Replacement Tire And Rim For A 2018 Aliner Scout

Question:

Just bought a 2018 Aliner scout. The tires look great but are dated 2016. Is it time to replace? Looking at Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13inch White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D Item # AM31985 Is this an appropriate choice? Also, with after market tires do I use tire pressure written on trailer or tire sidewall? Thanks.

Yes, The Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire # AM31985 is a good replacement tire for your 2018 Aliner Scout. Tires should be replaced at 6-7 years of age regardless if there is still tread on the tire.

This tire has a bolt patter of 5 on 4-1/2 inches and has a maximum load rating of 1,650 pounds at 70 psi. The tire has a ply rating of 8 and a maximum speed rating of 81 mph. You would check the pressure of after market tires on the tires sidewall.
