Will 175/80-13 Wheels and Tires Fit On an EZ Loader EZB 12-14 1000 Trailer?
Question:
Can I fit an ST175/80D 13 tire and wheel combination on my EZ Loader EZB 12-14 1000 trailer? It originally came with a 12 inch wheel.

You will most likely need to modify your EZ Loader EZB 12-14' 1000 trailer as it comes with a 4.80-12 wheel and tire like the Kenda # AM30590. This tire is 20.5" tall and 4.8" wide. The Loadstar ST175/80D13 # AM31245 you found is 24" tall and 6.6" wide. This will require an additional 1.75" of vertical clearance and 0.9" of additional clearance between the tire side wall and any part of the frame or wheel well the tire may hit.
If you can identify the axle your trailer has you may be able to install a Torsion Axle Lift like # K71-723-01 which fits on Dexter #9 Torflex axles. Then you will only need to verify if you have the additional clearance for the tire sidewalls. I recommend having 1" of clearance between your tire sidewall and 3" of vertical clearance to ensure the tire is not damaged while driving.
