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?
