Expert Reply:

The 205/75-16 tires we carry for trailers will work with 5, 5-1/2, 6, and 6-1/2 inch rims.

This is for either radial or bias-ply tires we offer. You will want to make sure you choose a wheel for your tires with the correct wheel bolt pattern. I have attached a helpful article that explains how to determine which wheel bolt pattern you need.

We carry a 15-inch trailer wheel. If you need a 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern and has a rim width of 5-inches I recommend part # TA37RR.

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…
