On a 13 x 4-1/2 inch wheel such as # AM20202, you can use tire size 175/80-13 or size 185/80-13. I have included links to the tires we have in each of these sizes. I have also included a link to our help article on trailer tires for you to view.

Thanks for that photo, and we do have an option for a ST175/80R13 trailer tire and wheel in chrome. From your photo it looks like you have the common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, but I do highly recommend verifying this if you aren't…

I don't know what "calls for" means but using a 13x4.5 wheel instead of a 13x5 inch wheel will give you 1/4 inch more clearance on either side regarding just the wheel portion, but they will both fit the same sizes of tire.…

As long as your current lug nuts have a 60-Degree cone, like the CE Smith #CE11051, then you are definitely good to use them. This is pretty standard as well so this is most likely what you have. Just as a side note, if you have not decided on which…

Most people run a standard style center cap with the HWT Wheel part #AM22323HWTB you referenced like in the picture I attached. For a center cap that would fit that wheel the part #319EZ would be a great option.

Answer 6

You can certainly go with a larger wheel/tire combo, like the #AM3S050. This is a 175/80-13 tire on a white spoke wheel, which is about 3.5 inches taller and around 2 inches wider than your existing tires. Because we're talking a circular object,…

The first and easiest thing you should check is that the trailer is being towed level. If the trailer is nose high or low that can cause the equalizers to not sit level. You will need to select the correct rise/drop ball mount so that the trailer…

Answer 10

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

Answer 11

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

To find the load capacity for your axle you should look on the trailer VIN plate or sticker that lists the VIN number. The weight rating of the axle should be listed on that same plate or sticker. Also, the axle could have a tag or plate on it that…
