I bought a 2008 coachman blast 170 (17 ft) and took the wheels off my 8 1/2 x 16 Homesteader Hercules enclosed trailer and put on it. Should these be okay for the toyhauler? Thanks for your help!!

Howdy Howdy wheeliedad,
I'm not qualified to say for sure about tire swap, but I would suggest that you check-out the (Date) on the tires and also make sure that they are not (trailer use only). Another thought is not only the age of the tires, but also how often have they been used on the road. Most likely if you used the trl for hauling your atv's, they have been used enough to keep the chemicals working in the rubber to keep it alive. Lastly would be the number ply rating since your new toy hauler is most likely much heavier than the trl.
I'm guessing you are aware of all the above comments, but I would feel a miss if I didn't mention some of the most obvious problems.
Have a good'in and keep the tires turning.

Tires and wheels/rims are fitted according to the trailer’s axle rating. So you need to look on the trailers certification label for the tire and rim size and the axle GAWR.
The certification label is on the left external section of the trailer. Sometimes on the side of a 5th wheel hitch.
