This Kenda 4.80-12 bias trailer tire and 12" galvanized wheel combo is made for steady, reliable towing. Each tire supports up to 785 lbs at 60 psi, while the wheel itself is rated to 1,250 lbs. Together they meet DOT specifications, giving you dependable load handling whether you’re towing light or heavy. The assembly weighs about 18 lbs total?– 8 lbs for the tire and 10 lbs for the wheel?– for a solid but manageable setup that’s easy to handle.
The 8-spoke steel wheel’s galvanized coating keeps rust at bay even in humid or wet conditions. That finish protects the bead seats and bolt holes from corrosion so you can count on long-term reliability. With a common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, 3.19" pilot diameter, and 0 offset, it’s a straightforward fit that’s ready to mount and go.
The bias design uses nylon cords set at a 30-45° angle that crisscross through four plies, creating a tough and flexible carcass. Those stiffer sidewalls help the whole tire flex together over bumps or gravel without harshness, so you get stable tracking and a smoother ride when the road isn’t perfect.
You don’t have to mess with mounting or inflating—this combo arrives assembled and aired to proper pressure. Just bolt it on and go. The setup meets Department of Transportation requirements and carries Kenda’s 1-Year Worry-Free Guarantee plus a 5-year tire warranty and limited 2-year wheel warranty for extra peace of mind.
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"

The best tires for the price. The old set of Kenda Load Stars that these are replacing are 7 years old and are showing some minor cracks b/t the treads. So much easier and cost effective to order them already mounted. Ordered Mon. and delivered Wed. 1 day early! which has been the case with my orders from etrailer.

Still great tires. About 2,500 miles on them so far. 1,700 of those at 70-75mph without issues.
I replaced the tires and rims on my small boat trailer with this set. The tires have worn well and run smooth. Buying the set was cheaper than having just the tires replaced. Will buy again!

Still going strong!
Arrived quickly. Wheel and tire combo fit my needs perfectly and was shipped damage free. Very happy with every part of the transaction.
Tires are nearly a year old as delivered. I didn't wanna go through the hassle of returning. DOT date of manufacture is 4224. Sad that you would send out new tires that old.

I completely understand your concern, John, it’s a great question and one that comes up often. I want to assure you that your tires are in excellent condition. The warranty begins from your purchase date, not the manufacturing date. It typically takes about six months for tires to make their way to the U.S., and during that time they’re stored in climate-controlled environments to prevent any aging or deterioration. Tires don’t actually begin to age until they’re exposed to outdoor conditions. I used to have the same concern myself, but after learning directly from tire manufacturers how their storage and dating process works, I felt much more confident, and I hope this helps put your mind at ease too.
Great quality need to get the trailer on the road for more information.
Your response after the purchase was very impressive
Wheel and tire are a perfect spare for my Hustler PWC1200T trailer.
The galvanized wheels look like chrome and really dress up the utility trailer.
Love my new tires and the awesome customer service. Only took five days from the time I ordered them to the time I received them. They look amazing on my trailer
These look to be great tires.
I bought this tire mainly for the galvanized rim. It is currently being used driving across country so I hope the tire holds out. It seems to be running cool and performing well. At least E trailer lived up to their promise with the delivery date.
Swapped out 8” Malone Ecolight trailer wheels with these. Bolted right up, new fender mounting holes drilled for clearance. Easy.
the exact replacement wheels I needed for my wave runner trailer. Amazon wheels, although less expensive, seem to have quality control questions. The Quality on these wheels are excellent. I wanted extra wheels for long trips in case of emergencies, so I use my old ones as the backups now. *the gold tint in the pics are just from anti-corrosive spray.
Easy web site and fast delivery
A few weeks ago when prepping my sailboat for the summer I noticed some bad weather cracks on both of my trailer tires. Naturally I turned to etrailer for help! My two tires arrived promptly and well packaged. They were inflated properly as well, look great, and fit perfectly. I haven't driven on them yet but expect they will drive great! Thanks etrailer for saving my sailing season! Old one on the left, new on the right.
The tire/wheel combination took a bit longer to deliver as it was out of stock temporarily but still arrived within 2-3 weeks of ordering. The tire/wheel shipped in a nice sturdy box, and upon opening was in perfect condition. The first thing I look for is the manufacture date of the tire, which showed it was produced about 6 months earlier which is pretty good, since all tires start to deteriorate from the day they are produced. This will be a spare for my EZ Loader 1,000# trailer and should work out great. As always the price and service at etrailer was terrific and included free shipping, so that's a big plus.
Fast delivery. Fair price. Well packaged. look great. Great customer service via emails! Can't wait to get these on my trailer!

That's awesome, Ernie! Let us know what you think once you get to test them out.
Great product and a great company. Super fast shipping!!
Never ordered tires before but had to replace the dry-rotting existing tires on the trailer I had inherited from my dad's estate. A friend told me about this website and how great it was, so I thought I would visit it to check it out for myself. This website was VERY helpful and informative about the ins and outs of tires, rims, and critical measurements. I was also stepping up from 8" tires to 12" tires and was unsure about whether or not the new rims would fit on my existing hubs. The hole dimensions they provided led me to believe I could order new galvanized rims with the new tires and have a reasonable expectation for a good fit. So I ordered them, and even though we were in the midst of the corona virus lock-down, the tires arrived in sturdy boxes 3 or 4 days later. I cleaned the existing hubs and studs on the trailer, and slipped the new tires on without a hitch. Every one of them fit like a glove!
Very happy with this company and will be visiting them for more accessories and such - strongly recommend them to all my friends and to any one looking for a company with excellent product choices, great pricing, sturdy shipping packaging and quick delivery!

I am so glad to hear the tires worked out great for you! When mounting a tire with a fender, keep in mind that you usually want about 4 inches between the tire and the fender. This allows for maximum suspension travel so that your tire will not rub on the inside of the fender.
Always a positive experience from trailer! Fast shipping, great selection of products. Highly recommend them for all your trailer needs.
The tire & wheel is going to be used as a spare on a 2023 Marlon boat trailer. I was kind of nervous about the hole spacing because my measurements weren’t really accurate.
It was a perfect fit & the galvanizing is nice & thick on the wheel. The tire is exactly the same diameter as mine & I couldn’t be happier..
Thank you..

The tire & wheel are holding up great. The thick galvanizing on the wheel shows no sign of any corrosion & the tire has been treated with 303 protectant to prevent UV damage.

High quality product at a fair price. Ordered the offset wheel bracket for mounting the wheel and that installed very quickly and securely. I appreciate the product being made in America. Just read some of the reviews on Amazon and you’ll see the difference.
