    2019 Ranger RT188 Trailer Tire Help

    I am buying a RT 188 tomorrow and the owner says the boat does not have a spare tire. Could someone please tell me the tire and wheel size to include how many lugs and spread 4.5 I think.

    I think the tire size is ST 185/80R13 but I have a 178 not 188. I am not sure about the rim but I think you can get them from etrailer

    This is the wheel. I have one that was removed from my previous trailer that I would sell for $30 but fear the freight cost would be too great to make this a reasonable option.

    Thanks everyone. Like I said in my post I am picking up the boat tomorrow and dont have time to order, I need it now. I will be driving about 200 miles back home with the boat and scared to tow without a spare. I had three flats in one trip 2 years ago on my Gambler. First tire went flat, changed out to spare and it went down within 10 miles. When leaving the parking lot at the ramp I heard a strange sound and it was the other tire starting to seperate. I will be stopping at a Ranger dealer to transfer the warranty but they were not very friendly on the phone and I know they would want way to much for a spare.

    You should be able to pick up a tire mounted on the correct sized wheel at any marina, BPS, Cabelas and probably Wally World. As posted by Bill Reynolds, 175/80R13, 5 lugs

    Safe travels tomorrow and enjoy the new rig. They are a great boat to fish from.
