Question

Question:

13 inch tires are kind of hard to find I hear stories about the small tires and blowouts. What is the best tire you would recommend for even though my tires still look good I hear you should change them out every couple years

The best trailer tire we offer for a 13 inch wheel is the Westlake ST175/80R13 part # LHWL101. This is made from the highest quality materials, has a higher speed rating at 75 mph, comes with a complimentary roadside assistance program for 2 years, and has great weight capacities of 1,360 lbs at 50 psi.

Most trailer tires do need to be replaced every few years. We recommend replacing the tires before they reach six years of age.

The closest trailer tire size we have to 235/75-15 is the size 225/75-15 like the part #LHWL304 which is a great option. This has a capacity of 2,830-lb max load at 80 psi and a speed rating of 75 mph. This tire comes with complimentary roadside…

You can pretty easily go from a 205/75-14 to a 15 inch tire size like 205/75-15 like with the #AM32395 without clearance issues. This will give you a slightly larger wheel and tire which will have a higher weight capacity. So you might gain a slight…

The 205/75-15 Tire and Wheel Combo, #AM32395, is 8.1 inches wide and 27.3 inches tall. An F78-14 tire and wheel will be about the same width but it will be 1 inch shorter. I have included a link to a tire size FAQ article that should help.

Answer 6

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 8

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

Answer 9

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

Good morning, Cliff. As of today (3/27/24) we are expecting the #KE33JR tire/wheel combo to be in stock in about 2 weeks. Hopefully this means we can take our own pictures and put them on the site within maybe about 3-4 weeks from now. What I can…

Answer 11

Karrier and Loadstar are two different brand names used by Kenda. There's no difference in quality or function between the two brand names. For a ST175/80-13 Radial trailer tire in load range D, I'd recommend part #AM10210 if you're…

Answer 12

Yes, the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire #AM10140 referenced in your question will fit the same 12 inch wheel with a 4 inch width that your existing 4.80-12 size tires are mounted to. Just note that the ST145/R12 tire will be…
