I am considering changing the tyres of my caravan to stronger ones.
The caravan came with 165R13 86 R (reinforced) tyres.
I found a lot of tyres with same size and 8 PR, i.e. 165R13 94.
I believe the original rims are 5.00B and, often, I see in the tables that these 8 PR tyres need a 5J rim; but this is not always the case.
What do you think about this? Are J and B rims intercahngeable?
Just out of curiosity, why do exist J and B (and others) different profiles?
GT-RADIAL 165R13C (4.0 ~ 5.0 generic)
GT-RADIAL 165R13C (4.50B;5.00B;5J)
Continental
(page 22: 165/80 R13 XL 5.00B and 5J
page 70: 165 R13 C 6PR only J allowed)
Thank you a lot.
