Do Trailer Wheels Need Replacing When Tires are Replaced
Question:
I am looking for tires for my dump trailer and would like to know if its better to change the tire and the rim or just change out the tire. In looking for tires I mostly find the tire and the rim sold together. On my trailer I have the white steel rims and they look fine. Thanks for your help

If your current rims are still in good condition, you may certainly keep them and simply purchase the replacment tires and have them mounted at your favorite local shop. The Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E
Item # AM10295 you'd looked at is an excellent tire that can fit a 16-inch rim that's 6, 6-1/2, 7 or 7-1/2 inches in width.
