I spoke with our tire expert here at etrailer and he said that the Kumho 195R14 tires can be used on the 14 Inch Lionshead Aluminum Split Spoke Trailer Wheel, # LHSJ211G.

I recommend using the Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire #TT48012C on your jet ski trailer. This will upgrade you to a radial tire which will perform much better on the road and give you a longer tread life. I do not like going to a larger tire…

You can upgrade to larger tires but you will need larger wheels and also ensure you have the right amount of clearance. With trailer tires, the general rule of thumb is you want at least 3" of clearance from the top of the tire to your fender…

You actually should shoot for 4-1/2" of clearance between the top of your tire and the bottom of the fender well. This accounts for flex in your suspension. Unless 2,280 lbs is the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) of your trailer then you need…
