Option to Replace 155/80R13 Trailer Tire on Jet Ski Trailer
Question:
What can be used to replace a ST155/80R13 tire for a jet ski trailer? I understand that that size is no longer available. Fitting the larger tires makes the clearance between the fender and tire quite close. Thanks

The closest to a 155/80R13 trailer tire is a 175/80R13 tire. The 175/80R13 is 24.1" in diameter and 7" wide compared to the 22.8" diameter and 6.1" width of your current 155/80R13 tire. This means it will put your tire about 5/8" closer to the fender, since you were worried about the added height. If you have that much room to spare (you want about 2" or so of clearance), you can use the following:
- Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" Galvanized Wheel # AM31952
The # AM31952 is for a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern so just ensure you have that. It is the most common so it is likely, but you do want to verify. Then if you need lug nuts use the Trailer Wheel Lug Nut # 12CLN.
