Question:

Hi- I have a 2015 Retro Shasta trailer that has 15 inch wheels. In order for me to get this under my house which is on pilings I need to gain a couple inches of clearing by finding a 10-12 inch tire that can be fitted on the trailer just for storing. We got one set of 10 inch tires with the correct 5 lug nut configuration but the inside of the tire was too small to fit. Can you recommend a tire similar in build to the 15 inch tire that is 10-12 inches? Thanks

Expert Reply:

With your 2015 Shasta Airflyte Retro trailer having a ST225/75R15 Radial Tire with 15" Wheel # AM32545 you are going to have 10" brake drums. The smallest wheel and tire that will fit a 10" drum with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern is going to be the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 13" White Mini Mod Wheel # AM31991. This tire has a diameter of 24.1" compared to your current tire that is 28.4" in diameter. This will give you a 2.15" drop in overall height with the smaller tires. Be sure to verify that your Shasta does have the 5 on 4.5" lug pattern to use these wheels and tires.
