Thanks for the purchase of the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - 4" Lift Spindle - Off-Road Tires - 3,500 lbs # ASR35HDS02 with the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-9UC3-EZ which will be a great addition for your trailer; we definitely have wheels and tires that will be a perfect match.

You will need a wheel with a matching 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern and I also recommend going with a bias tire because they have stiffer sidewalls than radial tires, meaning it is going to hold up better for off-road applications like yours. What you can use is the following:

- Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire with 15" Aluminum Wheel # AM3S913

This tire and wheel combo will work with your hub and the tire has a load range of D with a 2,540 lb capacity when filled to 65 psi, which is going to be plenty of capacity for your 3,500 lb Timbren system. When inflated the tire will measure 28.3" in diameter and 8" wide and they have a speed rating of 81 mph, so even though they are bias tires that can be used when going off-road, you don't have to drive at a snail's pace to get to your off-roading destination.

We do not carry tires with off-road treads (apart from some small tire/wheel combos that were made for golf carts) so those would need to be sourced elsewhere, although you can still get the appropriate wheels for your hubs with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. The tires you get would only need to fit the diameter and width of the wheel. For wheels you only need ones with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern and you can choose the style you want, such as: - Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - Black Powder Coat # AM20514 - Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - Silver # LHSL311 - Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" - Black Spoke # AX02560655BML I have added a link to a video review of these wheels as well as a link to our selection of wheels that fit a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern.

Answer 1

Hey Paul! The #AM20504 you looked at with the +0.5" offset is the only truly solid black wheel we have in this size. The closest thing with 0 offset is the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel #AM20514 but it has four small cutouts around the edges…

Answer 2

Hi Corey, The pilot hole diameter - which is the center hole you referenced - is 3.19 inches for the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim #AM20528DX.

Answer 3

For a wheel that is 5 inches in width and 15 inches in diameter you would want tires that are size ST205/75-15. For the tire size ST225/75R15 you listed you would want a rim that is from 6-7 inches in width. I attached a department page that has all…

Answer 4

The 7.00-15LT tires you have on your 1978 Avion trailer have a 29.4" diameter, have a load range that should be in the 2,400 lb vicinity and fit wheels that are 5", 5-1/2" and 6". For comparable tires I recommend going with a…

Answer 5

Good news, I can help you find a tire for your Sundown Horse Trailer. The 205/90-15 is a close tire size to the 7.00-15. The closest size to a 7.00x15 tire that we offer would be a 225/75-15. One 225/75-15 tire that could work for you is the Kenda…

Answer 6

A 7.00-15 trailer tire is still a relatively common size, but we do not carry them. The next closest size is going to be an ST205/75-15 such as #AM10245 rated for 2,150 pounds at 65 psi. Both sizes fit the same size wheels.

Answer 7

As you mentioned, the 225/75-15 tire size is the next closest size we have available to your existing 7.00-15 tires. As you also referenced, the thing you will need to look at is the size of your current wheels, as the 7.00-15 tire will typically fit…

Answer 8

There is not an equivalent trailer tire to your light truck tires that are 7.00-15, which have an overall diameter of 29.4" and width of 7.8". A 225/75-15 tire such as the Karrier #AM10256 is similar, with a 28.4" diameter and…

Answer 9

The two tire sizes you mentioned fit the same diameter and width trailer wheel so unless something really unusual is going on with your wheels the new tires should fit. Is it just that the bead of the new tire is not seated on the wheel yet?

Answer 10

In this situation I would actually recommend just replacing the wheel studs themselves. The studs on your current hubs should be able to be knocked out, working at the front side of the hub. That way, you would be able to compare your current studs…

Answer 11

Yes you can go with a 10 Ply Load Range E tire for your trailer in the size of 225/75-15. For that we have the part #TR225LRE which has a weight capacity of 2,830-lb max load at 80 psi. What I also really like about this tire is that it has a higher…

Answer 12

It comes down to how much weight the trailer will be at when it's loaded and ready to tow and how much capacity the tires have. If you can determine the max your trailer will weigh and then add up the capacity of all of your trailer tires…
