Trailer Tire and Wheel Recommendation for Boat Trailer Needing B78-13 Mounted on 4 Lug Wheels

Question:

I need to replace trailer tires on a 1961 boat trailer it has 4 - B78-13 tires on the trailer. 4 hole rims I would like to get 4 new tires already mounted to replace as there is no place near where the trailer is to remove and replace just the tires. What options can you provide? Thanks

The modern tire size equivalent to B78-13 is the size 175/80-13 which we do carry mounted on a rim with a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern. For that we have the Loadstar ST175/80R13 mounted on galvanized wheel part # AM3S130 which would be a great option. The tire has a capacity of 1,360-lb maximum load at 50 psi and an 81 mph speed rating.
