How to Find Correct Replacement Wheels and Hubs for Trailer  

My recommended first step for you to take is to determine what tire size you would need. If you check the plate on the trailer frame near the coupler there will the VIN, axle capacities, as well as the trailer tire size and Load Range recommended.…

A 205/75R15 size trailer tire has an overall diameter of 27-inches when inflated and will fit on four different widths of rim: 5-inch, 5-1/2-inch, 6-inch and 6-1/2-inch. Tire sizes of 13-inches and larger will fit on multiple rim widths. The linked…

The difference between load ranges varies based on the tire size and brand. When comparing two tires of the same size and brand, a load range D tire will always have a greater weight capacity and psi rating than a load range C. However, when…

When people go to a larger diameter wheel on their trailer they usually do it so they can use tires with higher capacities or they want to increase the overall diameter of the wheel/tire so that they can increase the ground clearance of the trailer.…

The R and the D in a trailer tire size stand for radial and bias-ply. A radial tire flexes more than a bias tire, giving it better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread wear. A radial tire will normally run cooler than a bias ply tire,…

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

Trailer wheel bearings are specific to the spindle that is installed on the axle that is on your trailer. You will need to safely support the trailer, remove the wheel and tire, remove the grease cap, remove the cotter pin and washer that secures the…
