Can you put car tires on a travel trailer?

I have a flat tire on my travel trailer and I don’t want to buy a new one. My truck’s wheels are about the same size. Could I put car tires on a travel trailer?

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear about your
flat tire
. Your travel trailer requires specific tires, so you can’t put your car’s tires on a travel trailer.
Regular car tires can’t handle a travel trailer as they’re Load Range B rated. Since they are designed to be more flexible for smooth driving, they can’t handle the temperatures associated with travel trailers or stabilize heavier loads.
Your travel trailer will need Load Range C rated tires, often known as ST or Special Trailer tires. They are sturdier and equipped to handle heavy loads in travel trailers.
Tires can be pricey, so consider using the
