Is There a Tire Shorter for 10" Wheels Than My Current 20.5x8-10 Tire

Question:

I have a trailer with a 20.5 x 8-10 tire. Its a little to tall vertically not too wide for the trailer well. What is the next tire size down thats a little shorter ? Thanks

I may have a solution for you to put a smaller tire on, but the smallest tire for 10" wheels we've got available will also be roughly 20" tall; the # AM1HP54 you were looking at has a diameter of 20.6", so it's really the same diameter of those 20.5x8-10 tires but slightly less wide-which doesn't seem to be the issue.

You might be able to go down to a smaller wheel like an 8" wheel to find a smaller tire. Something like the Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Tire with 8" Wheel and 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern # AM30155 might work for you and has a diameter/height of 18". The capacity on a tire this size is the main concern, since it's only 1075-lbs per tire, which may not be able to handle your trailer.

If you'd like to try to go down to a smaller tire and your trailer doesn't weigh more than around 2000-lbs, let me know what the bolt pattern of your wheel is and I can see what we can find for you.
