Washington is another lake I want to fish but that one would mean finding a place to stay. Some day I'm going to do a trip where I hit as many of the big name lakes as possible over several weeks. Figure if I network through C.C I could hook op with other members for a day of fishing just about anywhere I want to go. That's how this sites members roll.

I'm sure I have fender clearance, what I question is will the smaller tire size still be fine for the boat weight, trailering performance, etc.

Bigger tires would go on Jr's trailer, which makes his boat go faster....mines already fast!!!

It shouldn't be a problem but if it worries you, have the tires switched to the different rims.

Compare the load ratings that should be on the tires

Here’s a question for anyone who cares to answer:
Currently on my boat trailer it has plain rims with tires about 80% tread, my previous trailer that my son now owns has fancy mag style rims and brand new tires. My son would rather have my plain rims.....he hates chrome shiny stuff. I like chrome shiny stuff that’s why I put nice rims on the trailer he now owns.

I’d love to make the swap however the tire size on my current boat rims ( plain ones) are one size larger (215)than the shiny ones (205) and this gives me pause to not make the switch......thoughts, opinions?

Are the rims the same size?

Take them all off, and swap the tires to the rims, then you would be good.

I believe i fished Lake Washington back when me and Don made a trip south and we hooked up with Slab, Tomtom and Billbob for the week, we stayed at some came site that had pecan trees

That was a very cool experience fishing in the cypress tress, if i recall i had a mississippi fishing license

I don’t want to go swapping tires on to other rims and lose 20% tire tread to boot.
If it was just a swap I’m for it, but G touched on more of my concern....load rating.

Here’s what I have currently on the trailer

I’ll look for Load Range next visit.

So if load Range is at least a C, am I good to swap?

BTW thanks for your help!

What’s wrong with hose rims, those are sweet.
