It would help knowing where you're located.

etrailer.com

They have the D rated rims/tires that I run on my Karavan trailer, you can also get the c rated variety

What size are you looking for?

You found a D rated tire in that size at lowes? I'd double check the load rating on that tire you just bought.

The C rated will be around 1,360-lb

D rated will be around 1,610lbs

B is definitly wrong.

1100x2 = 2200

Your boat weighs:

1847 dry

170lbs of fuel

300-400lbs of trailer?

Plus anything else you carry in the boat

= 2300lbs minimum

C Rated gets you 2720lbs of capacity - maybe that is factory for a 175

Mine is a 195 classic that weighs 2091 dry and came with D rated tires from the factory

isnt the 80D a D rated tire?

Nope

st175/80D13c

ST = trailer tire

175 = 175mm section width

80 = 80% sidewall aspect ratio

D = Bias Ply

13 = rim diameter

C = load rating

Hi Nutsy,

This is a good idear to have a spare!!!

Can i ask if you are going to mount the spare in the trailer? If so how do you plan to do this.

Has anyone else done this and how have they mounted there spares?

Spare tire bracket from NorthernTool or Fleetfarm costs about $25 - mounts to the side rails on the trailer frame.
