Why would it matter about tread pattern on a trailer tire other than appearance? They are not drive wheels nor steering wheels, so traction doesn't really matter, and an agressive tread pattern just increases friction, making the tire run hotter and reducing fuel economy. I went with a stiff sidewall LRD, high pressure low rolling resistance trailer tire and called it good.

I have a very nice factory wheel off a 2018 Rpod-180 that is taking up room in my attic.  Is any one interested.
