  • Spare Tire Cover Recommendation For A 2008 Jeep With LT305/55R20 Spare Tire

  • Recommended Spare Tire Cover for Jeep with 255/75-17 Tires
  • If my math is correct, your 255/75-17 tires are 32 inches in diameter, so you'll need a spare tire cover designed for a tire of that size. I'd recommend the # RA773201 in black. The cover is very durable, it's constructed of the same heavy duty vinyl used in Jeep soft tops.

  • Is The Rectangle Securing Plate For The Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier An Available Replacement Part
  • Unfortunately, the only parts sold separately from the Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier # TR-1 are replacement bumper mount u-bolts # TR-2200 and the replacement bolts # 2109 for securing the tire to the carrier. You would have to buy the whole carrier to get the little rectangular piece that clamps down on the wheel to secure it. That being said you could also just get a scrap piece of metal that's long enough to cover the bore hole of your spare wheel and drill a large enough hole through...

  • Determining Bolt Pattern to Choose a Spare Tire for a Trailer
  • You most likely have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern but there are ways to determine the bolt pattern for sure. You can measure the center to center distance from one hole to an adjacent one. If the distance is: 2-5/8" - the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2 2-3/4" - the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4 3" - the bolt pattern is 5 on 5 3-1/4" - the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2 There is another way that is a little more difficult unless the wheel is not on the trailer. It is covered in the link I have provided...

  • Spare Trailer Tire for a 1968 Shasta Travel Trailer with ST175/80R13 Tires
  • Trailers do not have a donut type of spare available as an option. Trailer tires are built differently than passenger vehicle tires. They are made with a thicker sidewall to handle more vertical load. A donut would not be sufficient. You would just use the same size tire and wheel as a spare as what is already on the trailer. In this case use an ST175/80R13 tire. I have included a link to the right to all of the tire and wheel combos we have in size ST175/80R13. We have a lot of spare...

  • Can I Use a Non-Matching Size Tire as a Spare
  • Unfortunately a 7.00x15 tire is going to be about 1" larger in diameter compared to a ST225/75r15 tire, and you really can't run tires of 2 different sizes without creating issues that will surface with long term use; namely uneven tire wear and the potential for another blowout. You could potentially get away with this as a spare tire as long as it's only used to get yourself from the point of malfunction to the nearest tire shop but you would want to make sure that the capacity of the...

  • Can I Use A ST 225/75/D/15 For A Spare Tire In Place Of A ST 225/75/R/15
  • Yes, you can use a ST 225/75/D/15 like the Loadstar # AM1ST96 for a spare in place of a ST 225/75/R/15. While there are differences between radial and bias-ply tires, they are not significant enough to make a difference for spare tire use unless you foresee that spare seeing active use long term after replacing an existing tire. A bias tire has a stiffer sidewall and might be used more on off road applications, like farm use. Because of the construction of a radial tire, the tire has...

  • Replacement Cradle for Rhode Gear Spare Tire Shuttle Bike Rack
  • The only replacement cradle part still available from Yakima for the Rhode Gear Spare Tire Shuttle is the # RG8890084 replacement cradle. According to Yakima, the Spare Tire Shuttle had a different diameter frame tube (1 inch) than other Rhode Gear racks, which is why the # RG8890083 wouldn't work unless you shimmed out the tube with tape or via some other method.

  • Spare Tire Needed for the Malone EcoLight Trailer # MAL53FR
  • It is always best to use the same tire and wheel combination for a spare that you are current using on any trailer. The Spare Tire # MAL33FR is made directly for the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer # MAL53FR that you have so I recommend going with it. If you changed out your tires for something else just let me know what you have and I can make a different recommendation.

  • Spare Wheel and Tire for Big Tex 35SA Utility Trailer
  • A rim like the # MX34FR will work with your 250/75R15 tires. These tires fit a 15" rim with widths varying from 5" - 6-1/2". Matching the tire size for your spare is the important part. This means for a spare tire you can use the Kenda Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Black Mod Wheel # AM32238B.

  • It would be fine to use the Provider ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 14" White Spoke Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR C Item # TTWA14RWS as a spare in case of an emergency to get you home or to a tire shop. You are correct, there will be a slight difference in diameter and width when compared to your current 195/75R14 tires. Ideally you want a tire that is the same size as a spare, especially if you think you are traveling long distances. Using a different size for more than a short distance...
