Load range for trailer spares

[496 Cubic Inches]

I have 205/75/14 load range B tires on my trailer. I've looked all over town and can't find a trailer tire of that size thats not a load range C. <br /><br />Should I continue my search for the lighter load range or will a C be ok?

I don't know How Big your boat is,....<br /><br />But,...... "B" range tires are Awfully Light-Weight..........<br /><br />There's No Reason Whatsoever, Not to go with Heavier Rated Tires........

You should have trailer (type "ST") tires on your trailer.<br /><br />You can use a load range C in place of a load range B.

The trailer is a tandem axle 2006 EZ-Loader. The boat is a 20' North River aluminum boat that weighs 1750 dry. I haven't weighed it yet as I don't pick it up until tommorow. I figure the boat will be about 3000lbs with motors,fuel,batteries,ect. I think the trailer was listed at 1100bs.

Just make sure that they are trailer tires and that they are rated for the combined weight of your boat and trailer. The weight capacity should be printed on the tire sidewall.
