    Default Question about trailer tire

    On a small (Jon boat) trailer, are there alot of variations on lug pattern? I mean, if you have a 4.80 x 12 tire on a 5 lug rims, should all the 12 inch 5 lug rims have the same lug pattern? I know the simple solution is to take a wheel with me and match them up, but I ran across a heck of a deal and don't happen to have one with me. Thanks in advance.

    You’ll pay twice if you don’t just buy radial trailer tires to start with assuming you pull a decent amount.

    Just make sure it's not over five years old. Dry rot kills more trailer tires than anything.
