I would love to recommend a brand of tire to use on your 1997 Starcraft Classic Series Constellation 1021 but I don't have access to any information that tells me what size you need. The best way to obtain this info on an older trailer is to replace the tires with the same size you have now. The size is listed on the sidewall and should be in the following format, STXXX/XX-XX. Once you can provide me with this info I would be glad to recommend an exact option.

I have attached the list of sizes we offer for this tire.

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

Answer 6

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

For sag from towing a trailer the best recommendation I can make is actually a weight distribution system. Suspension enhancement will help level your truck while towing. But the advantage to a weight distribution system is that it levels the vehicle…

Hey Colin, Both the TruXedo Sentry CT Hard Tonneau Cover #TX1597716 and BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover #BAK39ZR are essentially the same cover with just some minor aesthetic differences. Both operate exactly the same and sit on the bed the same…

Answer 12

Since both a ST145/R12 size tire, like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM10130, and a 5.30-12 size tire, like the Kenda K353 #AM10068, fit a 12 inch wheel, a ST145/R12 size tire can replace a 5.30-12 size tire. Keep in mind that these tires do have…
