Hey Troy, thanks for reaching out. We definitely have the st205/75/R15 tires, but the 5 on 5.5" wheels are super uncommon these days. Right now, we offer only one 5 on 5.5" wheel and it's a 10" rim part # AM20053. We don't have anything in a 15" - that bolt pattern is basically obsolete in the trailer world.

That being the case, the next thing we would look at is upgrading your hubs to something more common like a 5 on 4-1/2" which is readily available. I'd just need to confirm your axle rating and bearing info to make sure we match that up. Then you could use something like the Kenda Karrier KR53 ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Black Mod Wheel # KE94WV.

What kind of trailer do you have?

Texas Bragg trailer with dual 3500 axles. Would going to 5 on 5 hub be more heavy duty than a 5 on 4.5?

@Troy No not necessarily more heavy duty. There are 5 on 5 wheels out there but if you want the most readily available with the most options 5 on 4-1/2" is definitely the way to go. Does your trailer have drum brakes? Or Idler hubs? We have options for both: - Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3.5K Axles - 10" - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K - Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3.5K Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

Hey Dave, for a saltwater boat trailer, powder-coated wheels wouldn't be my first choice, but they can still last quite a while if you're good about rinsing them thoroughly after each launch and sealing any chips or cracks in the finish as…

Kevin, I think you are absolutely making the right call replacing those tires. Even though they still look great on the outside, eight year old trailer tires are getting into the age range where internal deterioration becomes a bigger concern than…

Hey Clarence. There's no way to look at a tire or wheel and tell if it's a 5 on 4-1/2 or a 5 on 5 but you can take a real quick measurement to figure it out. If you'll look at the picture below you'll see a wheel with a red line on…
