• What Is The Purpose of the 3 Places A Wheel Steps Down From Outside Edge to Inside?
  On the Steel Trailer Wheel # AM20006, I assume the 3 dimples you are referring to are the 3 places the wheel steps down in size. The outside largest diameter point is where the wheel is outside of the tire for a little protection of the sealing bead. The second step is where the tire bead rests and seals against the wheel to allow the air to stay pressurized without having an inner tube. The third step is down to the mounting flange to give strength and stability. Each tire will have...

• What PSI Should Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel be Inflated To
  With trailer tires you always want to inflate them to the max psi that is listed on the sidewall of the tire. In the case of the # AM30155 that would be 100 psi. This ensures you get the full weight capacity out of the tire and prevent heat build up. The higher the Load Range of the tire the higher the pressure requirement would end up being generally speaking.

• Can I Upgrade to a Load Range D Tire Size 165/65-8
  I may have a potential solution for you, but the tire size 165/65-8 is only available in load range C. To step up in load range, you will have to switch to tire size 215/60-8 Tire and Wheel # AM3H325 or 5.70-8 # AM30155 which are both slightly larger in diameter by about 1-1/2 inch and the 215/60-8 tire # AM3H325 is about 2 inches wider while the 5.70-8 tire # AM30155 is about 1/2 inch narrower. With the size difference, you will just need to make sure you have the clearance available...

• Do Trailer Tire Sizes 5.70-8 and 18.5 x 8.5 - 8 use Same Wheel Width
  The rim width requirements between the two sizes you mentioned are different enough that either size would not fit the same rim. The 5.70-8 fits 3-3/4 inch wide rims and the 18.5 x 8.5 - 8 requires a 7 inch wide wheel. If you want to go with a 5.70-8 size you'll need to replace the wheel with it too like with the # AM30155 which has a white wheel.

• Will Kenda 5.70-8 Tire & Wheel With 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern Work For Boat Trailer
  Yes, for your boat trailer with 5.70-8 tires with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern you can absolutely use the Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D # AM30155. The white wheels on this combo will work with a boat trailer, but I do recommend considering the same option but with galvanized wheels. Reason is, galvanized wheels are going to offer you better corrosion resistance, which can be important for boat trailers, especially if they are used quite often....

• Picking Out a Replacement Wheel and Tire Spare for Coleman Destiny Tent Trailer
  Thankfully trailer wheels don't use a wide range of 5 lug bolt patterns so if you have a 5 lug wheel with a tire size of 5.70-8 mounted on it the part # AM30155 would fit and work well. To further verify your bolt pattern though I attached a help article that details how to measure and verify this.

• How Fast Can Trailer Tire in Size 5.70-8 Go
  Normally tire speed ratings are listed right after the tire size as a letter. For example the letter M represents and 81 mph speed rating. If you can't find a speed rating after the tire size the safe assumption will be that the tire is limited to 65 mph which used to be the standard speed for trailer tires. I tried to find the speed rating of the Hi Run 5.70-8 that you have and only could find the listing "applicable for high speed driving" but not an actual rating. So based on our tires...

• Downsizing Trailer Wheel and Tire Combination to Lower Personal Water Craft PWC Trailer Height
  The 5.70-8 could be a viable replacement size for your PWC, but I also have another solution that may work to make loading and unloading easier. The benefits of downsizing your tire and wheels are mainly the height loading aspect. With your current setup you have an outer diameter of 20.5 and the down sized tire is 18.1 inches. You may also see some ride stability because the center of gravity will be lower so you may get less sway when towing. Some drawbacks of downsizing your tires...

• Recommended 5.70-8 Tire and Wheel with Compatible Hub for Axle
  We do have some options for you to add a 5.7-8 size tire and a hub to your trailer. For a wheel/tire combination I recommend going with the Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with Wheel # AM30155. This has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and comes with a load range of D (1,075 lbs at 100 psi). Since 8" wheels are typically installed on 2,000 lb axles you would need the hub assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-EZ-1K if you have L44643 bearings or assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-EZ-2K for L44649 bearings. Both options...

• Replacing 18.5x8.50-8 Tires with a 5.70-8 Trailer Tire
  The Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with Wheel part # AM30155 measures 18" diameter x 5.9" wide and fits a standard 5 on 4" bolt pattern. The 18.5x8.50-8 tire measures 17.25" diameter x 8.6" wide. Therefore, the new size will be slightly larger in diameter by .75" and smaller in width by 2.7". I don't know how much space you have but you should be able to use the above to answer your question.

• Can 5.70-8 Trailer Tire Replace 4.80-8
  Yes, a 5.70-8 tire will fit the same rim that a 4.80-8 tire fit. They both are designed to fit 8 inch diameter rims that are 3-3/4 inches wide. The larger tire will end up being 2 inches taller overall so you would end up with 1 inch less of fender clearance vertically. For a tire in this size that would work well you would want the part # AM30155. This is a Load Range D tire with a 1,075 lb capacity at 100 psi.

  Any given tire size can come in various weight load ranges, and sometimes a specific tire size may be offered in different speed ratings too.

• Replacement 5.70-8 Tires and Wheels for 1992 Coleman Pop-Up Camper
  It sounds like your 2-3/4" hole measurement comes from the pilot hole diameter and you are comparing that to the 4-1/2" measurement from a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. When measuring the bolt pattern on a wheel like yours with an odd number of bolt holes, you want to measure from the center of one hole to the farthest edge of either of the two farther holes. More than likely this will be 4-1/2". Assuming that is correct, you can use the Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel #...

• Bearing, Wheel and Tire, and Fender Recommendation for a 1991 Load Rite Lil Rider Trailer
  In order to determine which replacement bearings you would need to replace your current parts, you will need to either get the numbers that are stamped on your bearings, or you will need to get some precise measurements from your spindle. The measurements you need will be where the seal and bearings ride. Check out the picture I attached to see which measurements are needed. As long as your current trailer tires and rims have enough capacity for the weight that will be on your trailer...

The center pilot hole on the wheel measures 2.8 inches.

• Do the Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tries with 8 Inch White Wheel Have a Speed Rating
  Due to the size of these tires, they aren't given an official speed rating. Typically tires 13 inches and larger are given speed ratings. I spoke with my contact at Kenda and she said that the # AM30155 tire and wheel is tested for speeds up to 62 miles per hour. There is not a speed rating stamped on these tires.

• Correct Tire Size for 1994 Cobra Flagstaff Pop-Up Camper
  Since you already have different sized wheels and tires installed on your vehicle, you can simply choose one size that will work for your trailer and replace your existing wheels and tires. To do that, you need to consider the gross trailer weight of your camper and choose tires based on that. Between the two tire sizes you already have installed, the highest rated size is a 5.70-8 Load Range D which is rated for 1,075 lbs at 100 psi. If this works for your camper weight, I recommend...

• Can Smaller Wheels and Tires be Installed on a Jet Ski Trailer to Lower It
  The backspacing is not really the issue, it is the tire width on your current versus new tires. Most trailer tires have a zero offset meaning the mounting surface of the wheel is in the center of the wheel so the tire width becomes important. A 175/80-13 tire that you currently have is about 6.9 inches wide and 24.1 inches tall. A 205/65-10 like # AM3H390, is 8.3 inches wide and 20.5 inches tall. Regarding tires, this is a huge difference in width and you would have to measure the distance...

• Bias VS Radial For Small Trailer Tires for Hybrid Travel
  For a trailer tires I prefer bias ply over radials for typical use. If you were full time travelers I would go for the added expense of radials with longer tread life and cooler running temperatures. For more typical users who can expect the tires to run out of time before tread, I would use the less expensive bias ply tires. However you present what appears to be hybrid use; Some long trips then long idle times. If you have had good experience with bias ply tires, I would not change,...

• Can 4.80-8 be Replaced with 5.70-8
  The larger tire 5.70-8 like the part # AM10013 would work great in place of the tire you have now and would actually fit the same rim. Your picture didn't make it through but if you have a 5 lug wheel you'd want the # AM30153 or for a 5 lug wheel # AM30155.

• Recommended 8 Wheel and Tire Combination For 1800lb Trailer Going Cross Country.
  I recommend the Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D # AM30155 which has a load rating of 1075lbs at 100 PSI, but the wheel is limited to 910lbs each so that would be the actual max rating as you are limited to the lowest rated component. Since some of the weight of your 1800lb trailer will be tongue weight and not on the wheels, this will be plenty for your trailer. This tire has an 18" overall diameter like you mentioned you wanted and carries...

• Is the Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel - 5 Lug Offered with Larger Hub Bore
  I checked all of our 8" trailer wheels, the hub bores are all 2.8" just like the Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D part # AM30155. That said, the replacement wheel hub bore does not need to match the existing since these wheels are lug piloted, the hub bore on the wheel just needs to be larger than the hub bore on the hub.

  I was able to confirm that the Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8 White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D # AM30155 are the correct fit for your trailer. I was also able to confirm that your trailer has 3,500 lb Dexter axles so you will use the Bearing Kit # BK2-100 for each of your hubs. The factory originally use a hub cover like the Phoenix USA QuickTrim Hub Cover for Trailer Wheels - 5 on 4-1/2 - ABS Plastic - Black - Qty 1 # PXQT545BHS if you want to follow that look.
