where is a good source to get replacement 16" wheel and tire to replace 15" wheel/tire st225/75/15 range e, 6 lug axles on 24' enclosed? thanks jamie

Re: enclosed trailer with 15" tires?
 

Tredit, they have several locations around the country and their prices are fair. I purchased my two matching spares there for my new trailer back in 2010.

I found some E rated 225-75-15's trailer tires last year. I didn't even know they existed until I saw them.
Best investment yet for my trailer.

I love the way the tires stand straight up....none of that bow-out at the bottom like a radial.

Aubrey, I like your "home-brew" approach...wish I was half as handy as you are!

Just be CAREFUL!

Wondering...on your trailer..if tires are bias-ply...and the load rating?

How much pressure in them....also your normal towing speed?

Re: enclosed trailer with 15" tires?
 

well, SS, I'm not very good at making money, or managing things, but I can design stuff.
Not really "home brew". More like "logical, purpose-built"
Tires are 205 70 14 radials. 44 PSI max, which I run at about 40. I believe they have a load capacity of 1400 pounds each. Weight on the 4 of them, depending on what is on the trailer, varies between 4000 - 4700 pounds.
Normal towing speed on the highway, is 65-75 MPH.
This unit has been trouble free since 1992.

Hey....it ain't fancy...but it works! Not bad!

Re: enclosed trailer with 15" tires?
 

A lot better than the belly button, fit-all trailers that you buy !
naah, it aint fancy

Re: enclosed trailer with 15" tires?
 

Nice!!! My open trailer's not a fit-all....built in a metal-fab shop...ages ago...bed
height OVER 12"....7:00 x15 old-school bias truck tires....axles not offset to the rear
a bit...as they should have been...

A real "white-knuckler" roller-coaster ride everytime...towed with a 1/2-ton Suburban!

Hopefully to be phased-out soon....

BTW....are you shooting for some 10.90's later this years?

Re: enclosed trailer with 15" tires?
 

Just got got my new clutch from Advanced. Pick up the block in a couple days.
We'll see. My "adjusted" cam profile, HOPEFULLY allows the intake valve train to be in control. If I do manage to make a fast pass or two, I doubt that it would be "official", because to my knowledge, there's only one more available Stock / Super Stock race out west here this year... and it's next weekend in Mission. Can't make that one.

BTW, my old contraption is definitely not a roller coaster ride ! In fact, with the loaded trailer, my truck is way better to drive. Running through that highway on the east side of Golden BC, is something that I look forward to !
