I have seen quite a few discussions about the 14.5 tires, rims and axles on here so I thought I"d throw in my 2 cents worth. YES, I"m in the tire business, and I deal with this size almost daily. The major tire companys ( Firestone, Goodyear, Cooper, etc. ) build a GOOD tire that has no mileage restrictions. It"s a 12 ply and is suitable for long hauls at highway speeds. New axles and rims are available also. They are just as roadworthy as any. I think Dexter has them. The one thing to watch on the rims is the MAXIMUM air pressure the rim is designed for. The light ones are only good to about 60 PSI (I think), we don"t use them at all. The better rims are good to 100 PSI, like the MAXIMUM pressure of the good tire. In my opinion the tires, rims, and axles under house trailers and modular homes are NOT quality items to be used on a daily basis. The tires are marked for mobile home use only. That alone should serve notice to anyone buying these components. Back to the main thread, for 37 chief. Yes, the 7-14.5 is the smallest of the 14.5"s( 7-14.5 , 8-14.5 , 9-14.5) There is not much difference in the height between the 7 and the 8, maybe 3/4 to 1 inch and about 1 inch width. The biggest thing you need to look at is the weight carrying capacity of the 7-14.5. It will be less than the 8-14.5. I would check on the sidewall of a 7 and on an 8 to compare how this will affect the trailer"s 13,000 # GVW. If you need any further information my e-mail is open.
