Expert Reply:

The 7.00-15LT tires you have on your 1978 Avion trailer have a 29.4" diameter, have a load range that should be in the 2,400 lb vicinity and fit wheels that are 5", 5-1/2" and 6". For comparable tires I recommend going with a trailer tire that is size 225/75-15; these tires are 28.4" in diameter, a width of 8.9" and fit 6" wide wheels.

A great option is the Karrier # AM10256 which fits 15" x 6" wheels and has a load range of D, with a capacity of 2,540 lbs at 65 psi. This is a radial tire which is going to give you the best ride and overall performance. The Karrier tires are very highly rated by our customers who have used them, with well over 500 reviews giving them a nearly unanimous 5-star rating, as you can see on the product page.

The load rating for the aluminum trailer wheel part #AM22329 that you referenced is 1,900 lbs per wheel. I am not sure what the weight of your trailer is so it's harder to determine if that would be enough. Most 14 inch trailer tire sizes have…

The Timbren Silent Ride #TSR14KT01 can actually be installed by welding it on or bolting it on. You could do both welding and bolt it on, but that is not really necessary. I am not sure of the bracket to move it around on the frame, but they do have…

That certainly does appear to be an oil bath hub. The seal number is associated with 1956 to 1959 Studebakers as far as I could find. It looks like the dimensions of the seal are 1.875 inches inner diameter and 3 inches outer diameter. We have one…

You can install different hubs with your preferred 5-on-4-1/2-inch bolt pattern on your existing Dexter axles so long as the new hubs use the same bearing set as the originals. This will ensure that the new hubs, such as Dexter #84545UC1-EZ that you…
