Question:

I have a utility trailer that currently has P155 80 R13 tires that i need to replace, not knowing the history of the trailer, If I replace the current passenger tires to the correct Trailer tires, will the trailer tire fit the current passenger rim?

Expert Reply:

I would strongly recommend you replace the rims and tires of your utility trailer with trailer rims and tires. Trailer rims and tires are rated for the additional vertical load that trailers see.

The closest size we carry to what you have currently would be the 175/80-03 size. The overall diameter of this tire is 24.1 inches and is designed to fit 4-1/2 into to 5-1/2 inch rims.

For a rim and tire that comes with this tire size and a wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern you would want the Karrier Wheel and Tire part # AM31985. If you need a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern you would want the part # AM3S120. If you are unsure of your bolt pattern check out the FAQ article I attached that details how to find this information. If you have a different bolt pattern than the two above that I listed email me back with that info and I will see what other wheel options could work for you.
