Can Tire Load Ratings Be Different From One Trailer Wheel to the Other?
Question:
I currently have an Eco Trail tire 4.8 - 12 on my trailer for a Sea Doo GTX300 that weighs around 900 pounds. One of the tires went flat so I am trying to find a tire with matching silver rim. The tires currently installed are a Load range B. I am only seeing the silver rim option on your website for the same tire but a load range āCā. Can I have a load range B on one side and a load range C on the other? If not, can I have mismatching style/brand trailer tires/rim? My driving with this trailer is about 200 miles at highway speeds a few times a summer. Thank you.

We do offer the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # TA79RR separate from the Wheel and Tire # TA96RR. This will allow you to mount the Load Range B # AM10060 tire on the Wheel # TA79RR. It is best to not mix and match tires when it comes to size and load rating as this could have adverse effects on the trailer ride quality and tracking behind your tow vehicle.
