What Does ICF Technology for Trailer Wheel AM22658HWT Mean

Question

Question:

This wheel advertises ICF technology, but does not really say exactly what it does. I am upgrading my RV from 15inch to 16inch G rated tires and I am considering this wheel. Will the workinch for me? I am wondering if ICF means it needs a special kind of drum, or some other mating part?

The ICF (Improved Clamp Force) technology of the Aluminum Split Spoke Wheel part # AM22658HWT refers to the precise fit of the back side of the wheel to the trailer's hub face, the result of careful machining and finishing. This allows you to only have to torque the lug nuts of the wheel once with the initial install and then you're set.

The Provider ST235/85R16 tire part # TTWPRG235R16 is a great option for a Load Range G tire too. It has a capacity of 4,400 lb max load at 110 psi and would fit the wheel you referenced well.

The 6.5-16 tire size from what I can find is uncommon size that was only used in the 50's and 60's. This tire was 6.5" wide and 29.41" tall which fit on a 16" wheel. The 6.5x16.5-8 size you mention is much smaller at 6.6"…

David, ideally you'd want to keep that minimum of 3" of clearance you have, and upgrading to larger tires is going to decrease that. You can still upgrade your wheels to a 16" wheel like you're wanting to while still using the same…

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

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…

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…
