lug bolt pattern/spacing for Bigfoot 19' ?

[gmcgilli66]

Hi All, well, I feel somewhat foolish as I parked my trailer about 200km away for the summer and visit it regularly. I noticed some severe checking/cracking on a tire last trip and need to replace it before driving home.
The dilemma: I didn't bring a rim home with me and so, need a tire +rim assembly! I need the bolt pattern!! It's a 195/70 r14 tire mounted on a 14" rim.
This is the tandem axle model from 1985. I'm thinking 5 on ?(4 1/2)?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Geo

Hmmmmm. I can't help with your first question, but if they are all of the same age, by the time one shows visible cracking the others are breaking down inside as well.

Check the sidewall date codes. If they are all over 7 years old it's time to replace.

Thanks Bob, The one needing replacing is the spare. The other 4 are new in 2012 spring.
I just need to replace the spare. The roads are pretty good but conditions could require a spare. I'm an ex-scout and so, "always be prepared" seems wise.

Yep, sounds like a plan, good to hear you are on top of the other tires, others are not as astute about that...

George, I got your message. If no one answers up with a definitive answer maybe check with Chuck at: Fiberglass Travel Trailers RV Chuck has owned, used and sold several different models of Bigfoot... including a 19' tandem axle.

Thanks Donna, Not much info forthcoming so far. I'll give it a few days. I've contacted a few owners here in BC and hopefully someone will have a lead.
cheers,
