eCustomrim 2-Pack ST145/R12 Steel Belted Radial Trailer Tire Load E 1520 Lbs. 145/R12 145R12-6 Year Warranty w/Free Roadside

Bought trailer it had huge 15 inch rim trailer tires and sat way too high (see last picture). I had a bunch of old spare bios 12 inch tires/rims sitting around but knew tires were old and weight and speed rating would not work. Bought these had them mounted on rims and worked great! Trailer deck is 7X16 and hauled 3 side by sides on it with new tires round trip about 1,000 miles average speed about 70MPH with zero issues. Pics were taken after trip no issues with tires.

As other have stated, these arrived banded together, so were slightly mis-shapen when released. Mounted and inflated, they appear normal. These E rated tires are the heaviest I have installed on my lightweight (900 lb total) boat rig to date. I used a manual tire mounting fixture in my garage to mount them and they were easy to do, but it took over 70 PSI to seat the rims on both, and this was with a veg soap/antifreeze lubricant. The seating took place with a quite violent pop. I attribute the tight seal to the robust construction of the tire itself rather than any sizing defect and I feel confident corrosion and leakage at the seal will not be an issue with this installation. I expect breaking the bead to replace them in the (hopefully distant) future will be quite a project in my home garage, but thats a small price for peace of mind in the meantime.

First and foremost, both tires came with rims. This was a pleasant surprise to me since I only expected the tires and not the rims. Sadly the rims were useless to me since they are not of the four hole pattern I’m looking for. Either way, that was a fun surprise. The rims it came with are 12 inch in diameter, 4 inches wide, and a five hole pattern. I purchased the tires to install on my 12 inch, 3.5 inch wide, and 4 hole pattern rims that go on my Japanese mini truck. I wasn’t sure if my narrower rims would be an issue with the bead sealing, but it fit like a glove. I used soapy water to mount and seal the bead after using sandpaper to clean the rim of old bead seal residue. Getting the tire onto the new rim was a bit tricky, and I’m not sure if it was due to the slightly tough stretch, lack of experience, or both. Either way I am extremely happy with the tires. There are no leaks and my mini truck looks amazing. I only bought one set but I am going to buy another to fully outfit my mini truck. The best thing was that the tires arrived in two days instead of the scheduled 8 days!Update 8/18/2020The second pair did not comes with rims, just as I expected the first time. This is not an issue because they never mentioned anything about including rims. I just got lucky with the first pair. Shipping was quick and I love my new tires.

So far they performed very well, on a double jet ski trailer. Brought to local tractor repair guy to mount install was reasonably easy since he had a small tire changing machine.

I upsized the tires on my utility trailer to these to have a bit smoother ride. The old tires were dry rotten and cracked. So far I've put a couple thousand miles on them at highway speeds and they are holding up fine.The were super collapsed when they arrived. The sidewalls were nearly touching each other at the bead so they were very difficult to get them to seat. You'll either need to use fire or a bead seater tank. If you're paying someone else to install, I wouldn't worry about it.

No worries about tire problems taking the boat out.

Good price and no problems.

Delivered quick. Had them mounted at Discount then put them on the trailer and hauled (an admittedly light) load about 250 miles. No issues. Much more confident in these 10 ply tires than the 4 ply crap that was on there before.
