Expert Answers about Jayco Boat Trailer Wheels

- You could absolutely use the Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel - 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized Finish

view full answer... - Any Leaf Springs Designed for Boat Trailers Used in Salt Water

view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Tire Wear on the Outside Edge of the Tire
- Typically, when the outside edges of a tire are showing wear its because the tires are under-inflated. The solution is to inflate the tires to the maximum pressure listed on the sidewall.

Unlike passenger vehicle tires, you always want to have trailer tires inflated to the maximum tire pressure for the best performance and wear.
