1-3/16 inches wider. You will need to make sure that there is space above the tire and on the inside...

• Comparing Special Trailer Tires in Size ST205/75-14 with Differing Load Range Ratings
  The only actual differences between two special trailer tires in the same size but with different weight load range letter codes, C and D in this case, are their weight carrying limits in pounds and their required inflation pressures in psi. For reference, the linked page displays all of our special trailer (ST type) tires in size ST205/75-14. These tire options include items with either radial or bias ply construction and tires in either Load Range C or D. As examples, Kenda # AM10234...

• When Should Trailer Tires be Replaced
  Trailer tires should be replaced about every 6 or 7 years, even if the tread is still in good shape because they will deteriorate over time. The UV rays are a big part of this but tires can also crack or even dry rot making them dangerous if not replaced. The risk is for leak development but even more than that is the tire coming apart and/or blowing out. You may also want to check out our tire covers to protect your tires and extend their life.

• What Size Rim is Needed for 205/75R14 Trailer Tire
  When it comes to a 205/75R14 trailer tire like the Kenda, # AM10234, this size of tire will fit a 5", 5-1/2", 6", or 6-1/2" rim. I spoke with our in-house tire expert and he said that when it comes to choosing a rim for a trailer tire, you will want to go with the smallest rim width available for your size of tire to keep the side walls as straight as possible. I have attached a link to the options that we have available for you. Since you plan to use this just as a spare for your boat...
