• Recommended PSI for Size 5.30-12 Tires
  The psi should be listed on the sidewall of the tire. It is recommended that tires always be inflated to the max psi. The max psi of the tire will depend on the tire's load range, not the weight of the trailer. For instance, we carry 5.30-12 tires in load ranges B, C, and D. The maximum psi is 55 for one of our load range B tires, 80 for a load range C, and 105 for a load range D. However, different tire manufacturers may have different psi ratings even for the same tire size and load...

• Replacement Trailer Tires for 155/80R12
  I do recommend the 5.30x12 as it is by far the closest to your current 155/80R12. I put the sizes below for you to compare. 155/80R12 -Width- 6.1" -Height- 21.8" 5.30x12 -Width- 5.5" -Height- 21.9" I would recommend using bias ply for your driving as radial tires are more at home on the highways. For the load rating I would stick with the same rating that the trailer manufacturer recommended. This information can be found on the Data Tag on the front drivers side of the trailer. If...

• 5.30-12 Tire Options for a 2006 Rockwood Forest River Freedom Pop-Up Camper
  The 5.30-12 is your tire size. We have 3 options for tires in that size. - Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10066 - Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10068 - Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10064 These all fit a 12" x 4" wheel which is pretty standard for 5.30-12 tires. Any given tire size can typically fit on a range of different wheel widths, so that 1/4 inch of difference shouldn't matter.

• Recommendations For a Smoother Ride With a 12' Boat Weighing Only 500lbs On Single Axle Trailer
  Due to the light weight of your trailer and boat I recommend looking at the Timbren Silent Ride Suspension for Single Axle Trailers. There are a few kits available based on the dimensions of your axle tube. This suspension is superior to leaf springs as it is progressive allowing for a smoother ride with your trailer.

• Recommended 5.30-12 Trailer Tire for Off-Road Use
  We offer a 5.30-12 bias ply tire in load range C as # AM10066 or load range B as part # AM10064. These aren't what most would typically refer to as 'off road' trailer tires, but because bias ply tires have a stronger and thicker sidewall, they'll preform better in off-road situations than a comparable radial tire would. I'll link you to an article with more information about trailer tires.

• Is Load Range Important When Replacing Trailer Tires on a Popup Camper
  The load range tire used is going to depend on the gross trailer weight capacity, which should be on a sticker or plate near the front of the trailer frame or in the trailer's literature. It probably also indicates the load range, or at least the capacity, on your existing tires. For a 5.30-12 we have 3 different load ranges: B, C, and D. For a load range B use # AM10064. It is rated for 840 pounds at 55 psi. For a load range C we have # AM10066 rated for 1,045 pounds at 80 psi. And for...

• Comparing a 5.30x12 and 5.70x8 Trailer Tire
  A 5.30x12 tire such as part # AM10064 is around 21.7" diameter x 5.3" wide whereas a 5.70x8 tire such as part # AM10013 is around 18.1" diameter x 5.7" wide. Therefore, the new tire will be 3.6" taller x .5" narrower than the one you have now. You only need to account for half of each measurement for clearance. I have attached a list of our 5.30x12 tires for you as well.

• Replacing 5.30-12 Wheels and Tires With Smaller 5.7-8 Wheels and Tires
  You can switch to a smaller size wheel and tire as long as you do not have brakes that will interfere with the smaller wheel or a trailer with to much weight for the smaller tires. The Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel # AM30153 has a wheel with the 4 on 4" lug pattern. It is a Load Range D tire with a 910lb capacity. It is 5.8" wide and has an outer diameter of 18" which is roughly 1/4" narrower and 4" smaller than your current 5.30-12 # AM10064.

• What is the Speed Rating for Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire
  The trailer tires we carry are rated for 65 miles per hour at most. Traveling 80 miles an hour will produce too much heat for a trailer tire. The problem is that trailer tires are made with a thicker side wall than passenger vehicle tires. This means that they can get hotter faster and going over the rated speed will lead to excessive heat build up. Excessive heat build-up in a tire can lead to diminished tread life and tire failure. Radial tires dissipate heat better but are still rated...

• Can I Replace 5.30-12 Tires For 20.5 x 8-10 Tires On Utility Trailer With Limited Clearance
  Since you do not have much clearance between your existing tire and the trailer frame with the 5.30-12 on the trailer I do not recommend to use 20.5 x 8-10 tires because the section width is actually wider than the existing tire that you have on the trailer. The modern equivalent to 20.5 x 8-10 tires is a 205/65-10 and even at their lightest load range of B part # AM1HP50 the section width is still 8.3" compared to the 5.30-12 load range B part # AM10064 that is 5.6" section width.

• How To Determine What Bearings Are Needed On Travel Trailer
  When replacing bearings on a trailer, you will need to know what size bearings will fit the spindle on your trailer axle. The best way is to remove the old bearings and check for the numbers on the bearing. That way you get an exact match. If you are unable to find the numbers on the bearing, you will need to measure the spindle surface as shown in the attached drawing to make sure you get the right size. Because the load range can vary on tires that are 5.30-12 it would be difficult to...

• Can 4.80-12 Trailer Tires be Upgraded to Larger Tires
  So the rule of thumb with trailer tires 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 trailer's frame rail. Your current size 4.80-12 tires measure 4.8" wide and 20.5" in diameter, which you'll want to keep in mind. You can go to a larger tire, but it will need to be a 12" tire, with the biggest upgrade being a 5.30-12 tire: - Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 5.30-12 # AM10066 This tire measures...

• Replacement Tire Size for 4 Winns 190 Horizon Boat Trailer
  I don't have any reference material that would tell me what the tire size of your boat trailer is. Unlike passenger vehicles, this information isn't easily researchable. The tires that are currently on the trailer should have the tire size listed on the tire sidewalls as shown in the diagram I've provided. If you could provide the tire size and load rating, I'd be happy to recommend some replacement tires for you. I'll also link you to an FAQ article about trailer tires.

• Will the 5.30 x 12 Tire Size Fit a Small Camper With a 4.80 x 8 Tire
  The 4.80 x 8 tire size that you have now is 16.1 inches tall and the overall width is 4.6 inches. If you go to the 5.30 x 12 tire size, the overall diameter is 21.9 inches tall and 5.6 inches wide. The first number (4.80 or 5.30) on the tire size designates the width range of your tire in inches. You will want to make sure you will have enough clearance on your camper for the 5.8 inch taller and 1 inch wider tire. I do not list a 5.40 x 12 tire size available. The 4.80 x 8 tire size is...

• Load Range B Tire For Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel DEX44FR
  There isn't an option for a tire (of any load range) already mounted on the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 12" x 4" Rim - 4 on 4 - Black # DEX44FR.

• ST Tire Pressure for Kenda Brand Trailer Tires
  Yes. Kenda recommends running their tires at the max psi when inflated cold no matter the weight on the trailer. The good news is a tire with load range B is going to be softer than a higher ply/load rated tire. Goodyear is the only manufacturer we carry that gives a sliding PSI rating based on the weight actually on the tires at any given time. Not inflating to the required PSI can cause tires to overheat and wear too quickly or even blowout. For example the # AM10060 should be...

• Replacing a 145-12 Trailer Tire with a 5.30-12 Trailer Tire
  A 5.30-12 trailer tire and a 145-12 trailer tire are both very similar. A 5.30-12 tire measures 21.9" diameter x 5.6" wide whereas a 145-12 tire measures 21.3" diameter x 5.7" wide. This means that the new 5.30-12 tire will be .3" taller and .05" narrower than a 145-12 tire. I am almost certain you will have enough room for this but you may want to take a few measurements just to be sure. For a 5.30-12 trailer tire, we have a load range B (840 lbs) part # AM10064, a load range C (1,045...

• Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire Pressure For a 10' Aluminum Row Boat Trailer
  The Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10066 that is on the Wheel and Tire Combo # AM30820 will need 80psi of pressure when the tire is cold. It is best to verify the pressure in the coldest temperature it will operate before driving. The manufacturer accounts for the tire warming up with higher temperature and when the tire gets warmer from the friction of driving. With having such a light trailer and boat you can have them weighed with all your gear to ensure you are using the correct load...

This tire and wheel combo features the same 4-ply construction and load range as the tire in your photos...
