Wheel and Tire Recommendation for JC MFG Pontoon / TriToon Boat Trailer with Tire Size 20.5X8.0-10

Published 11/05/2018

Question:

I own a 2003 JC MFG Tritoon and the trailer tires are 20.5X8.0-10, 5 lug. I am needing a replacement set of tires, two for each side. The weight of the pontoon is approx. 3200 lbs. Can you tell me what I need and what the cost of 4 tires would be mounted and balanced and sent to me here at my home in Canton, Georgia? Thanks,

The modern tire size for the 20.5x8.0-10 that you referenced is 205/65-10 which for a wheel and tire setup with that size and with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch lug bolt pattern we have the Kenda Wheel and Tire part # AM3H490 which would work well. Each wheel and tire has a capacity of 1,650 lb at 90 psi too so it would have more than enough capacity. The wheel is galvanized steel too which will resist corrosion.

Trailer tires aren't typically machine balanced but the manufacturer will line the heavy spot up of the tire with the heavy spot of the wheel which does a decent job balancing them. Pricing is available at the link below.
