Spare Wheel – 260 x 85 mm, Ø20 mm (Inflatable Tire)

This 260x85 mm spare wheel features a large-diameter inflatable tire that offers several advantages when maneuvering your trailer or boat dolly. Smoother ride: the pneumatic tire acts like an air cushion – it absorbs shocks and vibrations when moving over rough terrain. This means that when pushing your trailer over gravel, grass, or uneven ground, the trailer will roll more smoothly with less jarring. The 260 mm (10") diameter is significantly larger than standard 200 mm wheels, which helps the wheel roll over obstacles more easily and reduces the chance of sinking into soft ground (sand, mud).

The wheel has a 20 mm bore for mounting – a standard size that fits most jockey wheel axles. The hub is made of durable material (usually heavy-duty plastic or metal) to withstand load stress. Installation is similar to other jockey wheels: remove the old wheel/tire from the axle, inspect the axle and any bushings or bearings, then install the new wheel and secure it with the appropriate pin or fastener. Make sure to inflate the tire to the recommended pressure (for example, typically around ~30 PSI, unless otherwise specified) to achieve optimal load capacity and shock absorption.

Usage & recommendations: The 260x85 mm inflatable spare wheel is ideal if you frequently move your trailer over soft or uneven surfaces – for instance, launching a boat on an unimproved ramp, on the beach, or on a dirt path to the water. The larger diameter and width spread the load better and prevent sinking, making this wheel a preferred choice for sailboat trailers, jet-ski dollies, or beach launching trolleys. Keep in mind that a pneumatic tire requires some maintenance – it’s advisable to check the air pressure before use and keep it properly inflated for maximum load support (an air-filled tire carries weight best at the correct pressure). Also, beware of sharp objects on the ground, as this tire can be punctured like any other; if a puncture occurs, the inner tube can be patched or replaced similarly to a bicycle tire. This product is made in the EU, ensuring quality materials and reliability. With proper care, this wheel will greatly ease the task of moving your boat on land, providing a smoother ride and requiring less effort when pushing or pulling your trailer.
