Fit and Compatibility When Increasing Tire Size On 2017 Flagstaff 206LTD Trailer

Question

Question:

Can your TTWA13RWS wheels and tires rates for 81 mph fit my unit with enough clearance to safely use? I do not like the 65 mph rated tires I presently have that came with the trailer. Flagstaff 206LTD trailer, 2017 model with 12 wheels

The Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D # AM31994 combinations are able to be used on your Flagstaff 206LTD trailer as long as you have the clearance on the inside frame side and 4 inches of travel distance vertically so your suspension can work properly. This combination has a section width of 6.97 inches and an outer diameter of 24.02 inches. To ensure a fit, divide these numbers in half and measure from the center of the axle vertically and from the center of the tire horizontally.

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…

You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

Answer 12

The #84 spindle is just a common way to identify the spindle dimensions typically used for 3,500 lb axles. So instead of listing out the parts, people can just say they have #84 spindles and it's easier to know what fits it. The CE Smith Trailer…
