    Just wundrun if anyone out here has ordered wheels on the large river that starts with the letter A? I don't want the piranha to bite me in the rear end :fart:! My small trailer doesn't have a spare and for 25 bucks more than the tire shop wants for just 2 tires and a lowered load range of C, I can get a pair of tire/rims and up to range D. Then use my ribbed for her pleasure thin tread wheels as spares. Wuldja order them or are they junk? PS its time!!!!!!:confused: 20180611_214912.jpg

    Mine were 12", but I ordered a set like that, no issues. Seems like a pretty good deal compared to just tires from the local tire shop. I think mine came from a place in Florida...I don't understand how they can ship them and still make money for about the same price as buying just tires...oh, and the wheels and tires seem like they are good quality, no reason to think otherwise so far...been a couple years ago now.

    And to throw out for debate too, bias vs radial on trailer advantages and disadvantages?

    I think you will find the bias ply to be a lot cheaper, but I believe the real downside to them (if I remember correctly, and somebody feel free to correct me if I’m wrong) is the speed ratings. If you are going to be operating them on the highway you may want to stay away from them.
