    Ranger wheel size

    I need to know if the Bullitt (sp) wheels are 17x7, or 17x9? Anyone know?

    Do you have a picture of the wheel you are talking about?

    Yours are the Challenger wheels, mine are the Bullets. Those are automobile tires. Is it a good idea to use those instead of trailer tires?

    There is no st tire made in 17"
    Load and speed rating of tire is well within specs.

    The Michelin's tow WAY better than the Kendas ever did.

    What's an st tire? And what exactly is the difference when towing?

    ST is the designation for trailer tires. There is none for 17" thus why Ranger fits the boats with Kenda Kenetica all season tires.

    I found them to simply be junk, they had vibrations at highway speeds, they wouldn't balance due to high/low spots in them with only 500 miles.

    The tires that I replaced them with don't vibrate at any speed, ride smoother and trailer tracks better.

    I run a Dill TPMS system, the Kendas psi and temperatures were more erratic than the Michelins which don't increase as high as the Kendas.

    You're absolutely right about the Kendas, One of mine had a really high/low spot! Wonder why Ranger would go with these low quality tires?

    I absolutely love the Kendas on my 2018 Z519 tandem axle; smoothest rolling trailer I’ve ever had [15 bass boats and counting]. Maybe the quality is erratic, or maybe I’m just lucky. If it’s the latter, you could fool me, because I always have stuff break that never broke for anyone else. Have pulled this trailer about 15,000 miles already, and the tires look and ride like new.

    You guys might want to take a really good look at them. I didn't know that one of mine had a big problem until the guy installing my brake pads noticed! He thought that maybe the belts inside had ruptured. I believe that if it had burst it would have destroyed my fenders at minimum.
