Helpful Expert Reply:
To protect the galvanized coating on the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" Galvanized Wheel # AM31994 you do not need to add any protectants or coatings. You will simply need to keep the wheels clean using a soap and water. It is important to keep the wheels dry whenever possible as well. We do have the Covers # 290-3974 you can use to protect the tires from UV damage while keeping weather off the wheels as well when not being used.
