Expert Answers about Wheel and Tire Cleaner


  • The Best Wheel Cleaning Spray and Brush for RV and Trailer Wheels
  • To clean your Trailer Wheels you're going to want to use the Griot's Garage Wheel Cleaner for Vehicles and RVs item # 34910970. This cleaning spray loosens and breaks down light to moderate road grime on your vehicle's wheels. You will want to wait until your wheels are cool to the touch and then rinse each wheel before spraying it down with the cleaning spray. The wheel cleaner comes in a 22 fl oz spray bottle. I recommend using the Griot's Garage Wheel Cleaning Brush - Microfiber - 18"...

  • Recommended Non-Abrasive Brush And Wheel Cleaner For Wheel Lug Nuts
  • All of the cartridges for the Counteract Stud Cleaning Tool for 1/2" Wheel Studs # CA97FR are going to use stainless steel bristles. That being said, there is not going to be any non-abrasive cartridges that's going to work with the Counteract Stud Cleaning Tool # CA97FR.

This brush...

  • Curt 20K 5th Wheel Hitch And Wiring That Will Work For A 2022 Ford F-250 With OEM Pucks
  • For your 2022 Ford F-250, we have the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Ford OEM Legs # C16034. This hitch will fit into the factory pucks on your 2022 F-250, and has a maximum capacity of 20,000-lbs, like you mentioned you were after.

I also do recommend a 7-way relocation kit like the Hopkins...

  • Parts Needed To install The B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch On A 2022 Ford F-350
  • The B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W is a great choice for your 2022 Ford F-350! To install this hitch, you will just need to install the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWGNRK1116-5W, and you'd be all set to use the hitch. I do also recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector for Aluminum Beds # C57010.

  • Converting a Curt Q20 5TH Wheel Hitch To Fit a 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 Long Bed With Factory Prep/Puck
  • To mount a Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16130 into your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 there are a couple options. First and easiest is to use the Adapter Rails # C88KR that will drop into your factory prep/puck system and give you the connection points for your Curt Q20 hitch to drop into. This will add an additional 2-1/2" of height to your hitch height. So rather than 13" to 17" of height you will have 15-1/2" to 19-1//2" of height from your bed. The second option will require you to...

  • Why Use Protective Storage Covers for 24-Foot Jayco Travel Trailer and Trailer Tires
  • I think you got good advice. The natural rubber used to manufacture tires really is amazingly durable when you think about it. It can hold up for tens of thousands of miles while carrying thousands of pounds! But if you want to see what UV radiation can do to man-made materials just put something that is not made for sun exposure in the path of strong UV radiation for a week or two. I learned this lesson the hard way after my wife and I bought a fancy new vacuum cleaner for the house....

  • What is the Modern Tire Equivalent of a B78 x 15C Tire and How to Add Electric Brakes to Trailer
  • A B78x15C tire is an obsolete tire size with an approximate diameter of 25" and the closest available size we have to that is the Kenda Karrier 205/70/R15 # AM10245, which will be approximately 27.1" in diameter. These tires have a 2150-lb capacity (per tire), so as long as your trailer's GVWR is less than 4300-lbs these would work well. When it comes to adding brakes, you'll first need to verify that your trailer has brake mounting flanges on the axles; it would also be helpful to know...

  • Finding a Replacement Tire and Wheel for a Golf Cart
  • We have not received any feedback of customers using this wheel and tire combination on a golf cart. When choosing a replacement wheel and tire for a trailer or, in your case, a golf cart, there are a few things to consider before purchasing a wheel or tire. The wheel and tire combinations we sell are designed for use on trailers, but I will be happy to see if anything we carry will work for you.

  • Off-Road 235/75R15 Trailer Tire Mounted on 15 x 5 Lionshead Lynx Wheel
  • We receive our wheel and tire combos from the distributor with the tires already mounted on on the wheel, as we don't have the equipment to mount tires at any of our facilities. We do offer the tire separately as part # WST54FR. You could purchase the tire along with the # LHSL301 wheel and have the tire mounted locally for a small fee. I've linked to product description videos for the wheel and the trailer tire mentioned above.

  • Looking for a New ST185/80D13 Trailer Tire or Tire and Wheel Combo for a Coleman Popup Camper
  • The Kenda Loadstar ST185/80D13 Trailer Tire, # AM1ST79, will fit on your current trailer wheels. PSI ratings are more important for tires than they are for wheels. Your current wheels should be able to support a 65 PSI with the new tires. Outer tire wear is typically related to under-inflation or a bent spindle. If you mount new tires and have the same issue, I recommend taking your trailer to a trailer service shop to have them inspect the spindles and the axle. If you do not want...

  • Recommended Low Profile Wheel and Tire for Trailer with 3500-lbs Axle
  • Typically with a 3500-lbs axle you'll just need to make sure that your wheels and tires are rated for that capacity, so you'd need wheels and tires that are at least 1750-lbs per tire. Something like the # AM32156 is a 14" wheel that is 26" overall and has a 1900-lbs capacity per tire. Going down to a 13" wheel/tire like the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D # AM31985 would get you a little closer to capacity but still safe at 1660-lbs...

  • Recommended 15 Inch Trailer Tires and Wheels for Long Life
  • We like to keep our prices pretty competitive. We recommend that trailer tires be replaced every 6 or 7 years regardless of how worn they are. Since trailer tires are often not used everyday, like vehicle tires, a lot of times they get old before they wear out. Tires break down over time just from being exposed to the elements like sunlight and saltwater. A trailer wheel will last much longer than the tires, often for many years, depending on how the trailer is used and the construction...

  • Radial Tire on Wheel with 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern to Replace 4.80-12 Size Tire
  • It sounds like you're looking for the Kenda S-Trailer ST145/R12 tire, part # AM10140, on a wheel that has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. If that's the case then you want part # AM31215. The 145/R12 is the closest radial size we have to a 4.80-12 size tire. The wheel it's on is an aluminum 5-star wheel. I've linked a video of the tire by itself and the wheel and tire together for you.

  • Recommended Wheel And Tire To Replace a ST175/80R13 Radial Tire With a 4 on 4 Wheel
  • We don't, the only ST175/80-13 wheel tire combos we carry with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern are ones like the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" White Wheel # AM3S120, which are diagonal bias tires. If you didn't mind the tire and wheel being separated, then you could just use the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10210 with the Aluminum HWT Series S5 Trailer Wheel # AM22322HWTB.

  • Thanks so much for the photos! According to the pictures, you have ST225/75-R15 tires on a 6 on 5-1/2 lug pattern wheel on your 1978 Avion. With these specs and the style you have, I recommend the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Aluminum Wheel - 6 on 5-1/2 # AM32669. This tire comes with a maximum load rating of 2,830 lbs and come with the same high-quality radial ply that you have on your current tires.

  • Spare 4.80-12 Wheel/Tire for Yacht Club Boat Trailer
  • As far as the tire size discrepancy goes, I believe you have 12 inch diameter wheels, if you indeed have 4.80-12 tires. You can't fit a 12 inch tire on a 13 inch wheel, but if you measured the wheel from the wrong spot, you can easily come up with 13 inches (see diagram I've provided). As long as the 4.80-12 tires/wheels are working well for you, there wouldn't be any good reason to switch to a different size. Unless you have an extra wheel lying around, you'll need a wheel/tire combo....
