How to Distinguish Hub-Centric Trailer Wheels from Lug-Centric Trailer Wheels

Question

Question:

Are the tracker standard boat trailers lug or hub centric? It uses ST 175/80 D13 tires with 5 lug nuts per tire. I think it is lug centric but just wanted to confirm? Boat is a 2013 super guide V16SC

It is easy to tell which type of wheel you have on your boat trailer.

Lug centric wheels slide onto studs on the hub and are secured with lug nuts, like a car tire.

If a wheel is hub centric, the wheel centers on the hub and bolts are threaded into the hub to secure the wheel.

We sell quite a few trailer tires, so for the most part, they don't hang around here for long. Most of the tires we have in stock in the more popular sizes will have DOT date stamps within the previous calendar year. Slower movers might go back a…

Answer 6

The DOT date code on a tire is 4 numbers. The first 2 are the week and the last 2 are the year. So for example if it was 2314 that means that tire was made in the 23rd week of 2014. Based on what you listed I do not believe that is the date code.…

Trailer tires can blow for a few reasons. If the trailer is overloaded that can do it. The combined capacity of the tires needs to be greater than the gross trailer weight. Exceeding the speed rating can also create excessive heat build up and lead…

There could be a number of reasons your Karrier Tire & Wheel #AM31985 is not holding air, but I'd start with the valve stem, as it may be loose. What I'd do is spray soapy water on the valve stem to see if it's bubbling to verify if…
