The wheel's size ensures that it flows smoothly with the others and that the cargo you are carrying on the trailer has a smooth, safe ride to your destination.

How to correctly measure an ST Trailer Tire
Towing a trailer is an undertaking that must be taken seriously for safety
reasons. The load being towed and the size of the trailer must be able to handle
the job. The trailer tires should be sufficient to handle the load being
hauled.
Radial Trailer Tires vs. Bias Ply Trailer Tires
Freight haulers pull trailers full of goods to businesses throughout the
country. The long haulers travel across road conditions that can cause
wear-and-tear to the trailer tires, eventually causing the driver to have the
tires on his trailer replaced.
Deciding on the right tires for your trailer is essential to ensure the best
traction and wear resistance so that the shipment can reach its destination.
Since trailers have no driving mechanism to move the tires, only braking
equipment, the trailer tires must allow for full stability on the road without
the trailer swaying during turns if the trailer has high side loads.
