    13" tires on a tandem axle with a 20' glass bassboat???

    Anybody had any experience with 13's on a trailer/boat that big? I've always had 14's or 15's on a trailer/boat combination that size. Thoughts on this, safe, wear & etc...

    If rated for the load, why not?

    +1. Rim diameter does not matter only tire load rating.

    I have 13” tires on my tandem carrying a 22’ Cape
    Horn Bay boat. Look for Load D tires. Kendstar and Carlisle make them.
