"Have a 2005 Nitro boat & trailer. Tire blew out last fish trip. Trailer has ST215/75 R-14 tires. They are radial. Fishing buddy has 2 new ST205/75 D14 bias tire he will give me. I understand you should not mix radials with bias tires. Could I use these tires for spare just to get home. Long distance, short distance??? Any ideas appreciated. Thanks"

"Besides the construction being different, the tread width doesn't match.

I'd used only "matched pairs". You could use the remaining radial as a low speed "fair weather" emergency spare, if needed (& another rim was available) but you won't find many people to endorse the idea (liability). I would NOT use it to make the trip home if it was 75 miles away on an interstate."
