Tries for a M101 3/4 ton trailer

What are the different size trailer tires that will fit the old style m101A rims?
I see many different styles.

Mine has 285 16 equiviant on it same size I run on my suburban 8 bolt rims making the spare work for both truck and trailer. We will have to get together some time I drive past Fort Meade twice a day

Thanks, Sounds like a plan, I have a couple of 101 trailers in decent shape, I'd like to use more often but the tires show dry rot.

Hello,

Remember the M101A1 trailer rims are the same as the old dodge M37 rims with 5 holes The newer -A2 trailer has the 8 hole rims like the Chevy CUCV I believe and used a smaller tire. The old rims used 9.00-16 tires. I have some used 9.00-16 Michelin XL Radial tires with 30-40% tread that are better than your dry rotted NDT's. If you are not in a rush and can wait till Aberdeen in May I can bring you down a couple.

No rush, bring them to Aberdeen in May, I'am interested. When I picked this trailer up from from GL one tire was a Cooper 16" AT/ like the ones mounted on a m1009 Chevy.
Thanks

One of the tires that we on the 101 trailer when I picked it up was a Cooper 235-85RT, mounted on the old style 5 lug rim.
