1-Year Worry-Free Guarantee
This tire has a 1-year worry-free guarantee. If within the first 12 months the tire is damaged in any way, it will be replaced at no charge.
Bias Tires vs. Radial Tires
Bias ply tires are designed for off-road or agricultural applications. They are built with thick, durable nylon cords that are positioned at a 30- to 45-degree angle to the direction of travel. The layers alternate in a crisscross pattern, making the sidewalls stiffer so that the entire tire is able to flex easily. As a result, the tire provides a smooth ride and improved handling when trailering on uneven surfaces.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
Measuring the distance from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.
- If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
- If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
- If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
- If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

I needed tires for my 5 x 8 trailer because the old tires were cracking on the sides. I priced out several companies and one of the larger discount stores wanted nearly double. I got a better deal buying 2 tires with wheels than if I had gone to a tire shop for just tire replacement. I’m very happy with the price, service and shipping time using etrailer. Thanks much!!

These tires are still working great. I use this trailer frequently and am happy with my tires from etrailer. Will definitely order from them again for tires and other parts. Thx

I bought these wheels to replace the original wheels on my Honda jet ski trailer. They were delivered on time, ready to install. I had both of them on the trailer in about 30 minutes. I bought them because of the stainless steel rims as my old wheels were rusting. I had one question prior to buying, but eTrailer customer service answered it quickly. This is the 3rd time I’ve bought a product from eTrailer and all of them have been exactly what they were advertised to be. Good company to buy from. Fair pricing. Will definitely buy from eTrailer again.

Tires arrived quickly in great condition (in a Box)! These tires replaced the original tires mounted on white painted "rusted" rims on my small trailer. They will last a lot longer because the rims are galvanized not painted. They also look great!

I recently purchased this spare tire/wheel combo for my new continental trailer that carries my PWC. It matched perfectly however the mounting bracket could include a filler plate for the smaller PWC trailers to mount. I used a small piece of wood as filler and will replace with a metal bracket.

I had originally found a wheel/tire option on Amazon but elected to go with eTrailer b/c I was not comfortable with purchasing through a 3rd party merchant -- I have had trouble if any issue is encountered. My wheels from eTrailer showed up in a sturdy box and were ready to mount. Very satisfied with overall purchase experience. The wheels are used for my small Yacht Club trailer that holds my 2006 SeaDoo GTX. For the price, you can't go wrong. Some people have reviewed the wheels as being a bit scuffed (as in not immaculately polished). I kind of chuckled a bit when reading those. Folks - you are getting 2 wheels + tires shipped to your door for ~$100 all-in. That is an insane value. My wheels were also not perfectly polished...but I was 100% ok with that.

I am more than happy with this purchase. The price was unbeatable. I feel much safer and secure towing my boat on the freeway at high speeds for long distances with these tires and wheels.

Wheel and tire fit perfectly. Runs great down the road. One of my old tires was bouncing a lot (I could see it in my mirror) and the treads eventually wore out. No local tire store would balance a 12" trailer tire/wheel. The guides and advice on this site take the stress out of ordering online. Long term review will have to take place later :-)

Just great. Over a year of hauling household furniture and building materials through 500 mile round trips twice a month during all weather conditions...snow, sleet, rain, hot days and nights, put these tires to the test. Never leaked air, no rust in the galvanization, tread wear is even.

Bought a set of these to replace the wheel/tires on our Jetski trailer last year. The galvanizing is nice because you don't really have to worry about rust. We don't use the trailer very much because the Jetski is on the dock year round, but at least we don't have to worry about it rusting out while it just sits around. Thanks again!

etrailer has performed to 110% of everything I have ordered from them. I am so impressed and thankful they do what they say. I bought a hitch and wiring harness for my Acura to tow a jet ski.. possibly a questionable idea... NOPE! super fast install and everything worked exceptionally well. Then I wanted to update my trailer tires and wheels.. value, shipping speed and selection as well as delivery 110% perfect. wheel galvanizing was high quality, tires high quality and inflated properly. Didn't think I would get excited about opening my wheels and tires. Thank you to the team at etrailer. NICE WORK

I was converting an old John Boat trailer into a utility trailer. The etrailer website was very helpful. The wheel bearings were obsolete but I was able to measure everything and the website matched them up. The trailer had 15 in. tires which made the trailer to tall, but learning how to measure the hub stubs on the website, helped me with new tires. I ordered 3 of the 12 in. so I would have a spare. These tires are impressive, with a low price.

- Spare Tire and Wheel for Trailer with Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Tires The Kenda Loadstar 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30670 that you referenced will work perfectly as a spare for your trailer. The important info you need when picking out a spare or replacement is the tire size, load range, and bolt pattern on the wheel so you can be sure it will fit your hub. This bias tire matches the size (4.80-12), Load Range (Load Range C of 990 pounds at 90 psi) and the 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern on your current tire/wheel as pictured....

- Recommended 4.80-12 Trailer Tire for Higher Speed DrivingAll of our 4.80-12 size trailer tires and tires-with-wheels are shown on the linked page. For higher-speed highway travel I suggest the 81-mph-rated Load Range C Tasksmaster tire # TTWSF48012C which is rated to carry 990-lbs at 90 psi. Always run your trailer tires at the full psi pressure noted on the tire sidewall. It is never appropriate to under- or over-inflate a trailer tire as doing so reduces its load capacity and increases chances for heat-related failure.

- What Tire Pressure Should Trailer with 12 inch Wheels be Ran AtWith trailer tires like # AM30670 you have to run the max tire pressure rating that's on the sidewall of the trailer. This ensures you get the full weight capacity of the tire and also that you prevent any heat build up which also leads to premature tire failure. Trailer suspension by nature is a bit bouncier than vehicle suspension since there isn't a shock there to dampen the movement of it.

The DOT code is a date of manufacturer code so that isn't going to matter as much. If both the stock and spare tire are 4.80-12 Load Range C tires then they are the same size so there will not be a difference there.

view full answer... - Can Tire Pressure be Lowered on Motorcycle Trailer to Provide a Better RideYou always want to keep your trailer tires psi set to what is recommended. If the psi is higher or lower then the tire will not perform as the manufacturer states. For instance, the Kenda # AM30670 is rated for 990 lbs at 90 psi. If we were to deflate the tires at all then the 990 lbs capacity that Kenda says the tire can handle will not be the case anymore. Underinflated tires are more prone to overheating and tire failure as well. I strongly advise against lowering the psi.

- Correct Inflation Pressure for Trailer 4.80-12 Trailer TiresTire size 4.80-12 is not found on vehicles, but is a common trailer tire size on smaller utility- and sport-type trailers. In trailer use you do want to inflate them to the maximum cold psi pressure noted on the tire sidewall. Trailer tires should never be under- or over-inflated since they can deliver their rated weight-carrying capacity only when inflated to their specified pressure. Incorrect inflation can lead to excessive heat which is the main cause for tire failure. All of our...
view full answer... - Can Trailer Tire Size of 20.5x8-10 be Replaced with 4.80-12The two sizes you mentioned have the exact same diameter of 20.5 inches. The biggest difference is that the 12 inch size you are considering of 4.80-12 is much narrower at 4.9 inches compared to 8.4. Clearance wise you'd not have any problems at all. If you have a 5 lug bolt pattern you'd need the part # AM30670 or if you have a 4 lug pattern you'd need the # AM30630.

The diameters are within 1.4 inches of being the same so as long as you match the bolt pattern and the frame is rubbing like you mentioned you'd be fine. For the wider 20.5 x 8 -10 we have the part # AM3H490 for if you have a 5 lug bolt pattern or part # AM3H440 for a 4 lug pattern. We don't carry the exact tire you mentioned.

These are 60-dgree coned nuts that fit the same 1/2-inch wheel bolts as those used by the Kenda wheel/tire.

The size 4.8-12 is for a 12 inch wheel and the 4.8-8 is for an 8 inch wheel. So to go to the 4.8-12 size you'd need a wheel and tire combo like the part # AM30670 for if you have a 5 lug bolt pattern or # AM30630 for if you have a 4 lug bolt pattern.

With that being said, I do not recommend lowering the pressure on the tires to below the maximum psi recommended on the sidewall. Doing this will essentially lower the tire's load capacity to an unknown number, which may lead to you overloading them and causing further damage to the tires and trailer. A trailer tire...

I would strongly recommend you keep your tires inflated to their maximum psi though.
