Hello Todd,
We definitely have something for you, but we do not a radial tire and wheel combo, as we only have that tire and wheel combo in a bias. It depends on your bolt pattern, and the weight of your boat to decide what the best option for you.
You will want one of the following:
- If you have a 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern and your boat does not weigh more than 2,500 pounds (assuming you need 2 wheels) # AM30670
- If you have a 4 on 4" bolt pattern and your boat does not weigh more than 1,980 pounds # AM30630
- If you have 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern and your boat is on the lighter side not weighing more than 1,570 pounds # AM30590
All the above options are with a galvanized wheel which is great for marine applications, even saltwater.
If you really want the radial tire, you could go with the Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C # TT48012C, and buy the wheel separately, 5 on 4 1/2" # AM20134, and 4 on 4 # AM20124. Then you can have a tire shop mount it.
What kind of boat are you hauling?

Hey Todd, Did you end up going with the radial tire and separate wheel option, or did you choose one of the bias tire and wheel combos? I'm curious to know how it worked out for your boat trailer, especially since it will be used in saltwater. Your experience could really help others in similar situations!
