Question:

I have flipped the axels on a 92 Nomad travel trailer. With 2000 lb axels, can I change from 13inch to 14 inch tires ? Thank you

To go from a 13 inch trailer tire size to a 14 will take up about an inch of your current wheel well clearance. If you have room for that then what you are wanting to do is very possible. Since you "flipped" the axle this shouldn't be a problem at all.

For a wheel and tire with a tire size of ST205/75R14 installed on it you'd want the part # TTWA14RWS which comes with a wheel with the bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inch. Overall diameter of this trailer tire is 26.14 inches.

Answer 1

The closest size tire that we have to the Tow-Master F65-14ST that you referenced is a size 205/75R14. Since these tires are not exactly the same size you will either need to find a direct Tow-Master F65-14ST for a spare or I recommend that you…

The F65-14 is an old size designation that isn't really used anymore. The replacement for the F65-14ST tire you mentioned would be ST205/65-14, which, like you said, is kind of an oddball size. The closest match we carry is ST205/75-14. The…

The main difference between a ST205/75-14 size tire like the Contender #AC14R45SM and a ST215/75-14 size tire like the Taskmaster Provider Item #TTWTR21514 is that the larger number is a slightly larger size. The 205 has a section width of…

The most similar size to a 175/80-13 in a 14-inch diameter wheel size will be a 205/75-14 which will be right at 2 inches taller in diameter. For a wheel and tire in that size I would recommend the Provider part #TTWA14RWS. This has a white spoke…

Answer 8

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…
