Replacement Trailer Tire for 1997 Shoreland'r Jet Ski Trailer

Question

Question:

I have a 1997 shorelander carrier I used for my jet skis! The tire company states they no longer make 175/60 R13 and can I replace it with 175/80 R13? I have these tire on 175/80 R13 do you recommend I remove the fender part?

The closest tire size we have to what you listed is going to be the 175/80R13 that you mentioned. For just a tire in that size the part # LHWL101 would be your best option. It has a speed rating of 75 mph and has a 2-year roadside assistance program that is very appealing as well.

I attached a review video for more info as well.

The tire size should be close enough that your fender clearance would be fine, but worst case scenario you could take them off.

Thank you for all of the info! You can safely use a wider tire, but we recommend having 3" - 4" of clearance from the tire to the wheelwell (fender) so that they don't make contact when your suspension moves. I'm not sure what size…

Thanks for giving me the dimensions and part number of the hub you are looking for. Based on that I can tell that you have a BTR spindle on your trailer. I also was able to determine that you need a bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inch with 1/2 inch…

Since you want to change your trailer hubs to the 5-on-4-1/2 bolt pattern I suggest you select a 60-inch axle kit that includes idler hubs, such as one of the two kits shown on the linked page. These two 2K-rated axle kits include 5-on-4-1/2 hubs,…

The difference between load ranges is the plies, ply rating, and capacity. Going to a higher capacity or load range is fine so you can replace a load range C with a Load range D. Like you said, we have Loadstar ST185/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire - Load…

It actually matters greatly! Chrome is not all that corrosion resistant. Stainless steel on the other hand is light years ahead of chrome as far as corrosion resistance. Since you are at the Gulf Coast and salt water stainless steel is the way to go.…

Since your lug nuts are open there wouldn't be any possible issue using them with the Loadstar ST185/80R13 Tire #AM3S334 you referenced. We had one customer come back and say they needed deeper closed style lug nuts but since yours are open at…

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…

If you are needing the hub and drum assembly then you will want to go with the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly #8-201-5UC3-EZ but if you are just looking for an idler hub then you will want part #8-213-5UC1 instead. These come with the correct…
