Note: These 4.80/4.00-8 tires fit in the same space as a 4.80-8 size tire, but are not an exact match. On a trailer with 4.80-8 tires, we recommend either replacing all tires/wheels with 4.80/4.00-8 tires, or replacing one or more with 4.80-8 tires.

Note: The overall capacity of this tire-and-wheel assembly is limited to the lowest rated component. Do not fill your tire to a pressure greater than that indicated on the tire itself or on the wheel that it is mounted to.

Determining the Bolt Pattern

The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.

To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)

On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)

Measuring the distance from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

• If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
• If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
• If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
• If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

• What is the Smallest Overall Diameter Trailer Tire You Carry and What is the Speed Rating
  
• The special trailer (ST) tires will have a maximum speed rating of 65 miles per hour, unless stated otherwise on the tire. It is not recommended to run a trailer tire at a higher speed than 65 miles per hour due to the heat buildup that will occur inside the tire and cause the tire to break down and cause the tire to fail. The smallest 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern tire and wheel we sell is Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Tire with 8 Inch Wheel, part # AM30020. It has an overall diameter of 16.1 inches. The

• Recommendation for the Best Trailer Wheel and Tire Size for Highway Towing
  
• You are correct that many deck over trailers have lower height wheels and tires. The reason for this is to reduce the height of the deck for ease of loading and unloading and to reduce the propensity for the trailer to be top heavy which can be a factor that contributes to trailer sway. Trailer tires are not rated for high speed towing. As a general rule most trailer trailer tires and wheels are rated for 65 miles per hour depending on the manufacturer. The best way to select the size of

• What is the Speed Rating for a Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire
  
• All of the trailer tires that we carry are rated for 65 miles per hour. Since a higher speed will produce more heat, it is not advised to go more than 65 on a trailer tire. Heat buildup is the main cause of tire failure. Trailer tires are made with a thicker sidewall to handle more vertical load. The thicker sidewall generates more heat. The faster a tire is spinning, the more friction there will be and that will lead to excess heat. I have included a link to our tire FAQ article for you.

• Speed Rating of 4.80 X 12 Trailer Tire
  
• All of the trailer tires that we carry are rated for 65 mph, unless otherwise stated on the tire sidewall. Using the tire at higher speeds will cause more heat to be built up in the tire, which is a major contributor to tire failure. Be sure to keep trailer tires inflated to the maximum pressure as listed on the tire sidewall. Insufficiently inflated tires can also lead to excess heat build up. We carry several different wheel/ tire combinations in 4.80X12 tire size, I have linked you to

• What is the Speed Rating for a 4.8x12, 2-Ply Trailer Tire
  
• If you are using our tires, they are all rated for 65 miles per hour maximum, regardless of how far you are going, unless otherwise noted on the tire sidewall itself. While there is a formula for tire speed based on size and construction of the tire, it is not applied to trailer tires. Trailer tires should also be inflated to the maximum psi rating as indicated on the tire. Because trailer tires are made with a thicker sidewall to handle more vertical load, under inflating a trailer tire woul

• Will a Higher Capacity Trailer Tire Last Longer on a 4x8 Trailer Harbor Freight Trailer
  
• The first problem is that you are running lower air pressure than what the tire is rated for. Trailer tires should ALWAYS be inflated to the maximum air pressure as indicated on the tire. The reason is that trailer tires are constructed with a thicker sidewall than passenger vehicle tires. Because of the thicker sidewall, if the tires are under-inflated there will be more heat build up and than can cause the tires to fail and as you are seeing wear out quickly. If your trailer weight is a

• Correct Replacement Trailer Tire Size for 1-1/2 Ton Utility Trailer That Uses 215/75R/15 Tires
  
• The tire size currently on your trailer, 215/75R/15, is a light truck/passenger tire and not a trailer tire. You will be better off with tires made specifically for use on a trailer and rated appropriately for the axle. Keep in mind that the load your trailer can carry will be limited to the lowest rated component in the system - either the wheels/tires, the axles or the trailer frame itself. Increasing the capacity of one component, such as the tires/wheels, does not necessarily increase the we

• Should Trailer Axle be Changed from a Normal Axle to a Torsion Axle on Home Made Tear Drop Trailer
  
• You can go to a torsion axle and different tires and wheels if you so choose. You have to consider what you are trying to accomplish by doing so to determine if it is worth the expense or not. Normally I would say you could change to a different tire size if there is clearance to do so but Harbor Freight trailers tend to have odd bearings and if changing the hubs is required to go to a larger size tire and wheel you may not be able to without changing the axle any way. If you do change out th

• Can Adding Larger Tires to a Trailer Increase Its Capacity
  
• I am glad you asked these questions. First, to tow a trailer level you need only a ball mount with the proper rise or drop. I have included a link to our FAQ article that explains how to measure for rise/drop and a link to our ball mount main page. For the tires, going to a higher capacity tire does not increase the capacity of the trailer itself. The trailer capacity is set by the axle capacity. There should be a plate or sticker on the trailer tongue or frame somewhere that lists the capaci
