What is the replacement trailer tire size for 20.5 x 8.5 -10 6 ply. This is for a single axle trailer with a 2200# torsion axle. Thank you.

Hello. You'll want to get another tire of the same size, which is 20.5 x 8.5 -10 with a 6 ply rating. The "6 ply" part means the tire is strong enough to handle the weight your trailer carries. Just make sure the new tire matches this size and ply rating to support the 2200-pound weight of your trailer. Always check the tire's information to ensure it can carry at least 1100 pounds, which is half your trailer's total weight capacity. When shopping for your tire, you can ask a tire shop or your trailer's manufacturer to confirm you're choosing the right one.
