Can 175/80-13 Radial Tires be Used on the Same Rim as 175/80-13 Bias Tires

Question:

I currently have Loadstar K550 tires ST175/80 D13. A bias tire I am looking to replace with Karrier ST175/80R13. Item #10210. A radial tire. Should the same rim be compatible with the change. Looking to replace an aliners standard tires with an upgrade. Thanks

The only difference between your current Loadstar tires and the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10210 is going to be bias vs. radial and potentially a different load rating. When it comes to size, these tires will be the same and will fit on the same rims you already have.

The Karrier # AM10210 has a maximum load of 1,650 lbs at 70 psi and a max speed of 81 mph. This radial ply tire is designed for trailers towed on the highway giving you longer tread life and improved steering at higher speeds. It comes with a 1-year worry-free guarantee and 5-year limited warranty.
