Next Taller Trailer Tire Size than 18.5x8.5-8
Question:
What is the next size taller tire from 18.5x8.5-8, how much clearance is needed, will a taller tire be better for long highway trips, and will the next size taller tire fit the wheels I now have? I have a 1999 Floe Pro 100 with 18.5x8.5-8 tires. Thank you very much

Expert Reply:
For your 8 inch trailer tire size of 18.5x8.5-8 which is 18.3 inches in diameter the next taller size will require you to go to a larger wheel diameter since that's the biggest 8 inch wheel size. The next size up will be a 10 inch trailer wheel size 205/65-10 like the part # AM3H480 which has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern, or part # AM3H460 which has a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern. This tire size has an outer diameter of 20.4 inches.
