Features to know about

Made to Handle Real Workloads: Load Range B Rated for 590 lbs at 60 psi

This Kenda Loadstar K371 Bias Trailer Tire is built and tested to exceed Department of Transportation standards, so it’s ready for consistent duty. With a Load Range B rating and a maximum load of 590 lbs at 60 psi, it delivers reliable strength for smaller trailers that still see real miles. The 4-ply construction keeps the casing tough without adding unnecessary weight or stiffness.

Smooth Tracking on Uneven Ground: Bias-Ply Construction with Reinforced Nylon Cords

The bias design uses thick nylon cords positioned at a 30- to 45-degree angle, alternating in a crisscross pattern. That makes the sidewalls more rigid while letting the whole tire flex together over bumps and ruts. The result is a stable, controlled ride that holds steady when you’re rolling across driveways, gravel, or rough terrain.

Built for Confidence at Highway Speeds: 65-mph Rating with Proven Durability

Even though it’s small in diameter at 16.1", this tire holds its own on the open road. Every 4.80/4.00-8 Kenda bias tire in this series carries a 65-mph speed rating, so you can run highway speeds without worry about heat buildup or early wear when properly inflated to max pressure.

Ready Support When You Need It: 5-Year Limited Warranty and 1-Year Worry-Free Guarantee

Kenda backs this tire with a 5-year limited warranty plus a 1-year worry-free guarantee that covers replacement if it’s damaged in the first year. That kind of backing adds peace of mind when you’re depending on your gear to keep rolling season after season.

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"

@Michael You know what, Michael, that's great to hear!


by:

These tires are perfect in every way. What I received was exactly what I was expecting. I would absolutely recommend etrailer for tire needs.



by:

Replacing old leaking tires for a 14 Aluminum John Boat trailer. Mounted fairly easy the old fashioned way. Still holding 45 psi 24 hours later.



by:

Much better than the wheel barrow tires I was using. 4 ply instead of 2 ply. Worked great on the old Gravely Pro Master mower. Hopefully less flat tires.



by:

The tires per se were ok. The problem was that they were crushed pretty much flat, probably while in storage, and they were very difficult to get mounted on the wheels. Once mounted and with new tubes installed, I have had no further issues.



by:

etrailer always comes thru! Competitive pricing, order updates from placing to delivery and reliable UPS shipping. The tires were put on my oldie but, goodie wood splitter.



by:

Came crushed flat. Had quite a struggle to get it open enough to put it on the rim. When I did finally get it on the rim I wasn’t able to get the beads to spread out to the rim so I could pt air in it. I had to take it to a local tire shop who had a large tank of air used for inflating large truck tires. I’ll never get a tire here again. Next time I’ll go to Tractor Supply or someone else that has tires not deformed.



by:

Great tire! A little tough for me to wrestle onto the rim, but my buddy Charlie did it easily with tire spoons. It is tubeless, it sealed really well, it's DOT approved for highway use, and it is a perfect fit for my heavy duty 7/8 axle utility trailer. For my off road use it will live forever! Thank you.



by:

I had trouble getting this tire locally but you guys had it at an excellent price.Your shipping was extremely fast and reasonable.

I have an old wheelbarrow that takes this size tire. This trailer tire is much higher quality and carries much more weight than an ordinary wheelbarrow tire. Installation was simple using the old tube. I am very happy with this product and the service.



by:

The tire arrived quickly and was reasonably priced. However,I noticed that it was quite distorted. It mounted on the rim easily enough but getting the bead to seat was a nightmare. Several sessions in the sun and lots of cursing with the ratchet strap I managed to get the distorted and squished part to seal enough to seat the bead. I've purchased many tires and mounted them before but I never had one in such s twisted, flattened shape. Otherwise the tire seems fine.



by:

etrailer shipping and price were GREAT!

The
issue I have is with the tire itself. The date code is nearly 2 years old and they arrive looking like it. Smashed into a pancake that took a lot of time with my straps, tire changer and warming up in the sun to mount and seat. Fortunately I have a motorcycle tire changer and am experienced with tires to get them mounted and seated.

No wonder all the local places only sell the tire mounted on the wheel!



by:

My wheelbarrow got a flat...again. So I tried a different route. It's a trailer tire but I noticed it is 8in, the same as my wheelbarrow. This is a much more robust tire than the ribbed [tire] that typically lives there. I think the load rating is like 750lbs, way more than I will ever put in there. Anyway if you want to put a truly heavy duty tire on you wheelbarrow, this is it. etrailer had the best price and it got here fast.



by:

Its not so much your product its your storage methods. You pride your shelves as being for the DIYers your tires are distorted from improperly storing them.



by:

Exactly what I ordered. Customer rep Lauren was fantastic and found just what I needed. Great price and and fast processing the order



by:

Shipping was quick, product was as described. Quality product



by:

Perfect fit



by:

Kenda tires are shipped by the thousands from Asia, compacted flat on their sides, and arrive looking like skinny frisbees and are nearly impossible to mount. I knew I was buying cheap for a cheap project but you should know these tires are horrible.
I like you guys and will buy from you again, but never Kenda tires!

It's common for bias ply trailer tires to be shipped in that manner. A good, high volume tire shop should have no problem getting them mounted.



by:

The tire received had a problem for me. One of the beads was badly warped but I thought with my simple tire mounting equipment I'd have no problem. I was wrong!
No amount of effort would mount the second bead. Even borrowed a Blaster and after several attempts I could not get it to mount. Took it to a tire shop and after much effort, blowing shop air thru the stem on one side while using a blaster on the other finally mounted the tire after several attempts.



by:

Perfect match for an old 1960's era Montgomery-Ward utility trailer I found buried in a junk pile and restored for use on the farm behind ATV and golf cart.

Tires are great!



by:

The tire wasn't damaged but it had been deformed by having stuff stacked on it making it difficult to put on the wheel.
That said, the service was great and the price was fair



by:

I could have saved a few dollars purchasing elsewhere, however, my trust is in etrailer to supply products I can rely on when everything is riding on them. I have not yet installed the tires I have purchased and being the same brand, size, and load range as the ones they are replacing, I have no worries their performance will equal that of the tires they replace. And while fit is important regarding replacement tires, so is their speed rating. Not all tires share the same speed ratings and again, I can be assured these tires meet all legal highway and freeway speed limits in the US.



by:

Great trailer tires, used them for over 10 yrs, never had any issue !



by:

These arrived flattened as others have said. However, I just put the tubes in them for a few hours and they mounted easily. I mounted these without the tubes and used a ratchet strap to help seat them on the rims. I took just over ten minutes for the pair to get mounted. These look great and are very sturdy. I have Kenda tires on my other equipment and have been very happy with the brand. etrailer always meets my expectations with fast delivery and a good price.

They sat all winter in the shop building and were still holding the correct pressure this spring. The tires that came on this trailer had to be aired up every time I used them.

  • Pros/Cons To Replacing Or Upgrading Tires And Wheels On A Pop Up Camper
    Hello Paul. The main factor to consider when replacing/upgrading your tires is the clearance in the fender area. Our rule of thumb is that you want at least 3" between the tire and the fender, and at least 1" between the inside of the tire and the frame of the trailer. If you have already checked and verified that you have adequate clearance, there really is no downside to going with larger tires. One thing to keep in mind when upgrading tires is we do not want to overkill the load rating...

  • What is the Difference Between 4.80/4.00-8 and 5.70-8 Trailer Tires for a Boat Trailer
    Both the 4.80/4.00-8 and 5.70-8 tires sizes will fit the same wheel size, 8 x 3-3/4 inch. The 5.70 is taller by 2 inches and wider by 1.2 inches. If you have more than 1 inch of space between the tire and a fender and more than 1.2 inches between the side of the tire and the trailer then you can use the larger size such as # AM10010 rated for 715 pounds at 50 psi. If you do not have the space then stick with the same size you have, 4.80/4.00-8 using # AM10002 rated for 590 pounds at 60...

  • Wider Tire to Replace 4.80 x 8 Load Range C Tires
    The 4.8 x 8 tires like # AM30060 are 4.7 inches wide and use a 3-3/4 inch wide wheel. For a wider tire I recommend the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 5.70-8 - Load Range C # AM10012. This tire is 5.9 inches wide. This tire will be 18 inches diameter when inflated and is rated for 910 lbs at 75 psi. This tire will not only be wider but will almost be 2 inches taller raising your trailer by about 1 inch. For any other tire, you would also need to replace the wheel.

  • Which is Better for Highway Use 4.80-12 or 5.30-12 Trailer TIres
    The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The wider a tire is the more contact it makes with the road and the more contact with the road the more you are going to feel bumps as you travel. A 4.80-12 tire will be 20.5 inches in diameter whereas a 5.30-12 tire will be 21.9 inches. You would...

  • Will a 5.30 x 12 Trailer Tire Fit the Same Rim as a 4.80 x 12 Trailer Tire
    Yes, a 5.30 x 12 tire will fit the same rim as a 4.80 x 12 tire. Both tire sizes fit on a 4 inch wide rim. There are a couple of things to consider when changing tire sizes. First, the larger 5.30 will be approximately 1.4 inches taller than the 4.80 so you will need to make sure that you have enough clearance above the tire. The 5.30 is also wider by 1/2 an inch so you will need to make sure there is clearance behind the tire as well for the new size. Also, the capacity of the larger...

  • Replacement Tire Recommendation for a Troy Bilt Log Splitter
    Hey Thomas, thanks for reaching out! For a replacement tire I recommend the 4.80/4.00-8 Kenda Loadstar K371 # AM10002 which is a Load Range B (590 lbs at 60 psi), but when it comes to a wheel, you're either going to need to use the exact same one you're currently using, or you'll need to get a whole need tire/wheel combo from the manufacturer. All of our wheels install using wheel studs, but when I looked up your log splitter it looks like the wheels secure directly to the spindle, so...

  • What is the Difference Between Load Range B and C Trailer Tires
    Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same size but it will not increase the capacity of the trailer. If you go with tire # AM10004 it is rated for 745 pounds at 90 psi. And tire # AM10002 is rated for 590 pounds at 60 psi. Both tires will fit 8 inch x 3-3/4 inch wheels. I have included...

  • Will a 4.80-8 Trailer Tire Fit in Place of a 4.00-8 Tire
    Yes, a 4.80-8 tire will fit in place of a 4.00-8 tire. That is why a lot of times you will see both sizes in the product's title or description and even on the actual tire, such as # AM10002. This is a load range B tire rated for 590 pounds at 60 psi. I have linked a video review of this tire for you.

  • Will 5.70-8 Tires Fit The Same Rims as 4.80/4.00-8 Tires
    Hi Ralph; 4.80/4.00-8 tires like # AM10002 typically fit 8" x 3-3/4" rims. The same is true for a 5.70-8 tire like the # AM10013. Your main concern will be loss of clearance. Moving to the larger tire size will cause you to lose approximately 1/2" on the inside and 1" of clearance on the top. You want to have at least 2" on the inside and 3" on top for proper clearance. Is there a specific reason you want the larger tire?

  • How to Tell if Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Tire Will be Able to Run at 60 psi on Craftsman Garden Cart Wheel
    Hey Joe, As much as I would like to say those wheels will work great with the Kenda Loadstar K371 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10002 inflated to 60 psi, those are very different wheels than standard trailer wheels so the best thing to do is reach out to the wheel manufacturer to confirm. For trailer wheels, if the tire fits, then the wheel can handle the pressure, but you aren't installing this on a trailer tire so that rule doesn't quite apply which is why I say check with the manufacturer....

    Hello again Mark; as long as you don't exceed the 65 mph rating you can stick with a tire like the Kenda Loadstar K371 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10002. Moving to a larger tire with a higher speed rating is going to mean a fairly large size difference. To see if you can use one of these tires you will need to measure for clearance. The closest thing that also uses an 8" wheel would be the Kenda 215/60-8 # AM3H290. This has a speed rating of M for 81 mph. However, it is significantly wider...

If you just wanted the wheel it is part # AM20001 and if you just wanted the tire it is part # AM10002. We also have the Redline Spindle # TRU94FR which measures 1.25" where it installed on the axle but it measures 0.999" where the bearings ride and uses 1" bearings, # L44643.

  • What is Speed Rating of Trailer Tires in Size 4.80-8
    For smaller tire sizes like the 4.80-8 that you mentioned the highest speed rating we have is 65 mph like the part # AM10002. This is in part due to the smaller diameter of the tire which means it will be spinning more revolutions at the same speed as a larger tire. This increases heat build up.

  • Will 4.80/4.00-8 Tire Fit 9" Rim
    Hi Jeff; the # AM20035 will only work with 9" tires like the 6.90/6.00-9 # AM10040. Your typical 4.80/4.00-8 tire like # AM10002 fits an 8" x 3-3/4" rim like the # AM20001.

  • Will Smaller Tire Fit In Place of 4.80/4.00-8 Tire
    A smaller 3.5-8 tire will not be able to fit in place of a 4.80/4.00-8 tire such as the Kenda Loadstar K371 Bias Trailer Tire - 4.80/4.00-8 - Load Range B # AM10002 (590 lb capacity) or Load Range C # AM10004 (745 lb capacity). The reason is the smaller section width, because 4.80/4.00-8 tires fit 8" x 3-3/4" rims such as Steel Trailer Wheel # AM20008 (Galvanized) or # AM20006 (White) and a 3.5-8 tire is not wide enough to fit.

  • Are ST145R12 Tires The Same As 4.80-12 Tires
    James, they are not the same. They are similar, but the ST145/R12 tire will be about 0.8 inches larger in diameter, so you will want to make sure you have the proper amount of clearance on your trailer for the larger tire size.

  • Should 10 Year Old Trailer Tires be Replaced
    Hey Jeff, this is a great question but generally trailer tires live to be about 4-6 years old before it's time to put them out to pasture. After that they just end up being unreliable and prone to failure. Yours being 10 years old and having lived through desert heat I would say they should be replaced. That said, many people (including my Dad) push past this limit without even thinking about it and it did work for some time. Even if they look fine they rubber has broken down to some...

    You can replace a 4.80-8 trailer tire with a 4.80-12 or a 5.30-12 trailer tire, but there are a few things to consider before making the change. First, 4.80-12 and 5.30-12 tires are going to have a larger overall diameter than a 4.80-8 tire, by about 4 inches, so you will want to make sure your trailer has enough room in the fender well to accept the larger tire and wheel.

  • Is There a High Speed Rated 4.80/4.00-8 Trailer Tire
    These smaller diameter trailer tires simply aren't rated for high speeds. The standard for a tire this size is 65 mph. There would not be enough space for a tire with higher speed rating so the best option would be to simply reduce speed while traveling. If you travel in excess of the tire's capability, this will lead to increased temperatures and the potential for a blowout.

    Hey, thanks. You're not so bad yourself! Going to a larger tire size is possible but there are a few things to think about. Chief among these things is clearance. When going from an 8 inch tire to a 12 inch tire the diameter will increase by 4.4 inches. This means that if there is anything above the tire such as a fender the larger tire may not fit. Even if you have the clearance now you also have to account for the travel of the suspension. The width between the two sizes is not a concern...

    There are some 4.80/4.00-8 trailer tires which use inner tubes and some that do not, I can't answer whether or not yours do for you. I can only speak to tubeless options as that is all we offer. If it's tubeless then you can simply replace the valve stem using the Americana Rubber, Snap-In Valve Stem part # AM20903. If you do have an inner tube and want to switch to tubeless then I recommend the Kenda Loadstar K371 Bias Trailer Tire part # AM10002.

  • Can 8 inch Trailer Tires Handle Highway Speeds
    Check the sidewall of the tires on the trailer and you should find a speed rating. For this size 4.80-8 like the part # AM10002 the common speed rating is 65 mph which as long as you kept the speed under that you'd be fine.
