Will 3.25-16 Tires Fit in Place of 3.50-16 Tires on a Rack and Roll Trailer

Question

Question:

I need to replace the tires on my original Rack and roll trailer before Yakima purchased the company. The Yakima tires specify they are 3.25-16. My tires are 3.50-16. I have three spoke wheels. Will your tires fit my rims?

Helpful Expert Reply:

The 3.25-16 Replacement Tire # Y8880282 will still fit your pre-Yakima era Rack and Roll trailer wheels. Otherwise the 3.50-16 size is readily available. It is a motorcycle tire size.
