Hi Tim, hope you're doing well. I get what you're saying. A long afternoon years ago on the side of a freeway with my pontoon boat convinced me to buy the.higher load range when possible. I did find 225/75r15 in stock at Fleet Farm and they're willing to mount them on the right rims for me. Since the 225's will fit ok, I just need to figure out how many lugs, ugh..... how many times have I looked at that trailer? Funny how our minds work, or don't work.

Axle and bearings are only rated at 3500lb so 4410lb on the tires when combined won’t be the weak link.

Got it, thanks Hollywood. Tim wrote in that thread that any of the sizes 205/75/14, 215/75/14 and 225/75/15 should fit. I'm finding the 215 load index at most 108 which is 2,205 lb whereas the original H78 x 15" was 2,330 lb... problem? I want the highest load index I can get but the 225's are hard to find in stock. Arghhh, I knew I should've done this before we moved!

If you have an ‘84 trailer it should be the 5 lug info from that thread

I didn't find this excellent post in my previous search...
post I confirmed the info about the 1987 manual, but I didn't see any tire info in the 1978 manual. I'm trying to find a picture that shows my lug pattern. |

Hello all,
First, I hope all of you are well. I've been absent while my wife & I spent the better part of three years selling the house and moving an hour north onto a lake, but we finally made it! I'm getting too old to be hauling, launching & retrieving the boat every time, so this will be great. Now to tap into the infinite wisdom on this forum--what bolt pattern & tire size do I need for my 1984 Ski Nautique 2001 original trailer? The boat is in a friend's shed about an hour from here. The previous owner had put some car tires, I think, on the trailer, so I want to get it right. And what rims & tires do you recommend? I know it would make sense to order online, but my son & I might grab the boats in a couple of days so I might need to pick these up locally. Thanks in advance! I've missed being part of the boating world. Selling & moving was brutal but we're here now!
