Trailer help needed. Hub/Wheel/Tire Non US
So I picked up this odd motorcycle trailer to refurbish.









Doing a wood platform and will mount a single rail in the center with a wheel chock. LED tails in the rear with no more huge bumper thing. Paint the frame black. Just much cleaner.

Anyways, sorry. To my problem ive hit a massive wall with.

TIRES. I need to source some new tires and I can find NOTHING. I do not believe these trailers came from the US. Everything is in KG ratings and such. I can find absolutely nothing on this trailer by Thule. I did find a company called BRENDERUP that makes an almost identical one, which I find Thule owned Brenderup for a while and yeah. Either way they dont appear to be sold in the US.

The hub is a 4x100 bolt pattern. So that presents the first problem. I cant find any damn wheels with that hub pattern. Everything is 4x4". So I go to just look for replacement tires and keep these wheels and carry air/goop/tire plug if I get a flat. I cant find a 10" tire to save my life. It appears these are 3.5" or 4" deep wheels. S

I really dont want to have to go through the price of buying all new 4x4 hubs and wheels and tires.

Is there something Im missing here? I even looked at like Honda Civic wheels since I knew they and others are 4x100 pattern, but the hub bore is only like 54mm. My hub bore is 60mm. So no go there either. UGH!

We stock the 5.00-10 8 (D rated) trailer tire, made by Deestone, Model D901. You should be able to find them locally or we could ship to you. We're primarily an importer/distributor, not always efficient when it comes to a couple of tire sale.

We do stock wheels, too, but not metric spacing.

Wow! Thank you. I have no clue how I missed that tire.

Is this the correct tire?
