Mounted Tire & Wheel Assemblies

What Are Mounted Tire & Wheel Assemblies?

Also known as tire and wheel assemblies, wheel and rim packages, and tire and rim combos, trailer tire and wheel packages provide you with fully inflated tires already fitted, mounted, and balanced on a wheel, with a valve stem installed — so all you have to do is put them on your trailer, tighten up the lug nuts, and go. Whether you're replacing worn-out rubber on a boat trailer, cargo hauler, utility trailer, or RV, a pre-mounted assembly removes nearly every step from the equation.

Why Choose a Pre-Mounted Assembly?

Buying a tire and wheel as a matched set delivers three key advantages: convenience, safety, and value.

• Time savings: Getting wheels and tires together instead of separately offers a big dose of convenience and time savings — you don't have to choose each component (tire, wheel, valve stem) separately.
• Guaranteed compatibility: With a tire and wheel assembly, worries about getting mismatched sizes are eliminated because everything is compatible — the tire matched to the wheel.
• Factory balancing: You don't have to first mount the tires to the wheels and install the valve stems — that has already been expertly done for you at the factory, where the tire and rim are also balanced.
• Instant spare capability: Mounting trailer tires can be used to replace a worn-out tire or to prepare a spare in case of emergencies, enabling a fast switch of mounts.

What to Know Before You Buy

To make your best choice, you'll need to know the size trailer wheel and tire you want, the type of trailer tire in terms of load range/ply and tread, and the bolt pattern you need to attach to your trailer. The easiest way to select the correct size wheel and tire is to match the size your trailer was equipped with when you bought it.

The load rating of each ST trailer tire represents the maximum weight the tire is designed to carry, including the weight of the trailer plus the weight of the cargo, at a given inflation pressure. Getting this number right is critical for safe, stable towing. These trailer tire and wheel packages are ideal for utility trailers, cargo trailers, boat trailers, and other light- to medium-duty towing applications.

You'll also want to choose between bias-ply and radial construction. Radial tires generally run cooler and offer a smoother ride on the highway, while bias-ply tires can be more rugged for rough terrain and occasional use.
