• Replacement Hubs and Spare Wheel/Tire for Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer
  Hey Nick! Since your # K2MMT5X7 VIN number starts with L1 you need the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles # AKIHUB-545-2-2K. This comes with new bearings and seals and is pre-greased and ready to go. The trailer comes with 5.30-12 Load Range C tires so for a spare you can use the # AM30850 or # AM30859. We don't have an exact match with the silver wheel so white or galvanized are the only options. If you need anything else feel free to reach out in the comments below.

• Recommended 5.30-12 Tire And Wheel Combo For A John Boat Trailer
  Hey Zack, Because of the speed rating you're looking for you'll be limited to the Taskmaster # TA69QR (Silver) or # TA79QR (White) if you have a 4 on 4 wheel bolt pattern. If you have a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern then you'll need the # TT53012C and would have to pick wheels like the # AM20132 separately and have them mounted. Each of these options has speed rating M (81mph) and would be the highest speed rating we currently offer under the 5.30-12 tire size.

• Is It Safe To Inflate A 5.30-12 Tire To 80 PSI?
  Hello Alan, thanks for reaching out. Trailer tires should always be inflated to the max PSI listed on the sidewall. They are not like vehicle/car tires in that regard. Vehicle tires are designed more with ride comfort in mind, while trailer tires are designed to carry weight. Trailer tires are only rated for their max load when they are inflated to their max PSI. Otherwise, the actual max capacity is unknown. It is completely safe and normal for the 5.30-12 tires to be inflated to 80 PSI....

• Replacement Tire For A Carlisle Sport Trail LH 5.30-12 On A Jet Ski Trailer
  Hi Robby! We definitely have options available for you, but we do not currently carry the Carlisle tires. That said, the 5.30-12 tire is fairly common and the following two options would be good replacements: Taskmaster 5.30R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C - 21.9" Outer Diameter x 5.6" Wide # TT53012C Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 5.30-12 - Load Range C - 21.57" Outer Diameter x 5.4" Wide # AM10066 I prefer radial tires as they run cooler and tend to last longer, but figured I...

• Want To Add Second Axle And Tires To Single Axle Karavan Pontoon Trailer
  Hello Bill, thanks for reaching out. We do offer the 5.30-12 tire/wheel combos like the Kenda # AM30850 which comes on a galvanized 5 on 4-1/2" wheel. As far as the axle, we do carry some 3.5K axles that may work for you, but I will first need to know the hub face (HF) length, and spring center (SC) length of the current axle. It will be critical that the new axle is identical to the current. There should be a tag on the axle that has this info, or if not you will have to measure. For...

• Is The Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel Available in Radial Instead of Bias
  We do not have a radial tire available in 5.30-12. and you will likely have a hard time finding one. The radial equivalent of the 5.30-12 is the ST145/R12. There is the Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30850 you were looking at for the 5.30-12 bias tire or the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire w/ 12" Galvanized Spoke Wheel # AM31202 for the ST145/R12 radial tire. The wheels and tires do not come pre-balanced. Most wheels and tires will not come pre-balanced...

• Best 12 Inch Galvanized Tires and Rims for Small Boat Trailer
  A radial tire flexes more than a bias tire, giving it better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread wear. Radial tires generally run cooler than bias tires, which usually leads to a longer life for radials. I would recommend going with a radial tire if possible, but provided you heed limits such as load range and psi, a bias tire will also work. We currently offer three different tire sizes that have 12 inch diameters and galvanized 5-lug rims. You can check your current tires to...

• What is the Speed Rating on a 5.30x12 Trailer Tire
  Many times, trailer tires do not have a speed rating. The tires that we carry are rated for up to 65 miles per hour unless otherwise indicated on the tire sidewall. Since 185/80-12 is not a common trailer tire size, it would require going to a 13 inch wheel and you may or may not have clearance around the tire for the larger size. There is a 145/80-12 trailer tire size that will be about a half inch wider than a 5.30x12. I have included a link to them for you to view and a link on trailer...

• Product Differences Between Wheel and Tire Package AM30850 and AM30861
  The Difference in these two packages is the tires that are on them. The load ratings are different and thus will each respond different when driving. I suggest going with the tire that your trailer is specified to use. # AM30850 Utilizes a Load Range C tire that has a wheel capacity of 1,045lbs. Max inflation pressure is 80psi, which gives this tire more absorption when driving which will equal a smoother ride. # AM30861 Utilizes a Load Range D tire that has a wheel capacity of 1,250lbs....

• Benefits of Upgrading to 5.30-12 or 175/80-13 Tires On a Boat Trailer
  The benefits of upgrading to larger tires are better weigh ratings, higher speed capacity, larger wheel/tire selection as well as reduced wear/tear on the hubs. If you have the needed space then this is a great option. The 5.30-12 tires are 21.9" diameter x 5.6" wide, I recommend the Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel part # AM30850. The 175/80-13 tires are 24.1" diameter x 7" wide, I recommend the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" Galvanized Wheel...

• 5.30-12 Tire and Wheel Options for a 2006 Rockwood Forest River Freedom Pop-Up Camper
  We currently have 10 different tire and wheel options for a 5.30-12 size. There are 2 different bolt patterns, so you would need to determine if you have a 4 on 4 or 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. I have included a help article that helps with figuring that out and I have included the options for each bolt pattern below. 4 on 4 - Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30790 - Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" White Wheel # AM30780 - Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire...

• What Are The Torque Specs And PSI Rating For Kenda 5.30-12 Galvanized?
  It looks like your Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # AM30850 uses 1/2" lug bolts/nuts. If this is correct, then the correct torque specs would be 75-85 ft.-lb. If you are using something other than 1/2" lug bolts/nuts then use the chart I attached which shows the various torque specs. It is recommended to inflate trailer tires to the max psi, in this case, 80psi. If the tires are under-inflated then you could risk a blow out and the...

• Advice on Tires for a Boat Trailer
  I would guess that your problem is a combination of a number of things. First off they are getting old. We usually recommend getting new trailer tires at about 5 years and definitely keeping them no longer than 7 regardless of the mileage on them. Also, the # AM30850 tires have a maximum psi of 80 psi. Trailer tires should always be inflated to their maximm psi when they're cold. Since you're only running yours at around 60 you're not getting the full capacity of the tires and you're...

• Are Carlisle 5.30-12 Tire, Load Range C, the Same as Kenda Loadstar 5.30-12 Tire, Load Range C
  The Carlisle 5.30-12 tire and the Loadstar 5.30-12 Tire, # AM30850, are very similar. They are the same size and have the same load range rating (load range C). A tire with a C load range should have a ply rating of 6. So in size, load range, and ply rating, they have the same specifications. A tire can have a 6-ply rating (load range C) and not necessarily have 6 plies listed on the sidewall of the tire. The ply ratings were introduced when tires used cotton layers to strengthen a tire...

• Recommended 5.30-12 Load Range C Wheel/Tire Combo for Shorelandr Boat Trailer
  If your Shorelandr boat trailer has a 5 lug wheel, it'll have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern but if you wish you can measure it. This is really simple to do, just measure the distance between two adjacent wheel studs, center to center. If the distance is 2-5/8 inches, then you've confirmed it's a 5 on 4-1/2. The # AM30820 wheel/tire combo you referred to is a 5.30-12 bias ply Load Range C tire on a white spoked 12 x 4 inch wheel. It'd make an okay choice for a spare but for marine use...

• What Is The Speed Rating Of Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire With 12 Wheel AM30850
  Most trailer tires, including wheel and tire combo Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # AM30850, have a speed rating of 65mph. The only other option available that does have a higher speed rating (81mph) is Taskmaster 5.30R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C # TT53012C which is just a replacement tire and does not come with a wheel. If you need the wheel also then you can use Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel - 12" x 4" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized...

• Suggested Spare Tire For a Haul-Master Trailer
  From what I could find out about the wheels on the Haul-Master trailers, they do utilize a 5.30-12 tire and wheel combo. The Kenda 5.30-12 with 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern # AM30740 will definitely fit. That being said, it does have a B weight rating, which means it is rated to 840 pounds. The tires that come with the Haul-Master tires look to have a C rating, which will be 1,045 pounds. A few better options will be the Kenda # AM30850 with a C rating (1,045 pounds), or the Kenda # AM30859...

• Wheel Size Compatible With Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # e84YR
  The Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # e84YR is only able to use 8"-12" wheels due to its weight capacity. Since this axle is rated for 2,000lbs you will need to use wheels and tires near that same rating. If you were to use 15" wheels and tires like the Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" White Spoke Wheel # AM32395 that has a weight rating of 1,820lbs per tire, the tire will not flex and the added stress will transfer to axle and risks damage to the hub/spindle.

• Replacing a ST155/80R13 Tire on a Trailer with Very Little Fender/Tire Clearance
  The 155/80R13 tires aren't around much anymore and are increasingly hard to find. The closest match is in fact the 175/80D13. They are 1.2 inches wider in diameter, meaning they are only 0.6 inches closer to the frame (half of 1.2). If these are making contact with the frame (you should have at least 3 inches of clearance), then there are some things you can do to improve those clearance issues. One thing you can do is to use a lift kit, especially an over-under lift kit like the Dexter...

• Recommended Galvanized Wheel and Tire Combination with 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern for a PWC Trailer
  You will want to select your tire and wheel combination based on the gross weight capacity of your PWC trailer axle. This rating should be listed on the trailer tongue as GAWR. With that number you would select a tire and wheel that has a capacity rating of roughly 1/2 of the GAWR. Selecting a combination that is rated slightly higher than the axle would be better than selecting one that is lower in capacity. The load range D tire that we carry, Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12...

• Does Larger Size Trailer Tire Need to be Used for Highway Use
  As long as there is room inside your fenders the Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30850 will work just fine for your trip.
