Trailer Wheels and ST185/80R Tires for 1973 Compact Trailer

Question:

I have a Compact II, made in 1973. It has ST185/80R 13 Load C tires. I am looking for 2 wheels, 4 lugs, measurement is 4, in aluminum, I think. Ive considered just painting the rims but I think aluminum would look good. If I paint them I would still need to find 2 hub caps as they are missing. No luck finding hub caps that would fit. Thanks for your help.

We off trailer tires individually, trailer wheels individually as well as pre-mounted wheel/tire combinations. All are shown on the linked pages. We do not have a pre-mounted combination wheel/tire item in both your tire size and with an aluminum wheel but these are of course available as separate items you can have mounted together locally.

I also linked our page for wheel parts, like center caps such as # 319EZ which fits a 3.19=-inch wheel pilot hole.

The tire we offer in your size 185/80-13 is the Kenda Load Range D bias ply tire # AM1ST79 which is rated for 1710-lbs at 65-psi pressure. This tire carries an M speed rating, meaning it can be safely operated up to 81-mph.

I included two helpful articles on trailer tires that may be of interest. Be sure to ALWAYS 1) inflate your trailer tires to their full rated cold psi pressure as noted on the tire sidewall; 2) operate them within their speed rating; and 3) operate them within their rated weight capacity.
