Recommended Trailer Tires Wider Than Current 185/80R13
Question:
Hello First off I love what you guys do here! Im looking to install wider tires on my 2018 Shorelandr PWC2413, it currently has ST185/80R13-C tire and I dont think they will move well on the beach sand. So what width widest possible tires and wheels would you reccommend for my trailer?

Thanks for the kind words and we love that you love what we do!
The issue is that you have wheels with a 13 inch diameter and if you wanted to use tire wider than your current 185/80-13 you will also need to get new wheels. If you have enough room in your trailer's wheel well you would be able to do this, though you do need to know your bolt pattern. If you are unsure of this you can take a look at the help article I added which will explain how to find it.
Even if you went up from 13 inch diameter wheels to 14 inch wheels you could still get a tire wider than the 7.3 inch width of your current tires.
For example the Karrier # AM32181 is a 14 inch white wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern that has ST215/75R14 tires which are 8.5 inches wide and 26.7 inches in diameter when inflated. These tires, which are a load range C with a maximum capacity of 1,870 lbs at 50 psi, are 2 inches larger in diameter and 1.2 inches wider than your current tires.
If you let me know what bolt pattern you have or wanted other recommendations I would be happy to help.
