Features to know about
Ready for Highway Use and Heavy Loads: Load Range C Bias Tire Rated at 745 lbs at 90 psi
This setup is made to handle tough towing days with confidence. The Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 bias tire carries a Load Range C rating, built with a 6-ply structure that supports up to 745 lbs at 90 psi. It’s highway-rated for 65 mph and meets DOT specifications, so you can roll steady without worrying about overheating or overloading.
Corrosion Protection That Lasts: White Powder-Coated Steel Wheel
Moisture and road grime don’t stand a chance against this wheel’s finish. The 8" x 3-3/4" steel wheel uses an e-coat primer topped with a white powder coat that resists rust and corrosion season after season. It keeps its clean look while maintaining durability where it counts.
Smooth, Reliable Handling on Uneven Surfaces: Bias Ply Construction
The tough nylon cords inside the bias-ply casing sit at 30-45° angles in alternating layers, giving the tire stiff sidewalls that flex evenly across the tread. That construction helps it stay stable and smooth when towing over bumps or rough ground, reducing sway and keeping your load steady.
Mounted and Ready to Install: 4 on 4 Bolt Pattern with 0 Offset
No need for extra mounting work—this tire arrives already paired with its steel wheel and ready to bolt on. The wheel features a common 4 on 4" bolt pattern, a 2.5" pilot diameter, 0 offset, and uses 1/2"-20 lug bolts. With a section width of 4.7" and an outer diameter of 16.1" when inflated, you know exactly what you’re working with before it ever hits the road.
Confidence Built In: 1-Year Worry-Free Guarantee
Kenda backs this tire with a 1-year worry-free guarantee that replaces it at no charge if it’s damaged within the first 12 months. It’s peace of mind that fits right in with the sturdy build and long-term reliability of this tire and wheel combo.

Determining Bolt Pattern
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"

Exact fit for my little 1971 trailer. My only complaint was the tires were made in 2022. On the other hand, I don’t think this tire size is very popular.

So far excellent..last tires lasted 15,000 mi. on Mini-Mate motorcycle camper over rough roads. These are going to Alaska and in load range C for gravel and bumps. Wheels have perfect paint and the 3 raised dots in rim recess to hold my new baby moon hubcaps. Popped them on new wheels/tires today and they fit over bearing buddies and seated more firmly and tightly with than I've experienced before with no rattle at all. The tires installed more easily because the center hole was smaller than many old sets of wheels and lug bolts aligned easily and exactly. The Kenda 6-ply have been good in past but was very pleased with last tires(CST) the rubber stayed soft and didn't crack. My spare is also Kenda 6-ply and hasn't shown cracks through 4 sets of tires on the trailer. The new ones look to be of same high quality. They arrived quickly and was able to install between work commitments. After trying to order same on other sites for over a week and get info as to plies/wheel type, etc., I stumbled on eTrailer site and 'bingo' all taken care of and perfectly!

Its now a year and they are at the wear bars! However, they traveled rough chip and seal and dirt and mud roads through Yukon and Alaska round trip from Colorado. They have 1200 miles on them..5000 more than the last sent went and on sandpaper roads to boot! I want another set of these as soon as they can be shipped!

These wheels and tires are ideal for highway use for long trips. They say right on tire "High Speed Trailer". With the trailer with no cargo, it weighs 530 lbs. With a 600 to 700 lb load I am at capacity with old tires (590 lbs each). These new tires are Load Range C vs my old tires Load Range B. My new tires are 745 lbs range each. They have two extra plies on the side wall. I also updated the springs with the 750 pound range 3 leaf version I bought also from etrailer. The key to success is to inspect the trailer each time you use it for small starting cracks in trailer frame, loose hardware, low pressure in tires, lights, etc.

The way that trailer tires are rated has changed over the years. Currently, the ply rating given to a tire doesnt necessarily reflect the number of layers or plies used to construct the tire. This tires rating is equal to the rating given to the rating a 6 ply tire under the old rating system.

I'm getting 10,000 miles+ from these and like the fact that the installed rims have the 3 little nubs to accept moon discs on my motorcycle trailer. I pull through some nasty places and this keeps my 'Bearing Buddies' grease from picking up dirt. Got 2 sets wheels last time so am set for a while. On an Alaska 10,000 mile round-trip over bad chip and seal and horrible dirt these held up great. Be sure to inflate properly for your application as they come inflated to 60 lbs. (for boat trailers) and my little camper requires 27 lbs. when loaded. Test run them over your wetted driveway to see that you are running on the entire tread, not only the middle.

The wheel & tire were an exact fit of the old wheels. The powder coat will last many years. The wiring harness in the picture was also from Etrailer.com. It simply just plugged it in (I loved that part). That's so much easier than hard wiring a harness to a vehicle.

This is the second set of these Kenda 6ply Hi Speed rated trailer tires I have purchased from etrailer.com.
They’re used on my Vintage 1988 Coleman Columbia Camper I pull to road racing permanent tracks throughout the US during the summer.
The first set lasted 5,000 miles. The team there are the best and the prices are amazing.

These wheels were a great replacement for my "tag-a-long" trailer that I will pull behind my motorcycle. I dressed them up a little as you can see in the picture by adding little black dots to the rim. From a distance they look like regular 12" or 13" rims with holes in them.

This site was great to purchase from! I have an older trailer for our small levy boat and wasn't even sure what size to choose. The information on this site was readily available, very detailed, easy to understand, and easy to find. This allowed me to select the wheel and tire combo that was a perfect match to my application giving me the confidence I needed to make my purchase.
I highly recommend this site for your trailer needs!

- Can 4.80/4.00-8 Tires Be Upgraded To Larger Size For Higher Speed RatingHello again Mark; as long as you don't exceed the 65 mph rating you can stick with a tire like the Kenda Loadstar K371 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10002. Moving to a larger tire with a higher speed rating is going to mean a fairly large size difference. To see if you can use one of these tires you will need to measure for clearance. The closest thing that also uses an 8" wheel would be the Kenda 215/60-8 # AM3H290. This has a speed rating of M for 81 mph. However, it is significantly wider...
view full answer... - Recommended 4.80 Tires w/a 4 on 4 Lug Nut PatternHey Steve, thanks for the information. We've got a couple of 4.80/4.00 tires that fit a 4 on 4 lug nut pattern. They're tubeless and come with an installed valve stem. They're load range C and have a 745 lbs capacity each. The only difference in the two is that one has a galvanized wheel and the other has a powder coated white wheel. I have listed them below: 8" White Wheel - Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire item # AM30040 8" Galvanized Wheel - Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire item...
view full answer... - Recommended 4.80-8 Tire w/ a 4 on 4 Lug Nut Pattern and a 2.5" Center Hole I sure do Gary! It's the Kenda 4.80-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel item # AM30040. This is a load range C tire with a 745 lbs capacity. It comes mounted on a white powdered coated steel wheel with a 4 on 4 lug nut patter. The pilot hole is 2.5". We also have that same wheel and tire setup on a galvanized wheel item # AM30050. What kind of trailer do you have? You can add this information, along with any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.
view full answer... - Can I Put Larger Tires On My Small Boat Trailer?Hello Marco, thanks for reaching out. It may be possible to put larger tires on your boat trailer. The main thing to consider here is the wheel well clearance. You want at least 3" between the tire and the fender, and at least 1" between the inside of the tire and the frame of the trailer. The 4.80/4.00-8 tires are about 4.7" wide and 16/1" in diameter. So if you can tell me how much clearance you are working with currently, we can use that to determine if larger tires will fit, and what...
view full answer... - Benefits of Using Higher Load Range Trailer TiresIncreasing a trailer's tire size can offer some potential advantages but it can also cause issues. Using a wider and/or larger diameter tire can mean clearance issues within the fender wells and at the leaf springs. It is important to have enough clearance above the tire tread to allow for suspension travel; at least 3-inches but more is better. The most common reason folks want to use larger tires is to reduce the chances of a blowout, which is certainly a very good motivation! But there...
view full answer... - Are 15 Tires Available with a 4 Lug WheelsWhile we do have 15" tires and wheels that have a 4 lug pattern none of them are compatible with each other. If you were to go with a 15" tire, like the Taskmaster Provider # TR20515D then the least amount of lugs is a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern like the wheel that you could pair it with # AM20422. For a 4 on 4" bolt pattern the largest tire we have comes with the combo # AM3S120 which uses the Loadstar 175/80D13 bias trailer tire. If by chance you are talking about the total diameter...
view full answer... - Looking For 4.80/4.00-8 Tires And Wheels For A Towable Log SplitterHello Kris. We do offer some of the 4.8-8 tires with wheels. Everything we have uses the 4 on 4 or 5 on 4-1/2" bolt patterns which are standard for trailers. It sounds like your log splitter uses a different kind of wheel though, and we do not offer anything in an 8" other than the sizes we mentioned above. We can provide just the tires, like the Kenda K371 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10004, but I am afraid we do not have a wheel for you. I feel like your best bet for that will be to contact...

If that's the case then we have some great options for you, the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles part # AKIHUB-440-2-1K is an idler hub assembly with 4 on 4" bolt pattern that uses L44643 (1") bearings.

This is a tire by itself and it is rated for 760 pounds at 90 psi. It fits 8 x 3-3/4 inch wheels. The highest rated tire and wheel combo in this size with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern is # AM30040, also at 760 pounds at 90 psi. The highest rated tire and wheel combo with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern is # AM30060 at 760 at 90 psi also. I have included a link to our tire and wheel FAQ articles for you.

The only real differences that you will see is that the Load C tire will be able to stay a little cooler and handle higher weights with less stress. A few things you will want to keep in mind when operating; even though part # AM30040 has a higher...
view full answer... - What Could Cause Vibration At 50 MPH On Trailer W/ New Axle and HubsThat is definitely odd, but I would lean towards a hub/bearing issue. I didn't see you mention this step, but when installing the new hubs/bearings did you tighten the castle nut nice and tight to seat the bearings fully, and then loosen it up to get the correct bearing preload? If not I would start there and complete this step and see. The hubs should not free spin, but should have very minor resistance. If that all checks out, I would make sure all of the U-bolts holding the new...

The Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Aluminum Wheel part # AM30677 that you looked at is 20.7" in diameter compared to a Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel part # AM30040 that is 16.1" in diameter the tire will be 4.6" larger. Only half of that will be between the fender and tire so 2.3" or about 2-3/8" plus a couple of inches for suspension travel. With that said I think 4.4" would be a good number...
view full answer... - Replacement Wheel and Tire for Maypole MP712 Trailer I did a little digging and it looks like your Maypole MP712 trailer has 4.80-8 size tires on a wheel with a 4 lug bolt pattern so for a replacement you could use the part # AM30040.
view full answer... - Can a Load Range C Tire be Used Instead of a Load Range B Tire on a TrailerFirst, make sure that you stay within the gross trailer weight capacity for your trailer. If that 200 pounds extra puts you over the gross trailer weight capacity then you will want to carry that extra weight in the vehicle. Going with a higher capacity tire will not increase the gross trailer weight capacity. With that said since you have a long way to go and such small tires, having a stronger tire in the same size would help to reduce the chance of anything happening to the tires. For...
view full answer... - Is The Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8 Inch White Wheel, # AM30040, Rated For The HighwayThe Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8 Inch White Wheel, # AM30040, is highway rated. Trailer tires have a speed rating of 65 mph. Trailer tires are designed for carrying a maximum load at all times, so to do that they are reinforced in the sidewall. With the sidewall being reinforced, that causes the heat to build up more quickly at lower speeds with a load on the tires, so you will not want to run a trailer tire at higher speeds than the 65 mph speed limit.
view full answer... - What Pressure Should Trailer Tires Actually be Ran AtTrailer tire pressure ratings are different from vehicle tires. With trailer tires you want to always inflate them to the max psi rating when cold and as long as you aren't exceeding the weight capacity and speed rating any psi fluctuation will be totally fine and not need to be monitored. If you under-inflate them (sounds like you might have been) they will build heat up quickly which eventually leads to failures like blow outs. The # AM30000 should be ran at it's 60 psi rating. It...
view full answer... - Recommended Load Range C Boat Trailer Tires in Size 4.80-8 Increased load and higher driving speeds both tend to cause tires to run hotter, and it is possible that this combination of factors has led to your two recent blowouts. A higher load range tire can deal with the increase in your trailer weight. However, most trailer tires are rated for only 65-mph unless specifically stated otherwise. None of our tires in your size carry a higher speed rating. In your tire size we offer a tire only, Kenda Bias Ply Load Range C tire # AM10004, and also...

We carry two products that fit this: # AM30040 that is on a white powder coated wheel and # AM30050 on a galvanized wheel. Both have an outer diameter of 16.1 inches and a maximum capacity of 745 pounds at 90 psi.
view full answer... - Going With Larger Wheel and Tires on a Tear Drop TrailerI would first recommend that you check to see how much clearance your current tires have. This will help you determine if you can fit any larger tires without modifying the fenders or suspension. I like to have at least 1" of clearance throughout the suspension travel. I have included measurements for your tires below with a couple options to allow you to see what is available that may require little to no modification. 4.80/4.00-8 # AM30040 -Width- 4.7" -Height- 16.1" 5.70-8 # AM10010 -Width-...

The name 4.80/4.00-8 is used so people will know that the new size which has a tread width of approximately 4.8 inches is the correct replacement that would be slightly wider than your existing tire. The # AM30040 tire/rim combo you referenced would be an acceptable replacement for your existing tires, as long as they are replaced in pairs. The 4.80/4.00-8 tire is designed for a 3-3/4 inch wide rim and is 16.1 inches in...
view full answer... - Jet Ski Spare Tire and Wheel for 4.80/4.0-8The Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer tire with 8" Wheel Part # AM30040 is a good option. This will give you the proper size you are looking for when it comes to matching your other tires. I like that this assembly comes put together instead of having to mount a separate tire and wheel. This is a load range C bias ply tire so it is specially designed for being a durable trailer tire. This will hold up whether you are carrying one or two jet skis.
view full answer... - Difference In Diameter Between an 8 Inch Wheel with Tire and a 15 Inch Wheel with TireThe height difference between an 8 inch wheel with tire and a 15 inch wheel with tire will really depend on the tire size on the wheel. It is true that an 8 inch wheel is 3-1/2 inches smaller in diameter than a 15 inch wheel, but with tires on the wheels the difference will likely be greater than 3-1/2 inches. For example, the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8 Inch Wheel # AM30040 when inflated has a diameter of 16.1 inches, while the Kenda ST205/75-15 Radial Trailer Tire with...
view full answer... - Can Vehicle Tire And Wheel Be Used On Pop-Up CamperIt is not recommended to use a vehicle tire on a trailer or camper because they have weaker sidewalls and can fail. Trailer wheels typically have a zero offset and vehicle wheels have an offset so there could be clearance issues with that as well. Also, the bolt pattern could be different for the wheel as well. I would stick to trailer wheels and tires on the trailer to be on the safe side. If you let me know what the wheel bolt pattern is on your trailer hubs I will be glad to make some...
