Will the Demco Spare Tire Carrier for up to 4 Trailer Tongue Work With 16 Wheel

Question

Question:

Hello...I have a 31inch tire mounted on a 16inch wheel, and would like to purchase a tongue-mounted tire mount for my trailer 265/70R16. Will the Demco DM15851-76 tongue mount work for my tire? The bolt pattern shouldnt be a problem...Im just not sure about the diameter of the tire/wheel being able to fit.

The Demco Spare Tire Carrier for up to 4" Trailer Tongue part # DM15851-76 has no wheel size limit, just a bolt pattern limit of no larger than 8 on 6-1/2" so you'll be good to go with a 265/70-16

Answer 2

The Demco #DM15851-76 Spare Tire Carrier you'd looked at wouldn't work for you, as the mounting plate for the tire wouldn't fit inside the wheel. I'd recommend using a simple U-bolt style locking spare tire carrier like #FETCLB0201.…

Answer 7

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…
