Can Trailer with 10 inch Bias Ply Tires be Converted to Radial  

Question:

I have a pontoon boat on an Aluminum Trailer King dual axle trailer. I currently have 205/60/10 Bias tires. One blew out recently. We travel on the highway only and I want to convert all for wheels to radial. Is this possible? If so, I have a 22 foot Bennington Pontoon.

In the 10 inch trailer tire size there are only bias ply options available. To switch to radial you'd need to bump up to the 12 inch size which would require a new wheel as well like the part # AM31202 for if you have a 5 lug bolt pattern or # AM35351DX for if you have a 4 lug bolt pattern. You'd only lose about 1/2 inch of fender clearance going with the larger size.

The pilot hole is obviously bigger on the 12 inch wheel. Will this be a problem?

As long as your trailer wheels mount by placing them on the lugs and then securing them with lug nuts you will be good to go even with the larger pilot hole.
