Tow dolly and wheel size
I'm looking at a tow dolly to pull our 2013 RAV4, but the specs for the RoadMaster model 2050-1 specifies 12" to 16" wheels.
I wrote them the following:
And received the following reply.
I guess I didn't get the point across. My RAV4 uses 225/65 x 17 tires, and my Tundra pickup uses 245/70 x 16 tires, which actually stand about an inch taller.
I guess the RAV4 tires are too large for the dolly and the larger Tundra tires are not :?
Anyway, I'll shop elsewhere. I've looked at a Master Tow at another dealer, and it looks comparable to the RoadMaster.

I want to buy your tow dolly model 2050-1 at Camping World, but they cannot tell me if I can tow my 2013 RAV4 with P225/65R17 tires. Your specs say most cars with 12” to 16” wheels, but there are many tires fitted to 16” wheels with diameters larger than my P225/65R17 tires.
Can you tell me, please, if I can use this tow dolly with my tires?
And received the following reply.
Your tires are to big we only have straps that fit 16" tires.
