Wheel/Tire Combo For 10 Ft Utility Trailer Carrying 700 Lb Motorcycle

Question:

I have a 10ft utility trailer that I plan on hauling a 700lb motorcycle 1200 miles on. And its in need of new rubber. The Majority of my travel will be on the highway running 70mph. Would these be the ideal tire for that?

The Taskmaster ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15 inch White Mod Wheel, part # TA47VR may work for you but you will need to know the wheel bolt pattern on your wheels. I have attached a helpful article that explains how to measure your wheel to determine the bolt pattern.

This tire/wheel combo has a 5 on 4-1/2 wheel bolt pattern and has a maximum load capacity of 1,870 lbs at 50 psi. It has a 6 ply tire with a load range C rating.

If you are considering a bigger tire than you currently have, you will need to make sure you have the clearance that can accommodate the bigger size.
