• 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...

• 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...

• 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.

• 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...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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.

• 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.

• 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...

• 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.

• Replacing 5.30-12 Wheels and Tires With Smaller 5.7-8 Wheels and Tires

• 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.

• Do Higher Trailer Load Ranges Allow for Higher Speed Ratings
  Load Range for trailer tires has to do with the weight capacity. The higher the Load Range the higher the weight capacity and usually the higher the PSI recommendation for the tire. Going with a higher Load Range will not give you the ability to travel at higher speeds. 65 miles per hour is typically the standard max speed for trailer tires. Exceeding that figure will cause excessive heat to build up and increase the risk of tire failure regardless of Load Range. Cracking on the sidewall...

• What Causes Uneven Trailer Tire Tread Wear with New 5.30-12 Tires
  All trailer tires must always be inflated to the specified maximum cold psi pressure as noted on the tire sidewall. Tires should never be under- or over-inflated at any time as this can lead to heat build up, uneven tread wear, loss of weight capacity or a blowout. A trailer tire cannot meets its load rating unless it is inflated to the cold tire pressure noted on the sidewall. Usually an under-inflated tire will wear more on the outside edges of the tread surface; an over-inflated tire...

• Tire and Wheel Recommendation for Small Boat Trailer with 5.30 x 12 tires on 4 Lug Wheels
  Hi Tony, The pilot hole (large center hole) on the tire/wheel combos we carry with the 5.30-12 tire size can either be 2.84 inches or the smaller and less common, 2.52 inches.
