Question:
I have p155/80R13 tires on my boat trailer. Single axle. What tire and wheel combo do you recommend? Pulling a 17ft aluminum v hull fishing boat. Not much weight once everything is loaded up.

Hey Andrew, the Karrier ST175/80R13 part # AM31994 would be a great option. It is a galvanized wheel (prevents corrosion) that has an ST rated tire on it that was designed specifically for trailers. The P tire you have now is designed for vehicles and it's a good idea you are getting away from it.
