Location: Central Florida | I do not have a spare tire for my trailer. No rim, no tire.
How on earth do I go about getting one? I do not believe I can magically call my local trailer supply place and say "I have a horse trailer I need a spare tire for it" and they will have one.
Do I give them the tire size? I'd like to know how much cash to take with me .... |

Location: western PA | You will need to know the wheel diameter and width, along with the number of studs and their diameter. Depending upon your trailer, some truck rims available at a junk yard will fit. The various sizes can be found on the tire's sidewall, the studs can be counted, their size can be determined by taking a wheel nut to be measured. Many trailer dealers stock spare wheel/tire assemblies; unfortunately you will find most are Chinese. They are available if a junk yard can't provide what you need. |
