  • What Makes a Wheel Rated for Use on a Boat Trailer
  • The Steel Modular Trailer Wheel part # AM20365 has a white powder coated finish. It can still be used on a boat trailer but it will not hold up well in due time. Boat trailer wheels are frequently submerged in both fresh and saltwater applications which makes them much more prone to rust and corrosion. Rust and corrosion will not only take the finish off of the wheel but it will also corrode the bead seat which will cause the tire to leak air. Instead, I recommend going with a wheel that...

  • Why Is Kenda Karrier ST205/75R14 Tire w/ Galvanized Wheel Listed as a Boat Trailer Tire
  • The Kenda Karrier st205/75R14 Radial Tire with 14" Galvanized Wheel # AM32156 can absolutely be used on a car hauler. The only reason we label it as a boat trailer wheel is because of the corrosion resistance of the galvanized wheel, which makes it a great option for a boat trailer that sees a lot of moisture but certainly doesn't limit it to that application. This tire and wheel will work great as a replacement as long as it gives you the proper combined load capacity for the weight...

  • Can Dexstar Mini Mod Trailer Wheel AM20545 Be Used On Boat Trailer
  • The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel part # AM20545 can be used on a boat trailer but since you said the trailer will be launched in the ocean an aluminum wheel would be a better solution since it won't corrode. The Aluminum HWT 07 part # AM20456 is same size and wheel bolt pattern, is aluminum and looks really nice.

  • 5-Way Adapter Recommendation for 5th Wheel with 4-Way Towing Boat Trailer

  • Replacement Wheel and Tire for Boat Trailer with ST205/75-14 with 5 Lug Wheel
  • Yes, the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Galvanized Wheel # AM32156 would be a great option to replace what you have on your boat trailer. Trailer tires should be replaced at between 4 and 6 years of age so you are definitely due for a new set.

  • Why Is Kenda 205/65-10 Wheel And Tire Combination AM3H480 Not Recommended For Boat Trailers?
  • The reason the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range E # AM3H480 you were looking at calls out not being ideal for a boat trailer is due to the wheel, not the tire.

  • Can You Use Black 13" Wheels On a Boat Trailer In Saltwater
  • For most boat trailers, it's okay to use powder coated steel wheels but this is mostly for freshwater. I am not saying you can't use powder coated steel wheels on a boat trailer in saltwater but it's really not the best option for longevity. It will help to rinse them down after but the issue is with water corroding the beat seats, creating leaks and it's hard to get all the water out of the cracks between the tire and wheel.
