Trailer Tires

[Crob83]

Hello, have a question. I got a set of free radials, rims and tires from a co-worker, but they are 13s instead of 14s. The tires are the same size as my current ones just on a 13inch rim. Would these work on my single axle trailer?

check the load capacity

If the bolt pattern on the wheels is the same, then yes you could use them.

But, make sure the weight rating of the tires is sufficient for the weight of the boat & trailer.

Also if the numbers on the sidewall of tires are exactly the same except for the rim size, then the new tires are actually slightly smaller.

Yes the bolt pattern is exactly the same, and they came off of a trailer with a boat at least as heavy as mine. I will check the load capacity, thank you. Wasn't sure if I could go down to a 13", due to the brakes and all that
