The spare tire carrier I recommend that can be mounted to your trailer angle iron is the Redline Spare Tire Carrier, part # 413200.

This is a weld-on installation so you can mount it to your trailer in an location you have the room. This carrier works with 5, 6, and 8-lug wheels.

I have a large utility trailer. 101 inch wide. Has a utility rail and stake pockets. Which tire carrier would hold the trailer tire on side out no farther than the 101 inch width of the tires/fender?

Are you looking to mount the spare on the side rails, or up somewhere on the tongue or A-frame? You could use something simple like the CE Smith # CE22007Z-11050-2 to mount it on the tongue, which wouldn't increase the trailer's width at all. If you have something different in mind please just let me know.

Your calculations are correct, your tire capacity is 7,040 lbs. You always want to go with the lowest rated component in your towing setup as your overall towing capacity. So if you check your trailers overall capacity and it is lower than this…

This is a great question. So the simplest way to look at it is to inflate the tires to the max psi when cold and as long as you are under the weight capacity for the tire and under the speed rating any pressure fluctuation is going to be okay. It is…

Answer 10

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…
