• Best 12 inch Trailer Tire for Jayco Pop Up Campers
  The best trailer tire solution for a 12 inch wheel will be the Taskmaster 5.30R12 Radial Trailer Tire # TT53012C for a couple big reasons. One being that the tire is a radial which is much preferred to the bias ply style of tire you referenced. They handle better overall and have a bit more flex in the sidewall which gives better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread wear. Plus they run cooler. And this tire has a higher speed rating of 81 mph which is nice for longer trips...

• Can a Trailer Tire with a Load Range B be Replaced with a Load Range C
  The Load Ranges for trailer tires basically dictate the weight capacity range of the tire. I don't know what size you have, but there would be no reason you couldn't go from a Load Range B tire up to a Load Range C. I attached a couple help articles on trailer tires for you to check out as well.

• Are All 5.30-12 Trailer Tires From Different Manufacturers the Same Size
  Any given tire of the same size but from different manufacturers are going to be slightly different sizes. You also have to consider how much air is in each and tread wear. Tires also look different when mounted on a wheel versus not mounted. But it sounds like the differences are more than that by the way you describe it. How much larger is the new tire compared to the ones on the trailer? A 5.30-12 trailer tire should be 21.9 inches in diameter and 5.6 inches wide. Make sure the Carlisle...

  For a replacement tire for the 4.80-12 tire size that will be larger in diameter the 5.30-12 size will be 1-1/2 inches taller. It will fit the same rim and would be the tallest option. For that you could go with the # AM10068 which I attached a review video for.

• 5.30-12 Trailer Tire Recommendation for Pop Up Camper
  We sell trailer tires individually and premounted on trailer rims. If all you need is a tire in the 5.30-12 tire size that you referenced you would want the # AM10068. This is a Load Range D with 1,205 lbs of capacity when the tire is inflated to 105 psi. Trailer tires should always be inflated to their max psi. If a trailer tire is inflated to a lower air pressure than the maximum, the amount of weight that the tire can carry will be reduced. If a heavier load is put on the trailer...

• Availability of 12 Inch Tires and Wheels For a Dual Axle Travel Trailer
  A 5.30-12 size tire with a 6-ply rating (load range C) has a maximum load capacity of 1,045 lbs at 80 psi. So four of those tires on your travel trailer will have a combined load capacity of 4,180 lbs.

• Recommended Replacement Tires for Jayco Pop-Up Camper Trailer That Weighs 2000-lbs
  We can help you select new 5.30-12 tires or this size tire pre-mounted on a 4-lug wheel if you prefer. All the 5.30-12 tires we offer are bias ply types; no radial tires are offered in this size. I suggest you use a Load Range D tire, part # AM10068 rated for 1,250-lbs at 105-psi pressure, since this will give you some safety margin. Tires that are operated conservatively - below their maximum capacity - will tend to run cooler and last longer. Heat is the enemy for any trailer tire....

• 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...

• Are Bias Ply or Radial Tires Better to Pull 9 foot Pop-Up Camper
  When pulling a pop-up camper, I would pick radial tires over bias ply tires mainly because they run cooler and because of their flexibility they have better contact with the road. Neither of the types of tires are rated to run at 70 mph. Trailer tires have a maximum speed rating of 65 mph. When you run a trailer tire for more than an hour at higher speeds, the heat build up can cause the tire to break down which will lead to tire failure. When you fill your tires, you should always...

• 4.80-12 Trailer Tires Keep Blowing Out on 2000 Coachman Camper Trailer
  Trailer tires are made with a thicker side wall than passenger car tires. Because of the thicker side wall they generate more heat. If they are under inflated and/or overloaded, that generates even more heat and can cause the tire to fail. Always inflate trailer tires to the maximum psi rating as indicated on the tire. If a tire sits long enough, it can suffer from dry rot or environmental wear unless covered when not in use. Given the area you travel in this could also be a factor....

  We recently started carrying Taskmaster tires, like the # TTWTRTM1758013C. This 175/80-13 Radial tire carries an M speed rating for up to 81 mph, which means it'll do better on the highway for you. Each tire has a C load rating, good for 1360 lbs of capacity when properly inflated to their maximum pressure of 80psi. Do you know the speed rating of the tires you were using? Many trailer tires are rated for 65 mph unless stated otherwise on the sidewall. As you found, heat is the killer...

• New Trailer Tire Recommendation for a Haul-Master Folding Trailer with 5.30-12 Tires
  The tire sizes 4.8-12 and 5.3-12 are very similar and often used on similar applications. As I'm sure you are aware, the 5.30-12 tires are just a little wider and they have slightly higher weight ratings. Since you are already using 5.30-12 tires, I recommend staying with that same size. A wider tire will have better ground contact and using a slightly stronger tire certainly won't hurt anything, especially if you are loading the trailer to the maximum weight capacity a lot. The Kenda...

• Troubleshooting One Tire Wearing Out on a Tandem Axle Trailer
  Typically when only one tire on a trailer wears out on a tandem axle trailer the problem is axle alignment. That would be the first place I would start. Other possible issues are damaged rim, damaged or worn suspension components, bent axle, bad wheel bearings, one brake assembly locking up when stopping and/or axle overloading.

• 5.30-12 Tire Recommendation for a Livin Lite Quicksilver Pop Up
  If you have a 5.30-12 tire size on your trailer currently I can safely recommend any of the 5.30-12 trailer tires we offer knowing that they will fit your rims. The part # AM10068 would be a great tire for you to use as it has a Load Range of D and will fit your rim. Generally speaking all 5.30-12 tire will fit either a 4 inch or 4-1/4 inch wide rim. Nearly all of these tires are mounted on 4 inch wide rims so I would be surprised if yours was a 4-1/4 inch wide rim.

• Should Trailer Tires be Inflated to Maximum PSI in Hot Weather
  Yes, trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum psi as listed on the sidewall regardless of the outside temperature or the type of load you have on the trailer. Inflating them to their maximum psi allows them to maintain their load capacity so that you do not accidently overload the tires, which can lead to excess heat and tire failure. The Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10068 you were looking at has a maximum load of 1,250 pounds at 105 psi. The tire should always be...

• Wear on Boat Trailer Tires After Changing Tires to Higher Load Rating
  Theoretically, the C Range tires would last longer than the B Range tires, but there are so many factors that play into trailer tire wear that it is impossible to say how much longer they should last. Some of the things that play into tire wear are overloading the tire's weight capacity, not keeping the tires inflated to the recommended psi, and not observing the tire's speed rating. Your tires should have their weight capacity and recommended psi stamped on the tire wall. If your tires...

• Travel Trailer Tire Recommendation to Replace a 175/80R13
  SR usually refers to the speed rating of a tire. ST stands for Specialty Tire and would be what you would want to use on your travel trailer. This kind of tire has a stronger sidewall than an automobile or truck tire so it can handle higher air pressures and higher loads. For a replacement tire I would go with the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10210. This is a radial tire. A radial tire flexes more than a bias tire, giving it better ground contact, traction, stability,...
