WE used FORD 16 inch 5 lug 4 1/2 BC aluminum wheels from a 4x4 Ranger or Explorer late 90's early 2000"s years then put 225 75R 16 tires load range F or G truck tires( NO GYEAR) never had any problems --- just keep an eye on inflation pressure and towing speeds you will be OK

Discount tire online...

Free shipping

Deals often on various tires

Nobody selling cheaper.

I put tires on my pickup, trailer and motorhome and all from Discount Tire.

Local places we buy tires from just not as good deals or selection of tires...

"Based on industry standards, if tires with the ST designation are used at speeds between 66 and 75 mph, it is necessary to increase cold inflation pressures by 10 psi above the recommended pressure for the load. Do not exceed the maximum pressure for the wheel. If the max pressure for the wheel prohibits the increase of air pressure, then the maximum speed must be restricted to 65 mph."

Always overinflate on days when the temperature of the road is very hot.

Bob, it would be money well spent to upgrade to a 16in. tire. There are so many more options and worth the peace of mind.

I put the new Hercules H901 on my ATC. Made a huge difference in how the trailer pulls. They are load range F and have a speed rating of 75MPH.
The look like a Tractor Trailer Steer Tire.

I replaced the cheap Westlakes that came on the trailer. The Hercules weighed 22lbs more for the same size tire. Sidewall was 2x as thick as well. So far around 1500miles on them. Best looking trailer tire I have seen.
