What tires/specs did you go with? 205 or 215? Load C or D?

Nice, just pulled the trigger on these. Ignore the tire specs, thats a stock photo. I got them in 205/75/15 load D. Not the same as yours, but a huge improvement over the stock ones. On close inspection the old wheels had some nasty bends on the lips, and rusty, so off they go!

Those will look great! D range is all you really need. You’ll definitely notice an improvement. And I’m not sure what the heck the amazon photo is that I posted. That isn’t even on my camera roll!

I've got the same wheels on our trailer, albeit the 14" version. They are nice. Fairly easy to clean.

Got her backup on until the replacements get here in 4 days. It’s 20 years old and I had to super glue the valve stem back together, but she’s holdin’ air! Any wagers if she’ll hold for 4 days?? :lol:

Nah, it’s only got to go 300 yards round trip. Have some faith! My last boat had the wagon wheels, not a fan. I do like the white though. Maybe I’ll have the new wheels painted white.
