This tire and wheel combo is made for dependable use on the road. The Kenda 4.80-12 bias tire carries up to 990 lbs at 90 psi, matching a 12" x 4" galvanized steel wheel rated at 1,250 lbs. Both meet Department of Transportation specs for strength and highway reliability. It’s a solid setup that handles long drives and loaded trips with ease.
There’s no need to schedule a mounting appointment or fuss with air pressure when this arrives. The tire comes already seated on the wheel and aired to proper pressure, so it’s ready to bolt on. That convenience gets you back on the road fast without extra shop time or mounting costs.
Corrosion doesn’t stand a chance here. The 8-spoke steel wheel is fully galvanized for protection against rust, ideal for use in wet or humid conditions. Whether it sees rain, spray, or salty air, the finish keeps its integrity so you can count on it season after season.
The bias-ply design uses thick nylon cords set at a 30-45° angle in alternating layers, giving the sidewalls extra stiffness so the entire tire flexes evenly. That means better stability and smoother handling when towing over uneven terrain or rough pavement—exactly what you want from a hardworking trailer tire.
This combo comes with a 5-year tire warranty and a limited 2-year wheel warranty. Plus, there’s a 1-Year Worry-Free Guarantee—if the tire is damaged for any reason in the first 12 months, it’s replaced at no charge. That kind of coverage keeps your setup protected from day one.
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"

Arrived promptly and in good condition. Price included free shipping and tire age @<5 months. Huge upgrade from 4.80x8 trailer tires. Pleased with the purchase process
These galvanized wheels were perfect for my utility trailer. Great price, delivered fast, installed easily and make the trailer look new.
I'd highly recommend the galvanized type over the white painted style.
Great tire/wheel combo. Fit perfectly. Came inflated to around 50 PSI, so was ready to use once installed. Delivery was very clean. Both wheels packed in a long, narrow box. Easy to handle. Would buy this again.

Wheels & tires still holding up well after a year!
I purchased 2 new tires for boat trailer and within a year one tire completely flat due to valve stem issue. So, I would recommend buying a valve stem kit with tire or be prepared to pay over 25% of tire value to have shop repair since I was told it was not covered under the 12 month worry free warranty.
Very happy with the 2 4.80X12 tires and wheels from etrailer.com. Ordered on a Saturday and delivered to my door on Wednesday. Fast shipping and quality products at a great price! For use on a used boat trailer I picked up to haul my fishing kayak. Will order from this seller again!
Quality product at a fair price with On Time Delivery.
can't beat them for the price. I don't know if I would take a long highway trip with them but for going to and from lakes in my state they are perfect.

working great, the tread held up well, great value for the money.
Got a set of these for my single place PWC trailer. I converted it to a 2 place stand up trailer and replaced the wheels/tires along with most everything else. These wheels look great and ride nicely.
Tip: Use one of your old wheels/tire as a spare. Order a spare tire holder from etrailer.
Put these on my boat trailer as the original ones were dry rotted. Wheels look better than the painted ones. Tires are good quality.No more tire worries!
Horrible Quality! Rim had many manufacturer defects and was bent and out of balance since day one. The tire was properly inflated and had a blowout after only a few hundred miles. Quality control is lacking. Spend your money on a quality rim and tire. This isn't one!
I was trailering a 650+ pound boat and motor on little 8 inch tires and knew I was on borrowed time before a highway blowout. These upped my load capacity from 575 to 990 pounds. Ordered two sets of rims/tires as replacements plus a spare. They came well-boxed.Manufacturing date was about 10 months ago. Changed them in my driveway with a small floor jack placed under the axle right under the leaf springs in less than an hour, with the boat on the trailer. As others mentioned, the galvanizing is thorough but rough in spots. Be sure to check tire pressure before installing;mine arrived with very little air in them. Quick shipping. A good value. I'm happy. Recommended.
VALVE STEM WAS CRACKED. THE TIRE WOULD NOT HOLD AIR. HAD TO REPLACE THE VALVE STEM
1 year on and these tires still look good and work as expected. Still happy with my purchase.
Order processing and shipping is very fast. Faster than Amazon.
Happy with this purchase and the customer support received. When I first ordered I didn't realize there was a galvanized wheel, nor that there was a tire with a higher load capacity in the size I needed. etrailer sent me a shipping label to return the first tire, and I wound up getting two. One year later, no rust on the rims, tires have been performing well on my canoe trailer, and holding their air well. Stored outside, my only concern is that weather will 'retire' them before mileage does which is typical of any trailer tire I think.
The tire I had originally picked on etrailer for my motorcycle trailer was out of stock but I needed them for a motorcycle trip I was leaving for that same week. An etrailer staff person (James) notified me immediately and helped me find a equal replacement that arrived on time at no extra cost. I am very pleased with the tires he recommended. They performed exceptionally well on my trip.
Great product and even greater service!

Still very happy with my trailer tires! Great product and I have had zero issues with them.
purchased 2 tires and rims. on the 4th trip one tire had a blowout. ok, maybe i ran over something. on the following 3rd trip, the other tire had a blowout. 2 blowouts within a year ! always checked the tire pressure before each trip . never buying again this brand again.
My whole experience from start to finish couldn't have gone any smoother. i called eTrailer with alot of questions. I needed to go from an 8 inch tire to a 12" tire,they were nice,knowledgeable and pateint. i found the tires and the wheels i wanted and had them within two days of ordering. just put them on my boat trailer and they look great!

its been over a year since i got these tires. After many trips and many miles they are still working great. Would and will definitely buy these again.
This is my iceboat trailer with new wheels and improved fender brackets. Rust prevention is my main goal on this order. The price was lower than the local store. The delivery was completed in under 48 hours. Amazing! I believe the former white painted wheels were purchased about 10 years ago. They need restoration. The tires might have 2000 miles on them. I recommend galvanized wheels as in this new order. Two wheel and tires for under $100!! Fantastic – and much cheaper than the local tire dealer who offers white painted wheels that rust - by over $20. And free shippng.
By the way, each fender now has two brackets as suggested by eTrailer.

The trailer sat in the woods all summer,since it is a iceboat trailer used in winter. I just pulled it home from the cabin. The wheels look perfect. They have a silver finish, not white paint. Happy!
Easy to order came in a timely manner at a great price and works great
Got these tires for my boat trailer. Easy to order and they were here in two days free shipping. I don’t know how well they perform yet. They look to be good quality though. It was easier and less time consuming for me to purchase the tire and rim already mounted than to spend the time trying to mount tires on my old rims.
Trailer tires arrived in just two days. They were well packaged and appear to be in excellent condition. According to their DOT number, they were manufactured only eight months ago.
Perfect fit. Used on a Tuffy trailer to carry a 13’ Boston Whaler. Tiers inflated to 60 lbs upon arrival, so had to add 30 lbs to each to run the required pressure. Trailer initially had ‘B’ rated tires, but opted for the ‘C’ rated tires for the additional plies to increase stability and durability. The trailer ran well with these ‘C’ rated tires. Transferred boat over 900 miles without issue.
Had to return both sets of wheels and tires
as both valve stems broke when filling them
also wheels were welded cheaply
and tire treads were shallow
Tire valve stems are extremely fragile and delicate--1 of three has split at the base releasing air after ~1000 miles. Tire can't be inflated above 20 lbs. Undersized valve stem very small in diameter, seems too delicate for the intended use.
