We do have tires that will work for you, although tires that are size 155R12 are likely automotive or light truck tires, so there isn't a direct replacement of that size for trailer tires.

A tire that is very close in size is 145/R12, and I recommend the Kenda tires because of their automotive tread and durability, as evidenced by their 5-year warranty, which is a very long warranty for a tire. The tires that will work for you are:

- Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D (1,220 lb capacity) # AM10130
- Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E (1,520 lb capacity) # AM10140

Keep in mind that capacity is per tire, which I only mention because it's something people often wonder. I have added links to video reviews of both tires for you to check out as well.

Answer 1

Generally speaking, it is not a huge deal to upgrade one size (12" to 13") so long as you have clearance but the other thing to make note of is the surface area on the hub. If you have a 2,000 lb trailer axle then your hub is likely only…

We do offer both bias ply and radial ST-type trailer tires in a 12-inch wheel size although a ST155R12 is not among them. In a radial type we have size ST145/80-12 tires which are only 10mm narrower than your current tires and would work fine on…

A 155/80-12 is definitely not a common trailer tire sized, though it may have been at one time. It sounds more like a car tire size which should not be used on a trailer. The trailer tongue or frame should have a sticker or plate that indicates the…

For your 2012 Toyota Sienna Tow Ready wiring harness #118498 will establish the 4-Way like you said. You can use #30717 as a 4 to 7-Way adapter but I recommend #37185 because it will give you both a 7-Way and still retain the 4-Way. The white wire…

Answer 5

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

Answer 6

A 155/12 tire will be about 6.1 inches wide. The closest match is a 145/12 at 5.7 inches wide. I have included a link to all of the tires and tire/wheel combos we have in this size. A 155 isn't a trailer tire size (unless it has an ST in front of…

Answer 7

A tire marked 155r12-76 is an automotive tire, but we should be able to get you something close. Trailer tires are typically less expensive than automotive tires because they do not have to meet the same safety standards since they are not designed…

Answer 8

If you go up to the taller tire size of ST175/80-13 like with the #AM3S130 you'll lose about 1.5 inches of fender clearance which may not be an issue but you'll want to make sure you have at least 3 inches when it's all said and done. It…

I do have options for you but we don't have any sort of comprehensive list that shows all trailer tires available for any particular trailer model. However, most pop-up tent trailers this size will use 12" or 13" wheels/tires. The Kenda…

Answer 10

In regards to upgrading, which for most means going with a larger wheel/tire combo, this is possible but you will be limited by the bolt pattern of the hubs. The 4 on 4" bolt pattern will allow for wheel sizes from 8-13". The best size…

Answer 11

There are a few things to consider when purchasing new tires and wheels for your camper. A wider tire such as the Westlake ST225 #LHAW124 can certainly provide more traction on the road than the factory size tires on your camper, however this might…

Answer 12

We don't have the exact tire size replacement, but as long as you are replacing all your tires, you will be fine with a slightly different size. I recommend the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire w/ 12" White Spoke Wheel - 5 on…
