Trailer tent tyre search.. 16.5 6.5-8 , metric equivalent 165/65/8.0

martyc5674

Am looking for tyres for an old trailer tent.
I've given the original dimensions and what I believe to be the new metric equivalents in the subject.
They are a bit of an odd ball size... I don't need them till next summer again so have time to get them for best possible price, open to online suggestions once I can see spec.
Just looking for suggestions as to who May have these sizes in Ireland.
Would be looking for 6 ply high.
Cheers
Martin

Might be easier (less actual work changing them) to get complete wheel and tyres. Do you know the stud pattern/centre bore for the wheels?

For bricks and mortar stores, an agriculture supplies place would probably be able to get them. I think ted Johnstons in Naas do trailer wheels and tyres too.


On a side note, 6 ply relates to the load rating the tyre can take rather than the sidewall height.

Cheers colm great ideas there.
They are 3 stud I could measure the PCV but trying to keep costs down so tyre only definitely preferred.
Looking for minimum 6 ply as a lot of the 4 ply versions have a load rating of 270 kg whereas the 6 is 360 and the trailer would often be over the 500 mark.
Thanks again
Marty.
