Hands-On with the Loadstar ST205/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire w/ 15" Silver Mod Wheel Video

Hey Howard, in general people don't balance trailer wheels and tires as it doesn't seem to make enough of a difference for it to be worth it but the tire of the Westlake ST205/75R15 Radial Tire w 15" Eagle Aluminum Wheel #WST69FR that…

The D in 205/75D15 represents that the tire has a bias ply construction whereas the R in 205/75R15 represents that the tire has a radial ply construction. The difference between a bias and radial ply is in regard to the directions of the cords. In…

The Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel #AM30140 fits 1/2"-20 wheel bolts so you will need a 1/2" lug nut such as the CE Smith #CE11051, though the Offset Spare Tire Carrier #CE27310G.

The three most common lug stud sizes for a trailer are 1/2"-20, 9/16"-18, and 5/8"-18. In order to make sure you get the correct lug nuts you need to measure the lug studs on the trailer now as we have no way to look this up for…

Thank you for the photo of your Carson trailer, which appears to be similar to their SU081 model. I checked their website for specs but no information is provided for the type of spare tire mount they supply on their trailers. Their's may be an…

Yes, you can run a 175/80-R13 tire on a trailer that came with a 175/80-D13 tire. The only difference between the two is that "R" stands for radial ply and "D" stands for diagonal. For a replacement 175/80-R13 tire, I recommend…

The difference between a D15 tire and an R15 tire is the construction. The D denotes that it's a bias tire and the R is for a radial tire. Which is best for you depends on the type of terrain you're towing the trailer on because bias tires…

Pilot diameter of a wheel is the center hole diameter. So the center hole on the Contender ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire #TA33ZR that you referenced is 3.19 inches. I went out into our warehouse to grab the other dimension you asked about and found…

Hello John. We do have tires and wheels that will fit your parameters. I will tell you though that we do not offer a pre-mounted tire and wheel combo with these specs. If you were to get a tire and wheel separately, then we can definitely…

The best option to lift your trailer with 3,500 lbs axles is definitely going to be the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit #K71-384-00. The reason for that is it is going to give you the most clearance, because it moves your…

Though we do not have a printable 5 lug bolt pattern sheet I can teach you how to properly measure your rim! Since your rim has 5 bolts you will need to measure from the center of one hole to the farthest edge of either of the two farther holes.…

I'm going to be perfectly honest...the risk is pretty minimal BUT due to the construction differences between bias ply and radial tires the sidewalls do end up flexing differently which could in turn end up with unpredictable ride…
