Replacement Wheel and Tire Combo for a 20.5 x 8 - 10 Wheel and Tire on a Motorcycle Trailer

Question:

I have an existing small motorcycle trailer and am looking to replace the wheels/tires. The existing tires read 20.5 x 8-10. The diameter of the rim seems to be just slightly less than 11. Can you advise which of your wheel/tire combos will work for this? Also, do you sell any sort of bracket or accessory that allows for stowing a 5-gallon gas can on the trailer?

The wheel in your existing 20.5 x 8 - 10 wheel and tire combination is a 10 inch wheel with a 20.5 inch diameter and 8 inch wide tire, see link. This size is comparable to the metric size 205/65-10 trailer tire and wheel combination like the 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10 inch White Wheel, # AM3H370.

You will need to determine the trailers gross axle weight rating or the gross trailer weight of your trailer, loaded and ready to travel, to select the correct load range tire. In this size we have load range C tires, that have a capacity of 1,100 pounds, load range D tires that have a capacity of 1,330 pounds and load range E tires, that have a capacity of 1,650 pounds each. Add two tire capacities together to match your trailers axle capacity or gross weight.

For carrying your gas can we have an option. If your trailer is an enclosed trailer the 5 Gallon Gas Can Rack for Enclosed Trailers, # RA-1L, would make a good choice and should work with your 5 gal can.
