What Size Tires and Wheels are Needed to Upgrade From 20.5 x 8 x 10
Question:
I currently have an old double pwc trailer that has 20.5x8x10 wheels and tires - I want to change them to a modern double trailer wheel and tire size - what would be the size needed to change?

I can tell you that the correct tire size to upgrade from 20.5 x 8 x 10 is going to be 205/65-10. However, the correct wheel is going to depend on what bolt pattern you need. You can use the help article I've linked to determine what bolt pattern is right for you.
Once you have the right bolt pattern, the next step will be to decide what load range you need. For example, a load range C tire has a maximum load of 1,100 lbs per tire at 50 psi. For a PWC trailer, you will likely want a tire with a galvanized wheel to resist against corrosion such as the Kenda # AM3H400.
I have attached a link to each of our tire and wheel combinations that feature a 205/65-10 tire.
