Smaller tires on same wheels
Howdy all,
We need to replace our tires due to excessive cracking and since we bought the trailer used we have no idea just how old the tires are.
So here's the question, we currently have Maxxis ST185/80D13 and would like to go to Greenball ST175/80R13 that I can get from Costsco. So can I do this on the same wheels? Greenball doesn't have an ST185
Yes, I know that we lose some weight capacity by going with the smaller tires but we are not even close to the loaded capacities (yes we have been to the scales). And I know I shouldn't go cheap on tires because of how important they are. But from things I'm reading Greenball Radials are pretty good.
Any input for or against is appreciated. I value the honesty and the opinions of this forum and that is what makes it a great forum.
Thanks, Ted
