Just picked up a little drop axle trailer, currently has a set of 11+year old 205 75 R15's on it. Drags ass end , going down a steep-ish hill, to where I park/store it. I think if I could get it an inch or 2 higher, dragging would stop. Here's my question, Does anybody make a 205 85 R15 trailer tire?
225/75r15 trailer tires would add 0.6" of height. The only other way to gain height is to modify the suspension. What's it got for suspension?
Simple single drop axle, bolts to frame, I see where you are going, that's a lot of work, to shim it up right... Even the wider tires, might not clear the axle, its close right now. I might have to do some hilbilly engineering...
Sounds like there might be a 215/85-15 but I couldn't find any. There are 31x9.5-15 but they seem to be all off road mud bogger type tread, and $$$. There are old 15" heavy duty trailer tires that were quite tall, maybe even on moving van trailers and car haulers? like this or similar: https://www.prioritytire.com/loadma...hQ43I2k8xbNfqINRiR-kVZ6UJZRPxQKRoCn4QQAvD_BwE
There is a 7.50-15 that's 27 inches tall I'm guessing bias.
Maybe a junkyard for 16" tires and wheels with correct bolt pattern?
I think I got it figgered out, cheap. Gonna put 2 little 10" wheels, like from a mover's dolly, on the ass end of the trailer, sos they hit a inch lower than the back frame...
Got the wheels mounted, put them in the tailgate hinge pins! Figgered that's where the strongest metal was,plus I didn't have to drill any holes in the trailer... Trailer looks a lot like this: https://sleequipment.com/6-4-x12-al...9T3h0eEf6TVizZUmDBSbDjcIQ_vX1U2RoCw3gQAvD_BwE
