I've purchased a 2017 Tracker 190TX (Yea!) and should receive it in a couple of weeks. Since it doesn't come with a spare tire for the trailer, does anyone know what size of tire is on this trailer? Is there a specific lug nut pattern for the rim? It's surprising a spare tire is not offered as an option thru Tracker. Thank you
5x4.5 I believe is the lug. 13" rims. But if anyone wants to know. 14" rims will fit. Looks better to

I'd hit the dealer up for it. A spare should be part of the trailer.
If they still come with 13 tires and you're not concerned with matching the wheels, you can find a mounted spare at Tractor Supply, PEP boys, BPS, and Cabella's to name a few.
BPS will probably sell the wheel/spare to match.
What size motor did you get and color of the boat? I just bought one with a 115 with the tracker metallic black finish. Tough to keep clean but looks sharp in the sun. With the 115 it sits super low in the water in the back and takes on water if the waves are big. I plan on upgrading the bilge pump because its just not strong enough to pump out the water fast enough.
Thanks for the info on the spare tire.
Regarding the motor size, I got the 90 hp and the grey color. We'll be using it on the lower Colorado River. , hence the lighter color choice. It's suppose to be 120 degrees out there today.
Very nice. Congratulations!!! They are great boats.
Welcome to the site, very glad to have ya, pull up a chair, pop a cold one and look around, don't forget to enter the new members contest, you could win a nice prize!!
Don't forget, when you get the boat home we need pics, we live for boat porn so lots and lots of pics are in order, no pics=no boat, we're going through withdrawal, we need pics or we get real twitchy!!!

PS Did I mention we need pics?
id holler back at the dealer. my 175 had a option for the spare, so im willing to bet the 190s do as well.
When I purchased my new 17.5 Tracker I picked up a spare tire and wheel at Walmart. I used a piece of paper to trace the hole pattern so I could be sure the one at Walmart would work. Then came the problem of placement on the trailer. I had to dodge the bow of the boat, the winch, and the swing away tongue. I finally mounted it flat with U-bolts under the tongue. Makes a nice place to stand when I'm solo and climb down from the bow to use the winch.
