Answer 1

Since both a ST145/R12 size tire, like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM10130, and a 5.30-12 size tire, like the Kenda K353 #AM10068, fit a 12 inch wheel, a ST145/R12 size tire can replace a 5.30-12 size tire. Keep in mind that these tires do have…

Answer 6

To answer your first question, radial tires are superior to bias tires because they run cooler and are less prone to blowouts. The only reason to run a bias tire is if you do a lot of agricultural or off-road work. In regard to fit, the Kenda S-Trail…

Answer 7

Your current tires are about 21.9 inches in diameter when inflated. We don't offer any tires compatible with 12 inch wheels that would be any taller than that, so to gain more height you'd need to go up to a 13 inch wheel and use a 175/80-13…

Answer 9

That's a good question, and the answer is that your current 5.30-12 tires are not safe for traveling at highway speeds. What you likely have on your trailer now is a bias ply tire, which is not good for highway use because they are stiffer and…

Answer 12

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…
