Where can I find a good deal on a single axle trailer tire size 175/80D13? One of mine has some serious cracks on the sidewall. Might be fine for a trip to a local ramp, but I would be a bit worried it might blow on a long haul.
Dont really need the wheel, just a tire would do. Thanks
hmmm, Do you shop anywhere else?
Im thinking Northern tool probably has great price too…
Fishing on the bottom is like having sex with the lights turned off. It feels good… but I wanna see it.
Lights On!
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of dust with a rod in one hand and a beer in the other,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming…

I had a flat the other day after a good trout day,thank God I had a spare,13",radial,new tire and galvanized rim,149.00.Got a bias tire from local guy,he told me radial will dry rot quicker than bias,that just don’t seem right,what do ya’ll think,dmiller
Whatever you have, both should be the same on the same axle. If you run more miles, go with radial, if you don’t, stay with the cheaper bias. I don’t believe one will rot before the other, but don’t really know. Bias will usually not last the same number of miles.
The bias ply tires are better for most small boat trailers with single axils and no brakes. The sides are more rigid and they don’t sway as much side to side. They will probably dry rot and crack before you wear them out.
Multiple axils cause them to twist and slide a little in turns. This will wear them faster then radials as will breaks. I never want to have them on a car or truck again, but on a trailer I would rather give a little wear to avoid sway.
O. J. Stroble in Summerville has a good assortment of trailer tires on rims in their Summerville warehouse on 17-A.
