Features to know about

Built for Serious Loads and Real Highway Speeds: Load Range E, 10-Ply with 81-mph Rating

When you’re running long hauls or carrying a full load, this setup is made to hold steady. The Karrier S-Trail radial tire has a ply rating of 10 and carries up to 1,520 lbs at 80 psi, paired with a durable aluminum wheel rated for the same 1,520 lbs. It’s speed rated M for 81 mph and meets DOT specs, so it’s ready for highway use without worry about heat or load stress.

Rustproof Confidence in Any Weather: Aluminum AM02 Wheel with Clear-Coat Protection

Corrosion doesn’t get a foothold here. The 12" diameter x 4" wide aluminum AM02 wheel is lightweight, strong, and fully rustproof. Its split-spoke design features a machined face and a clear-coat finish on both sides that stands up to scuffs, scratches, and road grime. Even in wet or humid conditions, it keeps its clean, sharp look season after season.

Smooth Tracking and Long Life: Radial Construction with Premium Rubber Compound

The Karrier S-Trail radial uses double steel belts and full nylon plies for stability and long tread life. A computer-generated tread design with premium rubber compound provides solid traction in wet or dry conditions and helps the tire run cooler on extended trips. That combination gives the steady tracking and sure grip you’d expect from a well-built radial tire.

Ready Assurance When It Counts: 1-Year Worry-Free Guarantee

Peace of mind is built in. If this tire is damaged in any way within the first 12 months, it’s replaced at no charge under the 1-year worry-free guarantee. The wheel itself carries a 2-year limited warranty, so the whole assembly is backed for real-world use mile after mile.

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.

Center to Center
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).

Center to Outside Edge
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

Exactly what I needed. Shipped super fast. Great follow up from Etrailer.

Nice price, fast shipping easy checkout they look awesome, glad I ordered from you.



by:

They certainly look great. Hope road performance is as good



by:

I was blown away by this tire & wheel combo, An amazing price for an alloy wheel with a quality, load range E, 81 mph tire. And the tire is made in Taiwan, NOT China! The shipping box was heavy duty and perfect for shipping a pair of wheels. The entire customer service experience could not have been better. From acknowledging receipt of the order to keeping me updated, the folks at etrailer were fantastic. I had considered another online retailer whose price was $15 cheaper per wheel (for a galv wheel and cheaper tire). But they wanted to charge $60.00 shipping. The bottom line is that I spent $30 less overall for much higher quality wheels and tires. Thank you etrailer!



by:

Looks great in the box, havent put them on yet.



by:

Need to order another for a spare, it was to ugly.

by:

Fantastic upgrade from what I had. Definitely happy with purchase. Put them on my jetski trailer.



by:

Spare tire. Looks like it will work.



by:

Awesome quality wheels, 1k miles so far and they ran great, like new! I wish they didn't use such good glue on the sticker, or put the sticker on the tread instead of the sidewall, small gripe, but it is unsightly as I haven't put the effort into cleaning them yet.



by:

Wheels & Tires arrived very quickly. Packaged in heavy cardboard box everything looks good. Mounted them on the boat trailer. Just waiting for nice weather to use them. I’ve bought from ETrailer in the passed and they’ve always been great on prices and delivery.



by:

No problems at all. It did come in a day later than promised, but I'm not sure how they were going to get it to me that fast anyway. Still super fast delivery without issues.



by:

They look great out of the box. Now all I need is snow to head north with the trailer.



by:

Replaced 2 year old tires. Perfect fit and made the trailer ride so much smoother. It was a VERY noticeable improvement and now I can travel at highway speed. Great look too!

Right out of the box, mark me impressed. These really made my Sea-Doo trailer look finished. They are not much more than the steel spoke wheels with the same tires.



by:

Quality look and feel. Replaced 4.80x12 bias with 145 R12’s. Glad I did and they look great on the jet ski trailer.



by:

Super easy to work with etrailer and find the right tire for our tow dolly. Great communication and updates throughout.

  • Can 4.80-12 Tire Replace ST145/R12 Load Range E Tire
    Hi Andrew; in terms of size it is close but the 4.80-12 is going to be shorter and and narrower. It also has a significantly lower capacity compared to a 145/12 load range E tire. I would stick with the same size and get the # KE46EV as a replacement. This also a load range of E with a max load of 1,520 lbs at 80 psi.

  • Aluminum Tire/Wheel Combo To Replace 4.80-12 Tires On A Load Rite PWC Trailer
    Hi Hector! A 4.80-12 tire/wheel combo will typically have a 20.7" diameter and a 4.9" width. I mention this as you want to have around 3" of clearance from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender and roughly 1.5" of clearance from the sidewall of the tire to the sidewall of the fender/frame.

  • What Are Advantages Of Aluminum Wheels Over Steel Wheels
    Hey Hugh, welcome back! Aluminum wheels like the ones found on # KE46EV can run cooler. They are a better conductor so they do a better job dissipating heat. They're typically lighter, although not always, and really stand out when it comes to corrosion resistance. Do you have radial tires now? The one listed above, or the Karrier S-Trail Radial Trailer Tire # KE29EV you were looking at, are both radial tires. These will be more reliable overall and a nice upgrade if you have bias tires...

  • What Limits Speed on Small Trailer
    The speed rating of those trailers just comes down to the tires that are being used. All you'd need to do is swap the tires to something with a higher speed rating. If you get me the tire size I can help find best option.
