Trailer wheels tire options

[Jbunkley]

I currently have 205/74R14 tires and the chrome bullet hole wheels that came on my Triton trailer. What are some other sizes yall have swapped to that works? I want to bling it up a little lol

I swapped to a 15 inch wheel with a 215/65-15 tire.

It will likely ride better (bounce less) if you stick with a series 75 sidewall tire. If you move to a 15" wheel, you will likely have to move to a series 60-65 sidewall.

You can get good looking 14" wheels. You can stick with 205 tread width or move up to 215 to raise your load carrying capacity if that is needed or helpful.

ETrailer and others sell wheel/tire packages already mounted.

Whatever you do, Make sure that the tires diameter/width is very close to the same as the original because there is not much room for increase. Also the tires you chose should have the same or higher load range as originals.

Good luck.

I purchased these wheels from Amazon and these tires from Walmart. I brought the wheels to Walmart and they mounted the tires on the wheels for me. The wheel model is 14 by Ion so it does look a little confusing on the Amazon item. The link is for 15 inch wheels. The tires I used have a load index of 96 which is 1,565 lbs per tire for a total of 6,260 lbs.

Thanks. There were not a lot of tire options that kept the same height as my previous tires when I had 14 inch wheels but I do have confidence in Hankook tires. I have had several sets of their tires on full size trucks in the past. One positive in my opinion is the size I am running is just slightly wider which looks a little better to me without being so wide they rub on the fenders. I believe they are 10mm wider total which doesn’t seem like much but it is noticeable to me.

Might also look at their LT (light truck) tire
I got tired of wearing out the name brand ST tires and have been very pleased with the wear on these hankook LT's

The Skeeter is clean with the new wheels.

While I plan to keep my 14" wheels as long as possible, if I had to go up a size, I would go with a 15" with no less than a 60-65 ratio sidewall to help cushion the ride. Low profile tires have a rough ride, and the wheels are more likely to get damaged from potholes and curb rash.
