5.20 x 10 Tyres +/- Wheels - suggestions for cheap sources?

[ShinyShoe]

Anyone got any suggestions on where to go for cheap 5.20 x 10 Tyres.

Got a small box trailer that the tyres are looking decidedly ropey on and I figure I should do something about them.

Is there a good tyre dealer who does good prices? Hard to tell online as they don't let you search for odd tyres like this...

Or should I just be looking at a trailer place and probably get em with new wheels since my old wheels at the very least need a coat of paint too?

£60 trailer off of ebay is starting to look like it may be expensive to tart up...

Where do you live I might have a couple on 5 1/2 pcd

5 1/2pcd?
I'm in Durham. So not a million miles away from you but probably further than the fuel justifies?

I've found some on wheels for £40 a pop from trident-uk the dinghy people...

Let me see how many I have if your not in a rush we go up to Carlisle every so often there not at my house at the mo so will look next week if you like and you can have them

Look at Towsure - normally pretty cheap for standard stuff.

Indespension is very reasonable for parts incl rims and tyres. Good quality stuff too.

I'm guessing I'm not standard then! Cant see an 5.20 x 10. Could be that it has another name and I just don't know what I'm looking at...

Indespension and very reasonable were never words I thought I'd read together! But again they don't seem to list a 5.20

I'm assuming I can't just pop 5.00 x 10s on?

Thought I better work out what was going on with PCD being mentioned everywhere. I'm on 4 holes, and the distance between the holes is roughly 10cm.

So if yours are 5 1/2 then they wont fit.

Bit of digging and I found a towing site that seems to say 5.20 x 10 are discontinued. So to use 5.00 x 10.

There appear to be plenty of 5.00 x 10 wheels about with a PCD of 101.6mm which I guess could be what mine are. I'd assume mine are imperial measurement as they look like they probably came off a 1966 Mini!

Got mine from Indespension take an old wheel with you is best bet.

Firstly welcome to Ribnet!

Two things

1- NEVER mix pcds - even if they "just" fit. The studs won't survive long when you start driving.

2 - if they are ex mini wheels most trailer places do parts. They certainly used to be a popular donor. Can kget dedicated hubs / axles for then.

Just go to your local independent tyre place. They prob wont have stock but will be able to get them for you. You are in no great rush so should be fine - especially if you just drop the wheels off and come back a week later. I'd guess you'll get the pair fitted for £40.
