Replacement Trailer Tire Options for 215/60-8 Trailer Tires

Updated 10/07/2013 | Published 10/06/2013

Question:

I am interested in purchasing two trailer tires with wheels and one extra tire for my spare without the wheel. The tires say 215/60-8 LoadStar. The other numbers on it are 18.5x8-50-8. Can you make sure I am buying the right ones?

Tire size 215/60-8 is the size you will need to be looking at. You will also want to make sure you get the same load range. Tire size 215/60-8 comes in three load ranges, B has the lowest capacity, C is in the middle, and D has the highest.

Load range will be indicated in a block of information on the tire side wall after the tire size. Having a higher capacity does not increase the capacity of the trailer. I have included a link to all of the tires and tire and wheel combos that we carry with that size tire.

There are also 2 possible bolt patterns for this size wheel: 4 on 4 and 5 on 4-1/2. I have included a link to our FAQ article that explains how to measure for bolt pattern and a link to our FAQ on trailer tires for you.
