Galvanized Wheel and Spare Tire for a Boat Trailer
Question:
I want to purchase a spare tire for my boat trailer. Product Code: AM32161 fit the bill as I need load range D and fit the budget. But when I click on the item for more info I see: is this right for you? Product Expert Mary E says: No, if you: Tow a boat trailer to the lake or ocean. Is there a specific reason for not recommending it on a boat trailer? Im thinking that it is about the tire being submerged. If so my thinking is that this is a spare. It may get submerged once or twice if it has to be used, but more likely not. Thoughts on this?

The reason it says not to put it on a boat trailer is because the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire item # AM32161 you referenced is on a steel wheel. For a spare tire that is better suited for a boat trailer I recommend the Loadstar ST205/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire with 14" Galvanized Wheel item # AM3S450. Aside from the load rating and it being a galvanized wheel you are looking at an identical tire and wheel combo. This would be a better spare tire for your boat and it is a little cheaper as well.
