• What is the Difference Between the Kenda AM30040 and the Kenda AM30000
  Since prices fluctuate from time to time, the Kenda # AM30040 Load C, which is currently priced a little less than the Kenda # AM30000 Load B, is definitely the tire and wheel combination I would go with since it has a higher weight capacity. The only real differences that you will see is that the Load C tire will be able to stay a little cooler and handle higher weights with less stress. A few things you will want to keep in mind when operating; even though part # AM30040 has a higher...

• Benefits of Using Higher Load Range Trailer Tires
  Increasing a trailer's tire size can offer some potential advantages but it can also cause issues. Using a wider and/or larger diameter tire can mean clearance issues within the fender wells and at the leaf springs. It is important to have enough clearance above the tire tread to allow for suspension travel; at least 3-inches but more is better. The most common reason folks want to use larger tires is to reduce the chances of a blowout, which is certainly a very good motivation! But...

• Can Camper Trailer Weight Capacity Be Increased By Changing Tire Load Range Rating
  Thank you for the photo of your camper trailer. When it comes to a trailer's weight carrying capacity the lowest-rated part of the trailer - either the frame, axle, hubs, wheels or tires - will determine if more capacity can be added. If the tires were the lowest-rated component then changing them to another size or simply to a higher load range in the same size could give you more capacity/safety margin. But if the tires are not the "weakest link" then upgrading them does not add capacity...

• Is The Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8 Inch White Wheel, # AM30040, Rated For The Highway
  The Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8 Inch White Wheel, # AM30040, is highway rated. Trailer tires have a speed rating of 65 mph. Trailer tires are designed for carrying a maximum load at all times, so to do that they are reinforced in the sidewall. With the sidewall being reinforced, that causes the heat to build up more quickly at lower speeds with a load on the tires, so you will not want to run a trailer tire at higher speeds than the 65 mph speed limit.

• Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire/ Wheel Combo As Replacement for Existing 4.00-8 Tire
  The 4.00-8 tire is an obsolete size that is no longer manufactured. The name 4.80/4.00-8 is used so people will know that the new size which has a tread width of approximately 4.8 inches is the correct replacement that would be slightly wider than your existing tire. The # AM30040 tire/rim combo you referenced would be an acceptable replacement for your existing tires, as long as they are replaced in pairs.

• Is the Kenda Wheel and Tire # AM30040 Rated Per Wheel or by Axle
  The tire and wheel capacity for the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8 inch White Wheel # AM30040 that you referenced is rated for the individual tire and wheel, not per axle (2 wheels and tires). You should note that the wheel capacity is 910 lbs and the tire capacity 745 lbs at 90 psi. This means a couple things. First, your towing setup is always limited to the lowest rated component in the setup, so in this situation the tire is rated lower than the wheel so the overall capacity...

• Can Vehicle Tire And Wheel Be Used On Pop-Up Camper
  It is not recommended to use a vehicle tire on a trailer or camper because they have weaker sidewalls and can fail. Trailer wheels typically have a zero offset and vehicle wheels have an offset so there could be clearance issues with that as well. Also, the bolt pattern could be different for the wheel as well. I would stick to trailer wheels and tires on the trailer to be on the safe side. If you let me know what the wheel bolt pattern is on your trailer hubs I will be glad to make...

• Difference In Diameter Between an 8 Inch Wheel with Tire and a 15 Inch Wheel with Tire
  The height difference between an 8 inch wheel with tire and a 15 inch wheel with tire will really depend on the tire size on the wheel. It is true that an 8 inch wheel is 3-1/2 inches smaller in diameter than a 15 inch wheel, but with tires on the wheels the difference will likely be greater than 3-1/2 inches. For example, the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8 Inch Wheel # AM30040 when inflated has a diameter of 16.1 inches, while the Taskmaster ST205/75-15 Bias Trailer Tire...

• How to Find Correct Replacement Tires for 4.80 - 8 4 Ply Trailer Tires
  Your 4.80-8 size tire is the same as a 4.80/4.00-8 size tire. If the tires and rims are all original then we know they're compatibe with one another so there's no need to measure anything. It also says you have a 4-ply tire which is Load Range B. The tire probably mentions a maximum weight capacity as well which is better to use than the ply rating. Look for this number and make sure the tires you get are rated or at least as much capacity as what you have. Looking at your picture...

• Replacement Wheel and Tire for Motorcycle Cargo Trailer with 4 on 4 Bolt Pattern
  When you look at the trailer weight, you will want to make sure you account for the weakest part of the system as that will be your max capacity. If your tires are the lowest rated for load capacity, then you can upgrade the tires. It is not likely that you will be able to jump to 12 inch wheels as that is a really large jump which would take your overall wheel diameter from the 16.1 inches to about 22 inches. That isn't including the the 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 inches you will need above the...

• Recommended Load Range C Boat Trailer Tires in Size 4.80-8
  Increased load and higher driving speeds both tend to cause tires to run hotter, and it is possible that this combination of factors has led to your two recent blowouts. A higher load range tire can deal with the increase in your trailer weight. However, most trailer tires are rated for only 65-mph unless specifically stated otherwise. None of our tires in your size carry a higher speed rating. In your tire size we offer a tire only, Kenda Bias Ply Load Range C tire # AM10004, and also...

• Comparing 4.80/4.00-8 Trailer Tires and Speed Rating of 4.80/4.00-8 Trailer Tires
  Tire and wheel combo # AM30040 is the same tire as # AM10004. They are both made by the same company and both have the same rating and load range. The trailer tires that we carry are rated for 65 miles per hour. You do not want to exceed the speed rating because it will build up excess heat. Trailer tires already have a thicker sidewall than passenger vehicle tires and this adds to the heat they generate. So you do not want to increase the heat by going over 65 miles per hour. I have...

• How Is Trailer Weight Capacity Determined and Can It Be Increased By Adding Different Components
  When it comes to any trailer, including your small utility trailer that transports your Kodiak ATV, the trailer's actual weight capacity will be a function of which of its component parts has the lowest weight rating. A trailer's capacity will be limited to that of the lowest-rated part, either the trailer tongue, the frame, the axle, the suspension, the wheels or the tires. It is the classic "weakest link in the chain" situation. If you were able to know for certain that the weakest...

• Can a Load Range C Tire be Used Instead of a Load Range B Tire on a Trailer
  First, make sure that you stay within the gross trailer weight capacity for your trailer. If that 200 pounds extra puts you over the gross trailer weight capacity then you will want to carry that extra weight in the vehicle. Going with a higher capacity tire will not increase the gross trailer weight capacity. With that said since you have a long way to go and such small tires, having a stronger tire in the same size would help to reduce the chance of anything happening to the tires....

• How to Select Wheels and Tires for Older Motorcycle Trailer
  We can help you select new tires and/or wheels for your older motorcycle trailer. The trailer should have a sticker or plate with its VIN and other information including its gross vehicle weight rating, GVWR. GVWR is the most the trailer can weigh when it is loaded. Once you find this information you will simply divide that weight capacity by the number of tires on the trailer; by two for a single axle and by 4 for a tandem axle trailer. So for instance if the trailer has a GVWR of...

• Which 4.80 X 8 Size Tires Can Be Used On A Minuteman Trailer To Maximize Tire Tread Life
  The 4.80x8 tire size has a overall diameter of 16.1 inches and a section width of 4.6 inches. I would not recommend going to the 5.70x8 size or the 215/60-8 size, because you would be increasing the overall diameter to 18.1 inches, which is 2 inches taller. When you go to a taller tire you are making the trailer taller and that will increase the chance of more sway, as well as possibly causing clearance issues. I would recommend going with the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire...

• Are 15 Tires Available with a 4 Lug Wheels
