RE: [omc-boats] Johnson 9" tires

Hi Gary,

I'm from North Carolina

I have a '64 14' Evinrude Sport and 50 hp Evinrude with the original
Evinrude trailer. It has been in the family since new. The tires are 6.90
x 9. They can carry the load they are rated range C. Not sure of the
weight of the 16' but these tires carry 1120lbs each, can't imagine it
weighing that much. I've seen bigger boats use the trailer over the years.

The new tires I got were Carlise tires. Try Discount Tires Store. I also
changed out the capped hub centers with grease hubs like new trailers have.
You can get them most anywhere.

Hope this helps

Tom

Subject: [omc-boats] Johnson 9" tires

I am a new subscriber . My name is Gary I recently got a 1968 Johnson
Seasport 16'(155hp) with the original Johnson trailer . The boat runs
excellent but the trailer tires are dry rotted . The trailer spec say the
tires are 6.90 x 9" 8ply . I have been looking for replacement tires with
no luck . I can only find 6 ply which is not heavy duty enough to carry
the weight . Does anyone know a source to get the correct tire ?

Thanks Gary
