Re: Trailer Tires
What tires/specs did you go with? 205 or 215? Load C or D?

Re: Trailer Tires
I actually went a ways up. 225/75/15 and Load range E. Believe me when I tell you, they do NOT squat one bit.akorcovelos wrote: Fri Jul 10, 2020 12:25 pmWhat tires/specs did you go with? 205 or 215? Load C or D?

Re: Trailer Tires
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!shrfdeputy wrote: Fri Jul 10, 2020 12:32 pmI actually went a ways up. 225/75/15 and Load range E.

Re: Trailer Tires
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!akorcovelos wrote: Fri Jul 10, 2020 12:50 pmNice, just pulled the trigger on these. Ignore the tire specs, thats a stock photo. I got them in 205/75/15 load D.

Re: Trailer Tires
I've got the same wheels on our trailer, albeit the 14" version. They are nice. Fairly easy to clean.akorcovelos wrote: Fri Jul 10, 2020 12:50 pmNice, just pulled the trigger on these.

Re: Trailer Tires
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??

Re: Trailer Tires
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.Big Block Power wrote: Sat Jul 11, 2020 6:29 amShe will hold.
