• Can I Upgrade 3,500 lb Axles to 5,200 lb Axles
  You can definitely swap out your 3,500 lb axles for 5,200 lb axles but there are a number of other things that need to be changed out as well. Your leaf springs can technically stay the same but if you're overloading the axles then you're definitely overloading the leaf springs as well so you need to upgrade there, and even then your trailer frame is rated for a specific weight rating so you can be within your 10,400 lb axle and spring rating but you could be overloading your trailer. If...

• Recommended Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors for Montana Travel Trailer
  To determine which Bearing Buddies you'll need, use a digital caliper to measure the inside diameter of the hub bore, not the outside diameter of the grease cap. Given the 2.443 inch dimension you provided, it's extremely likely that you'd need the model 2441 Bearing Buddy which measures 2.441 inches in diameter. They're available in chrome as part # BB2441 or stainless as part # BB2441SS. If your hub bores are threaded, use part # BB2441T-SS. I'd still recommend you measure for confirmation.

• Do Newer Trailer Tires Go On The Front Or Rear Axle Of A Gooseneck Trailer
  I recommend new tires all around like the Karrier # AM32680 rather than replacing only 2. The front axle will usually carry more of the weight, but the rear wheels will wear sooner due scrubbing or skidding on trailer turns. In addition to front or back consideration, another is also which axle has brakes and is it a straight or torsion axle? If both have brakes then put new tires on the rear axle if it is a regular straight axle; but if the trailer uses torsion axles put them on the...

• Replacing A 3,500lb Axle With A 5K or 6K Axle
  When you go from 3,500lb axles to 5K or 6K axles you're going to need to replace the brakes and wheels as well to the appropriate capacities. We carry the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 95" Long - 6,000lbs # 7461121 which would match your 95" hub face and 80" spring center, but will require new hubs, drums, and wheels. For the hub and drum assemblies I recommend the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 12" - 6 on 5-1/2 # 8-201-9UC3-EZ....

• Highest Load Rated Tires & Wheels for 6 on 5.5 Lug Pattern and Smallest Overall Diameter
  All of the tire and wheel combos for a 6 on 5-1/2 lug patterns are 15 and 16 inch wheels and all are 225/75-15 sized so they all have the same outside diameter. They are all load range E. The Kenda # AM32680 and the Westlake # LHAW124 are rated for 2830 pounds each. The manufacturers load rating is valid from 1 mile per hour to their maximum speed rating. The load capacity does not go up if you drive slower. I have included a link to the product page and also to a review video.

• Disc Brakes, Tires, and Wheels for Timbren 5,200 Pound Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System
  For 5,200 pound axles such as # ASR5200S04 I recommend disc brake kit # K2HR526D which will accept wheels as small as 15 inches. Only certain kits with certain bearing sizes will fit the spindles on the axle-less systems so 15 is as small as you can go. That means a 225/75-15 tire and wheel combo, see link. This size has an outer diameter of 28.4 inches. For a tire and wheel in this size that has a higher enough capacity for 5,200 pound axles I recommend # AM32680 rated for 2,830 pounds...

• Is # AM32680 Wheel Tire Combo Balanced
  Because trailer axles do not steer, it is nowhere as crucial that trailer tires be balanced. On a passenger vehicle, the vibration caused by an out of balance tire is immediately evident. For a trailer, most people wouldn't notice it. The wheel and tire combos we sell are not balanced at the factory. When the tire is mounted to the wheel, the high (heavy) spot on the wheel is matched to the low (light) spot on the tire, which leaves the wheel and tire somewhat balanced. This works very...

• Valve Stem Material On Americana Tire Wheel Combo
  The valve stems used on the Americana ST225/75R15 Radial Tire, part # AM32680, are constructed of steel reinforced rubber and rated up to 100 psi. Steel valve stems are recommended when buying tires that have a requirement over 100 psi, so with the psi for this tire at 80, you should have no problem with the valve stems.

• Information Needed to Add Electric Trailer Brakes to a Trailer
  I am sure we have all of the parts you would need to add brakes to your trailer, but we first need to determine what you have on your trailer so that we can get the right components. I attached a help article that covers the entire process for you to check out, but basically we have to first determine what spindle you have on your trailer so that we can pick out the correct hub/drums and then pick out the correct brake assemblies based on that. You will have to pull a hub off your trailer...

• Weight Capacity of the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15
  The maximum load range of a trailer tire multiplied by the number of tires will need to be greater than the gross trailer weight (GTW) of the trailer. The Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" White Wheel part # AM32664 has a maximum load capacity of up to 2,540 lbs per tire. If you have only one axle then the above wheel/tire combination will have a maximum capacity of up to 5,080 lbs but if you have two axles then the combination will have a maximum load capacity of up to 10,160...

• Can 9,500 lb 5th Wheel Trailer Be Safely Lowered By 4 to Fit Through Barn Door
  Thanks for reaching out Earl! The limiting factor in this situation is the weight rating. Since your trailer dry weight will be about 9,500 lbs this means your individual tires need to be rated for at least 2,375 lbs in order to safely carry the weight of your 5th wheel. Because of this, the smallest trailer tire you can use is a 255/75-15 like the Radial Kenda # AM32680 rated for 2,830 lbs at 80 psi which comes with a 6-1/2" bolt pattern on the wheel. This tire size has about a 2-1/2"...

• Advisability of Increasing Tire Size and Tire Load Rating on Utility Trailer
  The general rule of thumb is that you'll want at least three inches of bump clearance with the trailer at full load. The 225/75-15 tire is about 2 inches larger in diameter than the 205/75-14 tire you're currently using. Using the larger tire will move the tire one inch closer to the fender, so in my opinion going with a larger tire size wouldn't be a good idea unless raising the fender is possible. Also, keep in mind that going with a larger tire with a higher load rating won't necessarily...

• Reasons for Trailer Tire Failures
  Tire failure is usually caused by a few things. It can be from overloading the trailer, improper tire inflation, and/or exceeding the speed rating for the tire. You should verify that the tire capacity you have for you trailer is adequate for how much your trailer weighs. The weight capacity for the tire will be listed on the sidewall of the tire. The highest rated tire we offer in the 205/75R14 size has a 2,100 lb capacity, so if you have tandem axle trailer you would not have enough...

• Availability of a Trailer Tire/Wheel in 225/75R15 Size That Is Balanced
  The pre-mounted tire/wheel products we offer, such as Dexstar ST225/75R15 Radial Tire with 15-inch White Wheel # AM32680, are not fully dynamically balanced like an auto tire, but the low spot on the tire is matched to the high spot on the wheel. This is not quite the same as a fully dynamic balance but it does provide a degree of balancing that will be sufficient for use on a trailer. The linked article will give you additional information on tires.

• Where is the Date Code Located on a Trailer Tire
  The date code on a tire is a 4 digit code stamped somewhere with the other information on the sidewall of a tire. I included a picture showing what to look for. The first 2 numbers are the week and the second 2 numbers are the year. In the picture I included the code is 2511 meaning that tire was produced in the 25th week of 2011. This is obviously an older picture since we would not have tires that old still on the shelves.

• Where are Kenda Trailer Tires Made
  Kenda trailer tires are primarily made in China like most trailer tires. The only Radial trailer tires that I'm aware of that are made in the United States are the Goodyear Endurance line. Carlisle has a bias ply line of tires made in the States, but all of their Radial tires are also made overseas. I'm particularly fond Kenda's tires because they have a testing facility in Ohio where they invest a considerable amount of resources in the testing, design and compound research for their...

• Comparing Weight of Aluminum and Steel Wheel for Combo with Tire Size ST225/75R15
  I can give you a comparison in weight between two wheel and tire options we have with the size ST225/75R15 one with a steel wheel and one with an aluminum. For a steel option we have the # AM32680 which weighs 53 lbs and then for a similar aluminum option we have the # LH36FR which weighs 45 lbs.

• Version of Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire LHAW124 that Has White Wheel
  We do not have a version of the # LHAW124 that has a white mod wheel. The only other tire/wheel combo with the same specs is the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Tire with 15" White Spoke Wheel - 6 on 5-1/2" - Load Range E # AM32680. It is white but a spoke design rather than the mod design. If you could go down to a load range D, we have a Taskmaster Provider with white Mod Wheels # TA24VR or the white spoke wheels # TA84VR. These load range D sets are rated 2,540 lbs at 65 psi compared...

• Will Brakes For A Dexter 8-174-5UC3 Hub Also Work In A 8-201-9UC3-EZ Hub
  The Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-9UC3-EZ will actually be a great replacement if you are wanting to swap out your current # 8-174-5UC3 drums. Not only do these use the exact same inner and outer bearings, they also accept the same 12" x 2" brake assemblies, like the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust # 23-464-465. The 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern will also be a lot easier to match wheels to, and if you have not looked at an as of yet, I can recommend checking out the Kenda Karrier ST225/75R15...

• What is Minimum Distance Between Trailer Tandem Tires
  As a general rule of thumb the minimum safe distance between front and rear tires on the same side of a tandem axle trailer is 4 inches. You will need a minimum of 1 inch between the tires with the suspension in full flex when the tires will be the closest together. My guess is someone went with a larger tire and wheel setup. If you went down to the tire size of 225/75-15 you'd have enough clearance which you could do with the # AM32680 which has a 6 lug bolt pattern which is most likely...

• Increasing Tire Load Bearing For 15" Wheels
  It sounds like you want to make sure the trailer tires you're using are able to support the most amount of weight your axles and wheels will allow. My best recommendation for that is the Karrier ST225/75R15 - 6 on 5-1/2" - Load Range E # AM32680 tire. It has a 10-ply rating and will support weights up to 2,830 lbs. at a maximum 80 PSI. Maximum weight ratings and maximum PSI can differ from wheel to wheel and tire to tire, even when you're looking at specific measurements such as only 15"...

• Locating Replacement Tires and Wheels for 1963 Holiday Rambler
  I am not able to find what tire size you currently would have on your 1963 Holiday Rambler so unfortunately I can't verify if the Kenda Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Tire and Wheel Combo # AM32680 that you referenced will work as a replacement. Trailer manufactures don't typically do a good job of making information like this available and it can be especially hard to research on older trailers like what you have. To ensure this tire and wheel will work perfectly you will want to check for...

• How To Choose the Correct Wheels for a 6-Lug Hub with 2.50 Bore
  In regards to choosing the correct wheel/tire for a trailer hub, the hub bore really only matters when using hub piloted wheels and most wheels for trailers are not hub piloted. Instead, for lug piloted wheels the hub pilot of the wheel simply needs to be larger than the hub bore of the hub. I am not sure which size you are looking for but the Karrier Radial Tire with White Spoke Wheel part # AM32680 is our best option. I have attached a full list of options below.
