The best 13-inch trailer tire and wheel depends on your trailer’s bolt pattern, load requirement, and preferred tire construction. For higher stated capacity, consider the eCustomRim radial Load Range D pair; for a Load Range C radial, consider its white-wheel assembly. Bias-ply pairs suit buyers seeking a standard replacement set, while the single assembly is intended for replacing one tire and wheel. Confirm fitment and capacity before ordering.

eCustomRim Radial Load Range D Pair
This two-pack is best for trailer owners whose compatible setup calls for a 13-inch radial tire with Load Range D. Each ST175/80R13 tire has a stated maximum load of 1,610 pounds and a maximum inflation pressure of 65 PSI. The listed overall diameter is 23.9 inches.
The 13-by-4.5-inch rims have a 5-lug-on-4.5-inch bolt pattern and a 3.19-inch center bore. The tire, wheel, and valve stem are described as DOT-approved; the listing also specifies a six-year manufacturer’s warranty with roadside assistance. Choose this pair when its higher listed capacity matches the trailer’s requirements.
- Limitation: Do not choose it based on capacity alone; the Load Range D rating, pressure, and fitment must match the trailer specifications.
eCustomRim Radial Load Range C Pair
Choose this two-pack if you want radial tires with white wheels and your trailer calls for Load Range C. Each tire is rated for a maximum load of 1,360 pounds at 50 PSI, with a listed overall diameter of 23.9 inches. The product description identifies the assemblies as radial construction.
Each 13-by-4.5-inch rim has a 5-lug-on-4.5-inch pattern and a 3.19-inch center bore. The assembly includes a tire, wheel, and valve stem, and the listing states DOT approval and a six-year manufacturer’s warranty with roadside assistance. This is a better fit than the Load Range D pair when the trailer requires the stated C rating.
- Limitation: Its stated maximum load is lower than the Load Range D option, so verify the required rating before buying.
eCustomRim Bias-Ply Load Range C Pair
This pair is best for buyers replacing two compatible bias-ply 13-inch assemblies. The ST175/80D13 tires are Load Range C, with a stated maximum load of 1,360 pounds per tire at 50 PSI. Their listed overall diameter is 24.4 inches.
The included rims measure 13 by 4.5 inches and use a 5-lug-on-4.5-inch bolt pattern, with a 3.19-inch center bore. The package includes tires, wheels, and valve stems; the listing describes the assemblies as DOT-approved and specifies a two-year manufacturer’s warranty with roadside assistance. Its specs make it a straightforward option when the trailer calls for bias-ply tires and these dimensions.
- Limitation: The 24.4-inch listed diameter differs from the radial options, so check clearance and existing tire dimensions.
GarveeTech Bias-Ply Pair With White Wheels
GarveeTech’s two-pack is best for buyers who need ST175/80D13 bias-ply tires on white spoke wheels. The listing gives a Load Range C, 6-ply rating and a maximum load of 1,360 pounds at 50 PSI. It describes nylon cord layers and double steel belts as part of the tire construction.
The pre-mounted tires use 13-inch wheels with a 5-lug, 4.5-inch bolt pattern. The listing identifies utility, boat, and travel trailers as intended applications. Choose this option when the tire rating and wheel pattern match your trailer and you want a pair ready to install.
- Limitation: The supplied details do not state a center-bore measurement or overall tire diameter; verify those dimensions before purchase.
eCustomRim Single Bias-Ply Assembly
This single assembly is best for replacing one damaged or worn tire and wheel when the remaining assemblies are compatible and serviceable. It uses an ST175/80D13 bias-ply tire with Load Range C, a stated maximum load of 1,360 pounds, and a maximum pressure of 50 PSI. The listed overall diameter is 24.4 inches.
The rim is 13 by 4.5 inches, with a 5-lug-on-4.5-inch pattern and a 3.19-inch center bore. The listing states that the tire, wheel, and valve stem are DOT-approved and includes a two-year manufacturer’s warranty with roadside assistance.
- Limitation: This is a single assembly, not a pair; compare its tire specifications with the other wheel on the axle.
Buying Guide: Choosing a 13-Inch Trailer Tire And Wheel
What fitment measurements should you check?
Start with the tire size printed on the existing tire or specified in the trailer manual. Then verify the wheel diameter and width, bolt pattern, center bore, and overall tire diameter. The products here commonly list 13-by-4.5-inch wheels and a 5-lug-on-4.5-inch pattern, but that does not guarantee they fit every 13-inch trailer hub.
Check clearance around the tire as well. Bias-ply options in this selection list a 24.4-inch diameter, while the radial options list 23.9 inches. A difference in diameter can affect available clearance, so compare the actual trailer setup rather than relying on the 13-inch wheel size alone.
Should you choose radial or bias-ply?
Choose the construction type specified for your trailer or the type already fitted, unless a qualified service professional confirms a change is appropriate. These listings describe radial tires as radial construction and the D-designated options as bias-ply. The product data does not establish that one construction is universally better for every trailer or road condition.
How do load range and inflation pressure compare?
Compare each tire’s load rating with the trailer’s required capacity, and follow the trailer and tire instructions for inflation. In this group, Load Range C options list a maximum of 1,360 pounds per tire at 50 PSI; the Load Range D radial lists 1,610 pounds at 65 PSI. Never assume the highest rating is the right choice if the wheel, trailer, or required specifications differ.
Should you buy one tire or a pair?
A single assembly can make sense when only one replacement is needed and the axle’s other tire is suitable. A two-pack is a practical choice when replacing both sides. Keep tire size, construction, and load rating consistent with the trailer’s requirements, and inspect the remaining tire before deciding.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does every 13-inch trailer wheel fit a five-lug hub?
No. Confirm the bolt pattern, center bore, wheel width, and other fitment requirements for the trailer. A 13-inch diameter alone does not establish compatibility.
What does ST175/80D13 mean?
It is the tire size shown on the bias-ply products in this selection. Match the full size marking and required specifications, not only the 13-inch wheel diameter.
What is the listed load capacity of the Load Range C options?
The listed Load Range C tires are rated for a maximum of 1,360 pounds per tire at 50 PSI. Confirm that this meets the trailer’s requirements.
Are these products sold with wheels already mounted?
The listings describe complete tire-and-wheel assemblies, and the GarveeTech product specifically states that its tires are pre-mounted. Check each listing’s current package details before ordering.
