Spare Tire Recommendation for a Trailer with ST175/80D13 Size Wheel and Tire
Question:
Can a 5.3-12 tire and wheel be used as a spare for a ST175/80D13?
asked by: Ryan
Helpful Expert Reply:
The difference in the overall diameters of the two tire sizes you listed is big enough that I would not recommend the use of a 5.3-12 tire in place of a ST175/80D13.
The 5.3-12 will be 21.9 inches overall, whereas the ST175/80D13 measures 24.1 inches. In an emergency situation this would work as a spare, but only if it was the only option.
If you are looking for a spare you would need to match the size that you currently have. For that I would recommend the # AM31985 if you have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern or a part # AM3S120 if you have a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern.
I attached an FAQ on determining bolt patterns if you are unsure what you have.
