Expert Answers about Ram RV and Trailer Tire Covers
- How do you Determine the Size of a Spare Tire Cover for an RV?
- The size of the spare tire cover you need will depend on the overall diameter - or height - of the tire. For example, the Adco Spare Tire Cover # 290-1737 is for tires that have a diameter of 27". So if you measured your tire and it was 27 inches from top to bottom, this would fit. There are also covers such as the Classic Accessories Universal Fit Spare Tire Cover # 052963753875 which fit multiple sizes; this cover fits tires that are between 30" and 33".

- By my calculations, a 185/80D13 tire will be about 24.66 inches tall. The Classic Accessories Dual-Axle RV Wheel Cover, # CA80109, is 27 inches tall so it will be tall enough if not too tall. This cover is also 58 inches wide and 7 inches deep. A 185 tire is 7.289 inches deep so it will fall short in that department.
A better fit would be Classic Accessories RV Wheel Covers, # 052963762303. Two covers are included. They fit many sizes, among them the 185/80D13.

- When you calculate the diameter of your tire size you end up with 26.1 inches in diameter which would work well with the CE Smith tire cover part # CE27430. Now there can be some variance with tire brands on the actual size as well as when you consider tire wear.
Using a tape measure to measure the overall diameter will also tell you exactly what you have. Either way this cover would still fit and work well. It may end up a bit loose, but should still fit just fine.

view full answer... - Benefits of Switching to Trailer Tires with Higher Load Range and Speed Ratings
- Excellent question.
There is no disadvantage to using a special trailer tire with a higher weight Load Range Rating than is required by your trailer's weight. Doing so simply means that those higher-rated tires will tend to run cooler, since they will be operated below maximum capacity, and this is always a good thing with any tire.
Heat is the worst enemy of a tire and the two conditions that typically lead to excess heat build-up are overloading beyond rated weight capacity and operating...

- As long as you are okay with a little math you can easily determine the diameter of a tire with the size like you mentioned.
The number 205 of the tire size represents the section width of the tire, in millimeters. This is the measurement of the tire at its thickest point. If you want to convert centimeters to inches, divide the number of centimeters by 2.54. 1 Inch is about equal to 2.54 centimeters.
Example: 20.5 cm / 2.54 = 8.070 in
That means a 205/75R15 tire would have a section...
view full answer... - Will a Higher Load Range Tire Help Eliminate Cracking of Sidewalls on Loaded Trailer Being Stored
- When tires sit on a trailer that is used infrequently it will cause the tires to dry rot or crack on the sidewall from being exposed to the weather and not being moved. It will also increase the problem if it has a heavy load on the tires when being stored.
Steps you can take to keep the tires from cracking is to put the trailer on blocks or jack stands under the axles to take the weight off of the tires. Lower the air pressure (make sure to inflate the tires back to maximum psi when using...

- I reviewed photos of the 2006 Tahoe TranSport 5th wheel toy hauler and the wheel wells on this triple axle trailer do not appear to offer much in the way of extra space. Of course, I cannot know what tire sizes are installed on the trailers in these photos, but just the same it appears to be a pretty tight fit in those wheel wells.
The overall diameter of a ST235/75-16 trailer tire is just under 30-inches (29.87-inches to be exact). The diameter of a ST225/75-15 tire is smaller, at 28.4-inches....

- I went out to the warehouse to measure tire covers # CAM45333 for you. The width, seam to seam, is 8-1/4 inches. But there will be some slack so I do not foresee a problem with them fitting your 235/80-16 tires.

view full answer... - What is the Best Way to Determine How Much Weight is On 5th Wheel Trailer Axles
- The most accurate way you are going to determine how much weight is on the axles of your trailer would be to go to a weigh station and have just the trailer put on the scale. This will tell you exactly how much weight is on the tires and wheels. You would want to have the trailer hitched up to your trailer and only the trailer axles on the scale.
Trailer tires should be used on your trailer. Truck tires don't have the same sidewall construction and due to this can fail.

view full answer... - How to Select Correct Trailer Tire Weight Load Range
- The particular load range of trailer tire needed for any given application depends on the number of axles and tires. If a trailer were to have, for example, two 3500-lb-rated axles, then it would likely have a gross weight rating (GVWR) of about 7000-lbs. In this example it would be appropriate to use 4 tires rated for Load Range D, such as # TA24VR. This wheel/tire combination is rated for 2540-lbs at its specified 65-psi pressure. For your trailer that has a GVWR of 7K, these tires would...

- Most RV wheel chocks like the part # 288-02011 are around 6 inches tall. Most of the time two chocks is ideal. Putting one behind the rearmost wheel and then in front of the forward most wheel on the same side of the trailer will prevent it from moving.
