Question:
I have a 12 inch wheel on my pop up and need to replace the tires. The original tires are St145 R12, but would like to use a larger tire if I can. Can i go to a 14 inch wheel? thank you

Expert Reply:
If you had the clearance for a 14 inch wheel and tire yes you could upgrade your 12 inch setup to a 14 inch setup. The tire diameter would increase from 21.3 inches to 26.3 inches and the width would increase by 2.3 inches. For that we have the Kenda Karrier tire part # AM10235 which gives you a trailer tire size ST205/75R14 and then have them mounted on a white wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern by Dexstar # AM20352. This tire has a speed rating of 81 mph. The wheel is made in the USA.
