Question:
Im looking for tires and rims for my snowmobile trailer. It looks like radials are not available in this size. Is this the best quality available?

Expert Reply:
Hey Craig, yes the Kenda 215/60-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" Galvanized Wheel # AM3H325 would be the best wheel and tire in the size you have currently of 215/60-8. It has the highest Load Range and also a galvanized wheel that will work great to prevent corrosion.
To end up with a radial you'd need to go to the larger tire size of ST145/R12 like the part # AM31202. This would raise the height of the trailer about 1.5 inches which I know snowmobile trailers like to be as low as possible.
