Replacement Trailer Tire Recommendation for a 21 Year Old 20.5x8x10 Tire  

Updated 05/17/2016 | Published 05/14/2016

Question:

I sent the following question below, a short time ago and Jameson C responded with quite helpful information. However, I would like to know where I can find the information for what the load range capacity is on my boat trailer mentioned below. There was no way to ask him that as there was not an option to do so. I want to be sure the tires recommended are the correct tire for my trailer. I will be needing 2 tires as my trailer has only one axle.

You definitely want to replace all of your trailer's tires ASAP as a tire's life is generally only limited to 6 years old before it needs to be replaced.

The highest weight capacity tire we offer in your tire size of 20.5x8x10 is the Load Range E part # AM1HP56 which has a capacity of 1,650 lbs at 90 psi. This size is the same as the modern equivalent 205/65-10 which is what this product advertises as it's size. You should note that a trailer tire has to be inflated to it's max psi at all times to ensure you have the full capacity.

On the sidewall of your current tires there should be a Load Range listed. Sometimes the info can be difficult to see but look all over the sidewall and you should be able to find the Load Range or weight capacity listed there. Or you can determine the weight of your trailer and just go by the appropriate rated tire for the trailer.
