Boat Trailer Tires And Wheels

I have a 20 ft Allison race boat and just was wondering if anyone had any luck with buying trailer tires and aluminum wheels online, or did you find a better deal elsewhere (and if so, where?) I'm tight on money! They are size ST225/75R15
Hey guys, the best deal I could find was $146.79 per trailer tire wheel combo. @ http://www.trailertirestore.com. Thanks for the answers!

Is the boat heavy ? (3000 lbs ) car tires will not hold up. sidewalls are not strong enough. Make sure they are trailer tires

I have 10 inch Mini wheels on my boat trailer and am having trouble finding tyres at a reasonable cost. Will any other 4 stud wheels, maybe 13 inch, bolt on to my existing hubs?

Sometimes the fenders can be adjusted if you need more room for the taller wheels.

The 10" wheels were meant to give your rig a lower profile for whatever reason.

I think that it would be a good idea to go to the biggest wheel that will fit.

This would mean less chance of bearing failure and easier retrieval out of the water at rough ramps.

I agree with 45 Cal. Any 4 lug wheel should fit. Wal Mart has the best price on galvanized ones with the tire.

My boat trailer tires are wearing heavily on the inside edge on both tires. Almost as if the axle is bending in the middle and causing the wheels to bend in at hte top and out at the bottom. What could be the cause of this problem? How can I correct it. I just boght this boat/trailer, but did not notice this wheel wear problem before.

It is very possible the boat is too heavy for the trailer. At the front of the trailer is a tag that will tell you the max capacity the trailer can carry. Get the weight of the boat and see if is close to the max capacity you will be over it by the time you add fuel and gear. If this is the case you will need a new trailer or contact the trailer manufacture to see if it can be upgraded if the frame will support it. If you bought this new from a dealer, take it back and let them fix the problem.

Looking for a source to get some wheels for a boat trailer. The trailer is an old boat trailer and has just a spindle with wheels that are attached by bearings and a large nut to hold them on. The wheel rims have over the years rusted and need to be replaced. Any clues on where to get these wheels and tires?

Visit your local marine dealer or stores like West Marine or Boaters World. You may want to look at those bearings too, they may need replacement. Bearing failure is a big reason you see boat trailers broke down, as they lock up when the get too hot.
If you are going to use the trailer any amount you may want to think about a complete hub replacement.
