I have another option for you, but unfortunately we do not have any locking lug nuts that fit the Demco Spare Tire Carrier # DM15853-52 you were looking at. This carrier has threaded studs that are 1/2" in diameter with fine threads which are different than standard 1/2" x 20 studs used on a trailer so a standard lugnut will not work.

To lock you spare tire to the carrier I recommend using the Spare Tire Lock # FSTL0603 has a tab that gets installed behind the nut and then the cover will lock on to this tab keeping it from being able to be removed.

I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

The Demco #DM15853-52 has 1/2" x 1-1/4" grade 5 bolt with fine threads (.50NF) so you'll want to use 1/2" nuts with a fine thread to secure your tires.

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…

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 11

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
