Expert Answers about Chevrolet Trailer Tires and Wheels


  • Replacement Tires and Wheels for a Utility Trailer with P185/70R14 Tires and 5 on 4-1/2 Wheels
  • I would recommend replacing the tires along with the wheels on your utility trailer. The tires that you currently have on your trailer are passenger car tires which can be identified by the P at the beginning of the tire size and it is not a common trailer tire size. Trailer tires will have an ST, or special trailer, designation on the tire size. Trailer tires are constructed with a stronger sidewall and can handle higher air pressures which are needed when carrying a load on a trailer....

  • Determining Replacement Tire and Wheel for Cargo Trailer
  • To replace the existing 4.80-12 size tires on your Carry-On utility trailer, I recommend the Taskmaster Bias Trailer Tire, 4.80-12, Load Range C # TTWSF48012C. For this tire mounted on a wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch wheel bolt pattern you can use the Taskmaster 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" White Spoke Wheel, 5 on 4-1/2, Load Range C # AM30660. This tire and wheel combo will work well to replace existing 4.80-12 size tire and wheel with 5 on 4-1/2 inch wheel bolt pattern. The # AM30660...

  • Replacement 5-Lug Wheel/Tire for 1978 Shoreline 3-Rail Motorcycle Trailer
  • I could not find any specs for the wheels/tires on your 1978 Shoreline 3-rail motorcycle trailer. Sometimes the stock tire size will be noted on the VIN sticker. In any case we can help. First, we need to confirm the hub/wheel bolt pattern as there are several different 5-bolt patterns. The linked article will tell you how to confirm which you have. Next we'll need to know the axle weight rating so that we can help you select tires of the appropriate Load Range that can handle the trailer's...

  • Replacement Trailer Tires to Replace Automotive Wheels and Tires on Trailer
  • Trailer tires should have ST in front of the 215/65R17 tire size. This stands for Special Trailer and tells you they are specifically designed for trailer use having a stronger sidewall than automotive tires. Kenda is a company that makes automotive as well as trailer tires. I've attached an article to assist with some of the general tire questions for trailers. Due to the wheel size, I would think they are automotive tires as we have no tires that are a fit for 17 inch wheels and...

  • Recommend Replacement Spare Trailer Wheel and Tire For Utility Trailer w/ 185/75R14 Tires
  • The closest replacement tire size we have for your existing 185/75R14 tire is going to be a 205/75-14, like the Kenda Tire and Wheel # AM3S440. You would need to measure on your trailer to see if you will have room to mount this tire. The overall diameter of this size tire is 26.3 inches, and the width is 7.8 inches. The load capacity of the # AM3S440 is 1,760 lbs at 50 PSI. Using the different-sized spare for emergency would be acceptable to get where you are going, in an emergency situation....

  • Replacement Wheel and Tire Possibilities for a 4.30-12 Wheel and Tire on a Landscape Trailer
  • Your 4.30 by 12 inch tire and wheel combination is roughly 18.8 inches tall and 4.3 inches wide. At this time we do not carry a wheel and tire combination that small.

  • We definitely have what you're looking for, although you will need to get the tire and wheel separately as the only combo we currently carry with that size tire and load range use a 6-Bolt pattern for the wheels.

  • Wheel and Tire Recommendation to Replace 20.5x8x10 Tire on Popup Camper
  • The wheel in your existing 20.5 x 8 - 10 wheel and tire combination is a 10 inch wheel with a 20.5 inch diameter and 8 inch wide tire, see link. This size is comparable to the metric size 205/65-10 trailer tire and wheel combination like the 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10 inch White Wheel, # AM3H370. You will need to determine the trailer's gross axle weight rating or the gross trailer weight of your trailer, loaded and ready to travel, to select the correct load range tire. In this...

  • To select new trailer tires/wheels for your Jayco pop-up camper you'll want to confirm the trailer's axle rating so you can select wheels and tires that have the necessary weight capacity. Usually there will be a sticker or plate on the axle itself that indicates its weight rating. You also want to match up your wheel bolt pattern to make sure new wheels fit your hubs.

  • Trailer Tires and Wheels to Replace 185/70R14 Tires on a Utility Trailer
  • Size 185/70-14 is not a common trailer tire size. Unless it has ST in front of the size it is a passenger vehicle tire and should not be used on a trailer. ST stands for special trailer. The smallest 14 inch trailer tire size is ST205/75-14. For a radial tire and wheel combo in this size with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern I recommend # AM32161. This set up is rated for 2200 pounds at 75 psi. I have included a link to a video review of this tire and wheel combo for you.

  • Replacement 13-Inch Trailer Wheel and Tire with 5-on-4-1/2 Bolt Pattern
  • We can help you select a suitable spare wheel/tire for your trailer that uses 13-inch wheels with a 5-on-4-1/2-inch bolt pattern. You will want to use the same tire type (bias ply or radial), size and one of the same load range as what is currently on the trailer. It is not a good idea to mix tires of different types, sizes or load ranges. You can use the linked page to see all 13-inch wheel/tire combinations with the 5-on-4-1/2 bolt pattern. Just click on the tire type, size and load...

  • Can a 5.30-12 Tire and Wheel be Replaced by a 205/65-10 Tire and Wheel
  • As long as the 205/65-10 tire and wheel combo will offer you enough weight capacity for your trailer and you have the clearance for the additional width, you can certainly use 205/65-10 size tires in place of your existing 5.30-12 size tires. Since some of the 205/65-10 tires offer a higher weight capacity than the 5.30-12 tires, the weight capacity isn't an issue for your set-up. The 205/65-10 tire you referenced, # AM3H480, has a Load Range E rating, with a maximum load of 1,650 pounds...
