• Trailer Tire Recommendation to Replace 155/80-13
  The tire size you have is not designed for use on a trailer as it's a passenger vehicle tire size. That's actually what the "P" in the tire size references. You want a tire size that starts with ST which means it's for a trailer application. The closest trailer tire size is the size ST185/80-13 which for that I recommend the Westlake part # LHWL101 which is a radial tire with a higher speed rating and a warranty that includes roadside assistance and tire replacement. This tire also has...

• Increasing Wheel/Tire Size on Carry-On Utility Trailer
  You do indeed have a 12 inch rim. When you measure the diameter of the wheel, you'll need to measure the diameter of he wheel where the tire bead meets the wheel. I've provided you a cutaway diagram of a wheel showing where the measurement would be taken. Given the tire size, you have a 12 inch rim. There are a few things you'd need to check before going with the larger 13 inch wheel w/ 175/80-13 tire. The 175/80-13 tire is approximately 3-1/2 inches larger in diameter, which would bring...

• How to Select Trailer Tires with Correct Load Range Rating for Trailer Gross Weight
  Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety margin. A tire's rated Load Range means the maximum weight load it can handle (when installed on a suitably-rated wheel) at its full rated PSI pressure. Trailer tires must always be fully-inflated to their maximum rated pressure as noted on their...

• Recommended Replacement Tires for Aliner Camper When Tires Are Rubbing Inside Of Fenders
  Thanks for the photo of your camper. Looks like a nice area. I was able to find the owner's manual for the Aliner trailer. The tires that came on the trailer originally are 4.80 x 12 and the wheels have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt configuration. The tire also has a section width of 4.9 inches. The tires I recommend for your trailer are the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire, part # AM10062. These are Load Range C tires and have a maximum load rating of 990 lbs at 90 psi. The outer diameter of this...

• Replacement Valve Stem For AM30660 Wheel and Tire Combo
  Hi Phuc, I can definitely see why that raised a red flag for you, especially with your tires needing 90 PSI. You’re absolutely right to question a valve stem that’s only rated for 65 PSI, because the stem does need to be rated at or above the tire’s required pressure. For your wheel and tire combo part # AM30660 the correct replacement is the Replacement Rubber Snap In Valve Stem rated up to 100 PSI, part # AM93FV. That rating properly supports your 90 PSI tires, so you can replace...

• Recommendation for 4.80 x 12 Trailer Tire and Wheel Combo for Highway Speeds
  We have numerous 4.8-12 tire/wheel combos available depending on the bolt pattern you need. For a 4 on 4 bolt pattern, I recommend Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12 inch White Wheel, # AM30620. This is a load range C tire with a 6 ply rating and 990 pound capacity at 90 psi. It comes with a 12 inch white rim. This tire/wheel combo is rated for a maximum speed of 65 miles per hour. For a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, I recommend Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12 inch White Wheel,...

• Choosing a Spare Tire and Wheel for a Jet Ski Triton Trailer
  You are on the right track. Either the # AM30660 or the # AM30670 would work fine for you. The AM30660 features a white powder coat finish, while the AM30670 has a galvanized finish. It would be up to your individual preference as to which wheel is better for you. The 3.19 pilot diameter refers to the hole in the center of the wheel that the hub grease cap passes through. The section width refers to the distance from the widest point of the outer sidewall to the widest point of its inner...

• Best 14 Inch Trailer Tires for an 8,000 Pound Tandem Axle Trailer
  The load range tire you use will depend on how many axles the trailer has and the size needed. If you are just replacing tires and not the wheels as well then I just need to know the size indicated on the tire sidewall. If you are replacing the tires and the wheels then in addition to the size I will need to know the bolt pattern of the wheels. I have included a link below to our help articles on determining wheel bolt pattern and trailer tires.

• Recommended Larger Sized Wheels For Jayco Pop-Up Camper With 5.70-8 Wheels
  Hey Travis, The next size up would be a 4.80-12 trailer tire/wheel, which would have an overall diameter of roughly 20.7" compared to the 18" - 19" overall diameter of a 5.70-8 wheel/tire. If you have a 4 on 4 bolt pattern you could go with the Kenda # AM30620. If you have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern then you could go with the Kenda # AM30660.

• Spare Wheel and Tire for Boat Trailer With 4.80-12
  Since you have 4.80-12 tires those must be 12" wheels. I'm sure you measured the overall wheel diameter and not the aactual diameter which is measured between the bead seats. That would explain your 13" measurement. For 4.80-12 tires with a wheel that has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern we have the following: -Loadstar 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # AM30670 -Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range...

• Can Larger Trailer Tires be Put on a Trailer with 4.80-12 Trailer Tires
  You can potentially use new tires and wheels on your trailer as long as there is clearance all around the existing tires for the larger size. Going to a 13 inch like with # AM31985 you will need at least 1.8 inches clearance above the existing tires and 2.095 inches at the back between the trailer and tire for the wider size. Trailer tire and wheel combo # AM31985 is a radial tire with steel wheel, 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. It is a load range D rated for 1,610 pounds at 65 psi. Please note...

• High Speed Replacement 4.80-12 Replacement Tire and Wheel With 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern
  You could do the Kenda # AM30660 and safely pull at 65 mph. This is our only option for a pre-mounted tire and wheel combo. I strongly recommend going with a tire with a higher speed rating, but to do this they will not come mounted on the wheel. You would buy them separately and have them mounted at a local shop when they arrive. For your tire, I suggest the Taskmaster 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire 12" load range C # TT48012C because these tires are rated for 81 mph. Then for your wheels...

• Can a Load Range C Tire Replace a Load Range B Tire
  The Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire # AM30660 that has the 12" white wheel will work just fine for your boat trailer needs. This combination does have the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt hole pattern and comes in a load range C (990 lbs at 90 psi). You can use a tire with a lower weight rating as long as you are not overloading the tire. This is one of the bigger reasons for blowouts. Although it does cost more, I recommend going with the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire # AM31202 instead....

• Trailer Modifications and 8 inch to 12 or 13 inch Tire and Wheel Upgrade Recommendations
  To upgrade to a larger tire you will have to upgrade to a larger wheel as well, and with that in mind you will want to make sure that the bolt pattern of your new wheel and tires match the existing bolt pattern on your current trailer. I have included a helpful article explaining how to determine the bolt pattern of your existing wheels. Depending on the existing bolt pattern on that your trailer is currently set up for I recommend the following: 4.80-12 - 4 on 4 bolt pattern # AM30620;...

• 4.80-12 Load Range C Tires Run At 90 PSI?
  The Taskmaster 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # AM30660 are similar to what you describe. The psi level on trailer tires is higher than most other tires. They are made differently and that 90 lb psi is actually what they are to be run at when filled cold. As they heat up from running, they will get higher yet. This rating even though it is listed as max psi is what they are to be constantly run at...there isn't a minimum. Running the trailer...

• Replacement Tire Recommendation for ST155/80-13 on Trailer
  The closest tire size to the ST155/80R13 you have is the ST175/80-13. I did some calculations on the tire sizes and found that the difference between the 175/80R13 and the 155/80R13 is pretty small. The 175/80 is 24 inches inches tall whereas the 155/80 is 22.7 inches tall for a difference of 1.3 inches total, but that difference needs to be split since the overall diameter is split since the wheel rotates on the axle. So basically the wheel will take up an additional .65 inches of your...

• Replacing 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tires With Radial Trailer Tires
  Your current bias 5.70-8 tires like the Kenda K353 # AM10010 measure 18.1" in diameter and are 5.8" wide. The closest size to that for radial tires are 4.80R12 trailer tires, which are 20.6" in diameter and 4.8" wide. This means you will also need new wheels, but the overall size is important because with trailer tires, the general rule of thumb is you want at least 3" of clearance from the top of the tire to your fender and at least 1" of clearance between the inside of the tire and your...

• Recommended Tire To Replace ST155/80D13 Tires That Is The Same Size Or Slightly Smaller
  You are correct, the closest tire size to the 155/80D13 tires on your boat trailer is going to be the ST145/R12 which will be about 1-1/2" shorter and 1/2" narrower overall. Since this tire uses a different size wheel you will need to order new wheels as well. To make sure you order the correct wheels you will need to measure the bolt pattern of your current wheels following the included help article. If you find you have the common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern then I recommend the Kenda...

• Can a 13 Inch Tire and Wheel Replace a 12 Inch Tire and Wheel
  There are a couple of factors that will determine if you are able to use a larger size tire and wheel on your trailer. First you will want to make sure that your trailer hub will accept a larger size wheel. Many of the trailer hub assemblies we offer that are compatible with 12 inch wheels are not compatible with 13 or 14 inch wheels. Only a small number of hubs will accommodate both a 12 inch wheel or a 13 inch wheel. To determine if your hub can accept a wheel 13 inches or larger, you...

• Can a Smaller Wheel and Tire Be Used on a Trailer If the Capacity is High Enough
  As long as you match up the bolt pattern of your current rims with the ones you go with you should have no problem replacing your 6.90 x 9 rims and tires. I attached a help article on determining bolt pattern for you to check out as well. It is perfectly fine to go with a smaller wheel/tire as long as you have the capacity needed. The closest we are able to get to the dimensions of your tire size is the part # AM3H410. This is a 8-ply bias tire and has a maximum load rating of 1,330...

• Recommended Replacement Tire for 5 x 8 Utility Trailer
  The # AM30140 wheel/tire combo you'd looked at would work well, assuming your existing wheels have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. The tires are rated up to 65 mph, so they'd be safe at reasonable highway speeds. If you wish, you could go up in size to a 4.80-12 tire/wheel like # AM30660 which would move your tire 1 inch closer to the fender. You'll want to make sure you have at least 3 inches of clearance between the top of the tire and the underside of the fender when the trailer is loaded...

• Determining if Larger Diameter Snowmobile Trailer Tires Can Be Installed
  The metric size equivalent of the 18.5 x 8.5 - 8 tire size on your snowmobile trailer is the ST215/60-8 size, such as # AM1HP28 which is a tire only and # AM3H325 which is this tire size mounted on a galvanized 8-inch wheel with a 5-on-4-1/2-inch bolt pattern. You may be able to use larger wheels/tires on your trailer so long as you can match up the bolt pattern on your hubs and so long as you have enough clearance in the wheel wells to fit a larger tire. The overall diameter of your current...

• Importance of Trailer Wheel Pilot Hole Diameter
  The importance of matching a wheel's pilot hole diameter to the part of the hub that fits through it depends on the type of wheel. A hub-centric wheel uses the pilot hole to center the wheel on the hub and also to bear some of the total weight load (the rest going on the wheel bolts). Hub-centric wheels typically use wheel bolts rather than lug nuts to attach to the hub. If your wheels are hub-centric, you would want new wheels with the same pilot hole diameter as your current wheels because...
