Will The ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" Black Mod Wheel Replace 255/45R18 Boat Mate Trailer?
Question:
Would this tire and wheel setup work for a 2015 boat mate dual axle trailer? It currently has 255 45 R18 and I’m looking to go with a better, easier to find tire

The Kenda Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Black Mod Wheel # AM32424 may work for your 2015 Boat Mate tandem axle trailer but you will need to check a few things. First this wheel has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern which you will need to ensure fits your hub. The tire itself is rated for up to 2,150lbs each or 8,600lbs for all 4 tires. You will need to ensure this is enough capacity for your boat and trailer.
The ST205/75R15 is only 0.1" taller than your 255/45R18 while being 1.9" narrower so you should not have any fitment issues as long as your wheel doesn't has a lot of offset. If you do have a lot of offset you may need wheel spacer or different wheel.
