As a point of interest I got 13" trailer rims with Ford centres on my new trailer then changes the tyre on my Ford 14" spare to a low profile one so it still fits under the trailer mudguard.
Saves me carrying 2 spares. -------------------- SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

TIANFU brand probably Chinese.
155 R13 LT I'm guessing the LT is light truck. 595 Kgs at 450 Kpa. Can't say that I'm running on a 100% confidence level with them but they're brand new so I'm not replacing them. I keep a careful eye on them, the rims look pretty well made.

Light truck whenever possible mate. Try and ovoid putting steel belted radials on any trailer. Reason being that trailers don't have a steering camber setting on them which means there is always the same amount of camber on the tyre ( to a degree ) and what happens is the steel bands that are wrapped around the tyre after a while get pressured to the point of less resistance, towards the lower side of the camber. Under no circumstances ( if you are forced to run these tyres ) ever change the wheels over from right to left, ( oK to change front to rear with duel wheels ) cause what this does is after the steel bands have been pressured to one side ( exagerated ) ONE way and you turn the tyre on the other side you then start forcing the oppisite camber to the Steel bands and they become knotted up. Nylon/reylon Light truck 6 or 8 ply or better for larger is what I would recommend. -------------------- Frank

QUOTE what happens is the steel bands that are wrapped around the tyre after a while get pressured to the point of less resistance, I can definately agree with that comment Esp in my case having a very long tow vehicle which hasn't got the best of turning circles Down the bottom of the street there is a turning bay & I crawl around it as slow as possible all this time the tyres look so twisted it aint funny Messa tinks I'd get into big twubble had my tyres been steel beltted they'd go BOOMA BOOMA like they've been ZOT -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |
