Spare Tire in Size 225/75-15 for Trailer
Question:
Hi. I have a 2015 Shasta 16 Airflyte Travel Trailer copy of 1961 model with whitewall tires and electric brakes. Tires are P225/75R15, 35 PSI. Rims are 15X6JJ, 5 lugs on 4.50. I would like to have one plain ordinary spare wheel and tire just to be able to reach a garage in case of flat tire. What options do you have for this?

For a spare that matches your tire size and wheel bolt pattern the Karrier # AM32459 would be a really great option. It's a great value wheel and tire would work great in event you needed it. Now the other issue I see that you are using a passenger vehicle tire on your trailer which isn't the safest option. You really should go with a tire that is rated for use on a trailer so that you prevent premature failure and possibly cause other issues.
The Westlake tire part # LHWL304 would be a great option to change what's on your trailer to. It's a high quality tire with a great speed rating and warranty.
