This Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 bias trailer tire and wheel combo is built for small-scale towing that still demands reliability at highway speeds. Rated for 65 mph, the tire carries up to 590 lbs at 60 psi with a 4-ply rating, while the matching steel wheel handles 910 lbs. Both meet Department of Transportation specs, so you can roll with confidence trip after trip.
The steel wheel features a corrosion-resistant finish designed to stand up to wet roads and storage weathering. A white powder coat over an e-coat primer seals out moisture and grime, keeping the wheel looking sharp season after season without flaking or peeling.
This bias tire uses thick nylon cords set at a 30- to 45-degree angle, alternating in a crisscross pattern that stiffens the sidewalls while letting the whole tire flex evenly. That design helps absorb ruts and uneven terrain, giving you steadier handling and a smoother ride when trailering on back roads or job sites.
The 8" x 3-3/4" steel wheel uses a common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, a 2.8" pilot diameter, and zero offset for simple alignment with standard hubs. Wheel bolt size is 1/2"-20. When inflated, the tire measures 16.1" in outer diameter and 4.6" in section width—compact, consistent dimensions that make fitment predictable and hassle-free.
Kenda backs this setup with a one-year worry-free guarantee—if the tire is damaged within the first twelve months, it’s replaced at no charge. It’s backed further by a five-year tire warranty and a limited one-year wheel warranty for lasting assurance on every haul.
1. Count the lug holes
Look at the wheel hub or the back of the wheel and count how many lug holes there are(also called bolt holes).
Common configurations include: 4-lug, 5-lug, 6-lug and 8 lug
2a. For even lug counts (4-lug, 6-lug, 8-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole directly across to the center of the hole opposite it.
Common configurations: 4 on 4", 6 on 5.5", 8 on 6.5"
2b. For odd lug counts (5-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole to the outer edge of the hole directly across (not center-to-center since there's no directly opposite hole).
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

I've had these on for about a year. They were the cheapest I could find and I've had no issues with them. The trailer doesn't get used very often, the tires probably only have about 1,000 miles. One long road trip at high speeds in pretty warm weather, and the rest local trips in varying weather. No cracks, leaks, or other signs of trouble with the tires and the wheels held their torque where some tend to loosen after the initial installation.
Excellent match to the old tire and wheel I'm replacing. Couldn't find this tire on a 5-lug wheel in local shops, etrailer had what I needed.
Haven't used the spare I purchased yet, which is good, but the folks at etrailer offered this at the best price I could find and shipped it very quickly. They are in my favorites folder now and will probably will get the next order for more trailer goodies. I have four trailers of various kinds so there is always a need.

Thanks for asking. Still maintain that the tire deal was the best around. Will buy from you again.
Great for the price! I think it will work great for hauling my snowmobile around town! Those website really helped me on finding the information for wheels that would fit my trailer.

Exactly what ui needed. Powder coat looks good, came fully inflated too.
I really like that etrailer has an informative video with the guy showcasing the product having him in the video was really helpful to get a sense of scale, and I learned that you measure from inside the rim which helped me get the right dimensions to make sure I was ordering The right size
etrailer has a huge inventory to choose from. They shipped my order the same day and with UPS as the shipping company, I got my order in 3 business days!
Fast delivery and exactly what I needed! Thanks etrailer
Exactly what I needed. Customer service was excellent. Thanks so much.
Great customer service, orders filled and quickly
Great product
They look great! They’re the only 5 lug in South Florida
Tires and Wheels seem of good quality and solid. They went on without a problem and look great. Didn't have time for a road test but felt solid on a quick trip up and down the street.
I bought a use jet-ski trailer, after a couple of weeks the tires went flat, noticed they were weather worn. Bought these tires to replace the bad ones. Worked great, looks great. Exactly what I needed at a very reasonable price. Super fast shipping.
It fits and looks good. Reasonable price and quick shipping. I haven't had it out on the road yet - just got it mounted on the new hub. Thanks for your help.
Time in a timely fashion and look good. The issue is that one wheel has the divots to hold the hub cap and the other doesn't. Emailed Lauren a week ago for follow-up and have heard nothing.
I have a small boat trailer that these tires are just right for. The trailer sat out for a long time and the original wheels were going to cost to much to fix. This was the easy option. They work great.
Great recomended
Perfect for my new kayak trailer
Exact tire that is on my trailer
Great quality parts at a decent price and fast shipping. What more can you ask for.
The tires fit my trailer. I was looking for tires by accident, I saw your website so I gave her a try. I follow your instructions how to measure the tires. I ordered two tires. Hope they fit they fit my trailer. I’m very happy you have me for a new customer. Thank you and I like my all my friends about your website.
Great quality. Perfect fit. Immediate shipping, what’s not to like? Every experience I have with etrailer is always top notch. A true pleasure to do business with your company.

Looks good John, glad to know we've been able to provide that top notch experience. We appreciate you choosing etrailer!
The tires arrived quickly. The DOT date codes on the tires were recent. The wheels were well painted. What can I say? They're wheels and tires.
I'd give them a 5 if I had driven them more than just a dozen miles.
Bought to replace dry rotted tires. Shipping was as promised and packed well. Tires came inflated exactly to spec. Rims fit and small boat trailer rides noticeably smoother. Would purchase again.

Have now had the new tire and wheel on my trailer for a year. I dont haul things a great deal but it has had its share of heavy loads of mulch and a few 40-100 mile highway trips and is doing great.
