  • The Westlake 215/75R17.5 Radial Tire w/ 17-1/2" Wheel # LHAS701 does not include the balance beads, or any balancing done when the manufacturer mounts the tire and wheel combination.

  • Westlake ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire With 15" Steel Wheel and 5 On 5" Lug Pattern
  • I recommend getting the Westlake ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # LHWL300 and having it mounted to a Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20427 as we currently do not offer the Westlake tire you are needing on any 5 on 5" bolt pattern wheels as a combo. If you plan on mounting the tires yourself you will need a Americana Rubber, Snap-In Valve Stem # AM20903 for each wheel. The Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA66VR can be added when you mount the tire to balance the wheel and tires...

  • Can I Order a 12 Aluminum Wheel and Have It Mounted To a Tire Speed Rated For 81MPH?
  • You will have to mount the wheel and tire yourself or have it done at a tire shop as the wheel and tire combos we have come from the manufacturer. We have no way of mounting the tires in our facility. I have created a list of all our 12" aluminum wheels and tires with the 81mph speed rating you are looking for.

  • Availability Of Taskmaster ST235/75R15 Radial Off-Road Tire W/ Silver Mini Mod Trailer Wheel

It has the same Tire # WST54FR, but uses a Vesper Wheel # TA52FR in place of the Dexter Wheel # AM20539. These wheels are not mounted but are not balanced since trailer tires do not require balancing....

You will need 32 for the 4 wheels and tires on the axles and if depending...

  • Do You Have Any Wheel And Tire Packages With the 13" Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel?
  • Currently we do not carry any wheel and tire packages that come with the Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel # AX02350545BMFL mounted with a 175/80R13 tire. The wheel and tire packages we carry are mounted by the manufacturer and we do not have the ability to mount wheels and tires in our facility.

  • Does Karrier ST175/80R13 Trailer Wheel and Tire AM31985 Need to be Balanced
  • The tire and wheel combos we carry like the part # AM31985 are not machined balanced. You can have the tire and wheel combos balanced at a local tire shop if you wanted to. What some manufacturers will do is line up the light spot on the tire with the heavy spot on the wheel. This is a type of balancing but not like how car tires are balanced (with weights on a balancing machine).

  • 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.

  • Availability of Custom Wheel/Tire Package
  • As we don't have the equipment necessary to mount tires to the rims, we don't sell the # AM10140 tire mounted on a wheel, but you can purchase the # AM10140 and the # AM22319HWT wheel you asked about separately. You'd need to have them mounted at your local tire shop when they arrive. The wheel/tire combos we sell aren't balanced in the traditional sense. When the tires are mounted to the rims, the high (heavy) spot on the wheel is matched to the low (light) spot on the tire, which leaves...

  • Is The Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel Available in Radial Instead of Bias
  • We do not have a radial tire available in 5.30-12. and you will likely have a hard time finding one. The radial equivalent of the 5.30-12 is the ST145/R12. There is the Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30850 you were looking at for the 5.30-12 bias tire or the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire w/ 12" Galvanized Spoke Wheel # AM31202 for the ST145/R12 radial tire.

  • Replacement Wheel and Tire For Load Rite Personal Watercraft Trailer With 16.5x6.5-Tires
  • The Kenda 165/65-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel # AM3H220 appears to be the closest Wheel # AM20016 and Tire # AM1HP22 package we have to fitting your trailer. The wheel is 5-3/8" wide from bead seat to bead seat with a 0" offset. The 0" offset places the hub face at the center point of the wheel. This will give you a 2-11/16" offset from the back of the wheel hug face to the rear bead seat. This will be closer to 3" if you are including the wheel lip in your measurement. The...

  • Are Trailer Tires Available Already Mounted on a Wheel
  • It's not a stupid question at all! In this instance, you can obtain the 13 x 4-1/2 white powder coated wheel with a 5 lug on 4-1/2 inch bolt circle individually as part # AM20253, the ST175/80R13 Load Range C tire individually as part # AM10199 or the tire already mounted on the wheel as part # AM31957. The wheel/tire combos aren't machine balanced when we receive them, nor do we have the necessary equipment here to do that but you could have the tires balanced locally if you wish. Because...

  • Spare Wheel/Tire for 1964 Avion Travel Trailer with ST205/75D15 Tires on 6-on-5 1/2 Wheels
  • We do indeed offer both the tire size/type/rating you need as well as the wheel, but we just do not happen to offer them as a pre-mounted combination item.

  • Are Pre-Mounted Trailer Wheels and Tires Balanced
  • We do offer many popular combinations of trailer wheels and tires already mounted together by the distributor and these will be ready to mount on your Penski car hauler trailer. These wheel/tire items, all shown on the linked page, are not dynamically balanced in the way that vehicle tires are, but this step is optional with trailer tires. The distributor mounts them together with the tire's low spot matched to the wheel's high spot. This provides a degree of balancing that is usually...

  • Availability of Load Range D ST205/75R15 Trailer Tire on Silver 5-on-5 Mod Trailer Wheel

  • Availability of Load Range C and D Trailer Tires in Size ST225/75R15
  • For a Load Range C version of the # AM10256 that is Load Range D you would want the part # AM10251. This tire has a 2,150 lbs at 50 psi capacity. Since you are only looking for replacement tires you would not need to worry about the bolt pattern for the wheels. But I did attach a help article that details how to determine bolt pattern. The main office for Kenda is in Ohio. The Load Ranges can vary slightly from manufacturers, but in general they will represent the same weight capacities. The...

  • Looking for Taskmaster ST205/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire with 15 x 5-1/2 Inch White Mod Wheel
  • I spoke with my contact at Taskmaster and they do not produce a 5-1/2 inch wheel so you most likely have a 5 inch rim. Keep in mind that wheels are measured from bead seat to bead seat and not the overall width. For a Taskmaster ST205/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire with 15 Inch White Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, we have part # TA67VR. We only have one tire/wheel combo in the 5 on 5 bolt pattern, it is the Kenda Loadstar ST205/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire with 15" White Wheel - Load Range...

If you wanted to buy the wheels and tires separately, you could, but we do not have the equipment to mount the tires. You would need to go to a local shop to have them mounted. We also recommend having the the tires/wheels balanced at a local shop. The wheel/tire...
