Question:
What’s the biggest trailer tire and wheel that I can install on a Carry On 4x6T trailer ?

Expert Reply:
It entirely depends on how much space you have between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fender. We recommend 2" - 3" of space to allow the suspension to flex so you don't have to worry about the tire rubbing the fender.
What size tires do you currently have and how much space is between the top of them and the fender? There is no database that shows me any information on what parts you have on your Carry On trailer.
You can add this information and any other questions you have in the box that says Reply to Jerred H.

Since posting the question, I have found that by flipping the axle (moving leaf springs to the top), I can fit a 13" on there without it rubbing the fender. For larger than 13" wheels/tires, I've only read that I would have to upgrade the axle CURRENT TIRE: 12" 4.80-12 Bias 6-Ply (4:80X12PTW- BLACK) FFR: Information is on the carry-on website for this specific trailer
