I have these tires on my trailer, Im looking for a inexpensive option for a spare tire. What do I need to look for?

Expert Reply:

For a spare tire for your trailer you will want the tire to be the same size and construction type. In this case you will need an ST175/80R13 radial tire in load range C. In terms of the wheel a regular steel wheel will cost less and is perfect for a spare tire.

Since you need a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern I recommend tire and wheel combo # TA43RR if you want the tire to be the same brand. Or if you want the least expensive option go with # AM31957. I have linked video reviews of both tire and wheel combos for you.

If you do not already have a spare tire carrier a popular option is # CE27310G. I have linked a video review of the carrier as well.
