Trailer Tire Recommendation for Motorcycle Trailer with Tire Size 5.30-12
Published 03/08/2019
Question:
I own a small cargo trailer that i tow behind my harley touring bike. I am going on a coast to coast trip , towing the trailer all the way . It has 600lb torsion axels , weighs 220 lbs empty and gross weight of 600lbs. I am considering putting on 15 inch trailer tires , the pattern is 5 lug 4/12inch .. or should i just put on the 5:30 x12 radials ? Not sure reading mixed reviews . What do you think ? THANKS

Expert Reply:
It doesn't look like you have a whole lot of extra fender clearance on your motorcycle trailer so I'd recommend sticking with the tire size you have now and going with a higher speed rating like the part # TT53012C which is rated for up to 81 mph.
