Trailer Tire Recommendation to Replace a ST165/80D13

Updated 07/07/2014 | Published 07/05/2014

Question:

I need two rims with tires but am confused a lil on the size. Right now my tire size and rim is identified as ST165/80D-13. 5-Lug For some reason I cannot find that size in your listing. I did find a few as for example = Loadstar 175/80D-13, will that still fit. The part im confused is the ST175. Can you let me know if the ST175 will fit when the stock tire indicates ST165 Thankyou

You should have no problem going with a ST175/80D-13 over a ST165/80D13. The tire will only be about 10 mm's wider and 16 mm's taller. You might double check your clearances if they are close, but most likely you would have the necessary clearance for the additional width and height.

If so, the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 13" White Modular Wheel # AM31957 should work well for you as long as your bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2. I attached an FAQ on determining bolt patters for you to check out also.
