When it comes to a spare tire for your big Tex dual axle trailer The Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 16 inch x 6 inch Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - Galvanized Finish # AM20744 will be equivalent with what you have already.

The wheel has a 3,050 pound capacity and the wheel bolt size is 1/2 inch-20. It meets the DOT specifications.

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…
