Tires & Rims 2018 Casita Independence

Hi - I know this topic has been talked about, but I would love for someone to just tell me what rims and tires to buy for my trailer. I am very confused about the lingo. Ratings, tire brands, year of tires, sizes, etc. I just want better rims than the ugly ones that came with the camper, and good tires. If you could give me a link for the tires and rims, that would be appreciated. I have a tire store that will put them on.

Thank you so much! Amy

I think most Casitas now come with 15" wheels but double check. Look at the sidewall of your current tires, probably 225-75-15. If so, that is what your new tires should be. Goodyear Endurance and Carlisle Radial Trail HD are good choices. They come in load range D or E. Either will work for your Casita. The wheel specs are 15" diameter, 6" width, "5 on 4.5" bolt pattern and zero offset. If you have a Discount Tire store in your area that would be a good place to start.

Tires are easy: Goodyear Endurance ST225/75R15 load range E

For the rims, are you wanting steel or aluminum? You need the diameter (15") as well as the width and bolt pattern (not sure). Steel trailer rims will all be zero offset, but if you start looking at aluminum auto wheels, you will have to specify zero offset.

I would recommend working with a local tire dealer. Discount Tire is my own favorite, and they can get pretty much anything that's available at a competitive price, but I don't know if they're in your area.

Whatever and wherever you get, make sure to request that the new tires/wheels be balanced when they're installed. Not all shops automatically balance trailer tires.

I have a Discount Tire in the area. Thanks to all for the great information. I am going to show the tire dealer the info to make sure I get it right. I will make sure to get the Goodyear Endurance. Happy travels! Amy
