Expert Answers about Grand Design Trailer Tires and Wheels


  • Replacement Wheel for 2021 Appalachian Equipment Trailer
  • Hey Daniel, so we can help but the solution will be a different brand wheel. The Taskmaster Vesper Steel Mod Wheel part # MX59FR would be exactly the same as the part # LHAW133 wheel but it is a different brand.

  • Does Cooper Work Series 215/75R17.5 Radial Tire w/ 17-1/2" Wheel Come Balanced
  • Hey Jim, thanks for reaching out! None of our tires come balanced, including the Cooper Work Series 215/75R17.5 Radial Tire w/ 17-1/2" Wheel # LH28FR you're looking at. With that being said, since trailers don't have passengers in them they don't need to run as smooth as vehicles so trailer tires don't have to be balanced. If you'd like to have them balanced by a tire shop then that's totally fine as well.

  • Recommended Tire Replacement for 155/80R13 Tire on a Shorelander Boat Trailer
  • I recommend the 145/80-12 over the 5.30-12 simply because the it comes in a Radial construction while the 5.30-12 is only available in a Bias construction. Either one can be used for a boat trailer, but Radial is overall better for highway use which is why I recommend going that route. For a 4 on 4" bolt pattern I recommend the part # AM31208HWT which comes with an aluminum wheel but if you have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern the galvanized wheel kit # AM31202. I'm linking some review videos...

  • Solution for Needing Trailer Wheel with 5 on 4-3/4 inch Bolt Pattern and 205//75-15 LR D
  • Hey Phillip, so we only have Load Range C tires mounted on wheels with the bolt pattern you need of 5 on 4-3/4 inches like with the part # KE89JR like you mentioned. So one option would be a tire by itself that matches what you need with the part # AM10245 and then mount it to a wheel like the part # AM38NR locally.

  • Does The Karrier ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # KE77JR Come Already Balanced
  • Hi Darryl, The Karrier ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Aluminum Wheel # KE77JR does not come already balanced so you'll need to either take it to a tire shop or you can use some Counteract balancing beads to balance the tire yourself. Counteract Tire Balancing Beads Single Pack for Trailers - 4 oz # CA66VR (1 tire) Counteract Tire Balancing Beads for Tandem Axle Trailers - 4 Tires # CA83VR (4 tires)

  • What Wheel And Tire Clearances Are Needed For A Trailer Build
  • Hey John, To have enough clearance for the trailer with a leaf spring suspension to travel over bumps in the road you want to have at least 3 to 4 inches between the tire tread and the fenders as well as 1 to 2 inches between the side wall and inside of the wheel well. As you hit bumps and/or add weight to the trailer the springs will start to compress, moving your tire closer to the fender. With a Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension like part # ASR35HDS02 the center of your wheels...

  • Wider Tire Option to Replace 5.30-12 on Trailer
  • Hey Micah, the most similar trailer tire size to what you have now that's going to be significantly wider would be the 205/65-10 like the part # AM3H490 for if you have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern or the part # AM3H460 for if you have a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern. These are going to be about 8 inches wide and have an 87 mph speed rating.

  • Is There A 205/75R14 Or 215/75R14 Tire With A Load Range Higher Than D Available
  • Hey Steven, We don't offer a 205/75R14 or 215/75R14 with a load range higher than D so the next closest option would be a 225/75R15. This would be a bit larger so you'd likely run into clearance issues with the fenders and since these wheels come with a 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern and you likely have a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern you'd have to replace the hubs and wheels as well. Let me know if you want to go this route and we can figure out the parts needed, if not then I'd call around to your local...

  • Can I Change My Hubs From A 14" Wheel To A 10" Wheel?
  • Hello Calvin. That is an interesting question. Usually, most folks want to go with larger wheels instead of smaller. The main problem we are going to run in to here, it that the hubs that are made for a 10" wheel will not fit on an axle/spindle with a hub designed for a 14" wheel. For example the # AKHD-550-35-EZ-K hub is made to support wheels between 13" and 15" only. When we go down in size we get to a hub/drum such as part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K. This hub will support a 10" wheel, but...

  • Recommended Snow Tire Chains For a 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander With 255/65-18 Tires
  • I recommend the Konig K-Summit Tire Chains # TH02230K77 for your 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander with the 255/65-18 oem wheels and tires. This is the only chain we currently carry for this size with rim protection so you do not have to worry about the chain or straps other system use damaging your new wheels. It is also very easy to connect unlike other chains since you do not have any parts to wrap around or connect on the backside of the tire.

  • Spare Wheel/Tire for 2024 Coleman Lantern lt 17r
  • Hey Kameron I did a little research on your RV and I believe your 2024 Coleman Lantern LT17R has the tire size ST215/75R14 which for that you could use the Kenda wheel and tire part # AM32182. I would recommend verifying this is the correct tire size though.

  • Wedge For Reese Sidewinder RP34FR & Demco Recon 5th Wheel Hitch
  • Hey John, Thanks for the purchases and you have everything you need except the wedge. I verified directly with Reese that the correct wedge to use with the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550043 and Reese Sidewinder # RP34FR is the following: - Sidewinder Wedge Kit for B&W, Demco, and Husky Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP74FR The other wedge is for the older model of Sidewinder, and the # RP74FR is the only applicable version for this model of Sidewinder with the Demco hitch.

  • Wheel/Tire and Hub that Fits Timbren Axle Less 5,200 lb Axle Kit
  • Hey Matt, so it looks like the items you added to your cart are the Timbren Axle Less Kit part # TASR5200S03, Karrier Wheel and Tire part # AM32764, and the wheel part # AM20746. I could be looking at an outdated history of what you have in your cart right now but it does seem like you are missing a hub for the Timbren and wheels to attach to so for that you'd also need the # 8-213-5UC1.

  • Is There 15 inch Wheel Version of Loadstar K550 Tire
  • Hey Donnie, so the Loadstar K550 bias ply tire is the part # AM1ST86 which is a tire size of ST205/75D14. For a similar tire in the size you mentioned of ST205/75D15 you'd need the part # AM1ST92.

  • Determining Axle Spacing For An 8-Lug Tandem Torsion Axle Setup
  • Hi Chad, When installing a tandem axle setup you'll want to have at least 4" of space between the tires to allow for suspension travel without having the tires touch. For example, with a 215/75R17.5 tire size, like part # LH28FR, you would need to space the axles at least 34.2" apart.

  • Does Tire Linc Pre of Keystone RV Actually Come with Anything
  • Hey Bob, I checked with Keystone and the Tire Linc Prep oddly enough doesn't really come with anything and essentially you need to buy the kit part # LC37VR. This includes 4 sensors but if you needed more you could order the part # LC97VR for an additional two.

  • How to Raise a 2014 Rockwood Mini Lite 1906 With Torflex #10 Axle At Least 3"
  • The Torflex Lift Kit # K71-707-01 is our only lift kit we have for your 2014 Rockwood Mini Lite 1906 with a #10 Dexter Torflex axle. This kit is only available with a 2-5/8" lift for your axle. You could consider switching to the larger ST235/75R15 Radial Off-Road Tire w/ 15" Black Spoke Wheel # KE78JR which is 2.7" taller so it would raise your trailer by another 1.35".

  • Can 4.80-12 Tires Be Upgraded to 5.30-12 Tires
  • The 5.30-12 tires, like the Kenda Bias Trailer Tire # AM30790 you were looking at, have about a 1-1/2" larger diameter than your 4.80-12 tires, so if your fender can accommodate 3/4" more tire and still retain 2" of height clearance (to account for suspension travel) you'll be good to go!
