Question:
The rims on my Carlisle 570-8 tires have a 2 3/4 inch pilot hole and are 5 inches in width. All I saw on your listings were 3 3/4 width. My tires are 12-15 years old. Need to replace now. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
I wonder if you possibly aren't measuring from the correct location to determine the width of your trailer rims. If you are including the lips of the wheels you may actually have 3-3/4 inch wide rims and we would have a replacement that would work for you. Check out the picture I attached to see where you are supposed to measure.
If you do have a 3-3/4 inch wide rim I would recommend the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10013.
I attached an FAQ on trailer tires for you to check out as well.
