Question:
Need to replace my trailer tires. They have had a slow leak on both tires for years and i dont even know if they are trailer tires. Tire model is Wynstar R21 tire size is 205 65R 15 24HR M/S. I cant really find any info on this tires size. Maybe they are wrong size i dunno. I would like to replace these with proper trailer tires. Cant really find any other info on trailer payload or weight rating. I think the wheels are fine but i dont really know. Ive attached a picture

Helpful Expert Reply:
The tires you have Wynstar R21 tire size is 205 65R 15 24HR M/S, are vehicle tires and not designed for trailer use. The wheels that you have do appear to be trailer style wheels as they appear to have 0 offset. A vehicle wheel will generally have an offset that allows the wheel face to sit closer to the outer edge of the tire.
You should be able to replace your current tires with a 205/75-15 tire size as it appears that you have plenty of clearance inside your fenders. The 205/75-15 is going to be the same width but will be 1.6" taller in diameter or roughly 3/4" taller off your current tread. Depending on where you use your trailer will decide if you want Bias or Radial tires. Radial tires are better for on road use while bias tires are better when you trailer is to be used off road. You can decide what weight rating will work best as I will give you multiple options for each radial and bias tire construction.
