• Availability of Just Tire of Kenda 215/60-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel
  Yes, for just the tire of the wheel and tire combo part # AM3H290 you referenced you'd want the part # AM1HP26. This is the same Load Range C tire in the size you have of 215/60-8.

• Availability of Narrower Tires for Snowmobile Trailer for Better Handling
  I'd recommend going with a 12 inch wheel with a ST145/R12 tire on it, like the # AM35354. The ST145/R12 has a diameter only 1 inch larger than your existing tires, so it'll only raise your trailer height by 1/2 an inch. I've linked you to our selection in that tire size/wheel configuration. You'll want to choose a wheel with the desired finish with the properly rated tires. You'll want tires you choose to have a combined capacity that exceeds the weight of the trailer and its contents.

• Can a 215/60-8 Size Tire Replace a 5.70-8 Tire for a Pop Up Camper Trailer
  The main difference between a 5.70-8 trailer tire and a 215/60-8 will be the width. Your current tire is about 5.9 inches wide and the 215/60-8 is about 8.9 inches wide. They will both be about the same height. If your current wheel setup has more than 1-1/2 inches of clearance from the inner sidewall of the tire to the frame of your trailer you would have clearance for the # AM3H290 to fit.

• Recommended Tire and Wheel to Replace Old Tires
  Thanks for the picture, I'm happy to assist. The 18.5 x 8.50-8 gives me the size we need to replace, so I recommend the Kenda 215/60-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel - 4 on 4 - Load Range C # AM3H290. You will want to inflate these tires to 50 psi before running them each time for best wear and traction. The max load rating of each tire is 935 lbs or 1870 lbs for the trailer axle. These tires come ready to install, so you just check the pressure and go. They will be a major upgrade...

• Wheel Offset of 8 and 10 Inch Trailer Wheels For Correct Backspacing
  The 10 inch wheels and 8 inch wheels have a zero offset. This means the center of the wheel will be centered on the hub. The 10 inch hubs are 6 inches wide and will have a 3 inch backspace to the outside edge of the wheel rim. The 8 inch wheels have a width of either 3-3/4 inches, 5-3/8 inches, or 7 inches. This will give you a backspacing of 1-7/8 inches, 2-11/16 inches, or 3.5 inches. Remember the tire width is wider than the rim, so for your clearance you will also need to account...

• Can 18.5 x 8.5 - 8 Tires be Replaced with 215/60-8 Tires
  You are correct, the older tire size of 18.5 x 8.5 - 8 now translates to the current metric tire size of 215/60-8.

• Tires to Replace 18.5x8.5-8 Tires on a 1971 Apache Mesa Trailer
  The 18.5x8.5-8 is actually an old tire size that is not used much anymore. The closest metric size to your existing tire would be 215/60-8, which is what I would recommend for your vintage Apache trailer. Tire and wheel combo # AM3H290 is a great choice. It is rated for 935 pounds at 50 psi. This tire and all of the 8 inch tires that we carry are rated for 65 miles per hour. So it may or may not be considered a high-speed tire but definitely highway speed. I have linked a video review...

• What is a Pilot Hole in a Trailer Tire and Wheel Combination Like Kenda Tire and Wheel # AM3H290
  The pilot diameter refers to the center hole on a tire/wheel combo like # AM3H290. This is important if the wheel is centered on the hub as opposed to the lug nuts centering the wheel. It would also matter if the pilot hole was smaller than your existing wheels. A larger hole will be fine as long as the wheel is not hub piloted. In this case, the cart has a larger pilot hole so the smaller 2.5 inch hole may not fit. Other factors when choosing a wheel/tire combo include the bolt pattern...

• Are Trailer Tires Rated for Total Gross Weight or Just Loaded Cargo Weight
  The maximum weight rating on a trailer tire like the Kenda 215/60-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8-Inch White Wheel # AM3H290 refers to the tires maximum weight carrying capacity, which includes the trailer weight plus the cargo weight, or total gross weight. This wheel/tire has a rating of 935-lbs at 50-psi. This means that a set of two of these when properly inflated to the full 50-psi cold tire pressure can handle a total load of 1870-lbs (2 x 935-lbs). This means, for example, that if...

• Should Trailer Tire Pressure Match Tire Sidewall Or Trailer Sticker?
  The max tire pressure on the tire is what you should follow. The sticker on your trailer was for the tires that came on your trailer. The replacements if inflated improperly would not operate correctly and would wear unevenly or fail if not inflated correctly. You always want to run your trailer tires with the max psi when inflated cold (before your trip begins) for proper function and load capacity.

• Replacing 16.5 x 6.5 - 8 Tires with 215/60-8 Tires on a Motorcycle Trailer
  The Kenda 215/60-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel part # AM3H290 will measure about 18.2" in diameter by about 8.5" wide. The 16.5 x 6.5 - 8 tires currently on your trailer will measure about 16.4" in diameter and about 6.5" wide. Therefore, as long as you have an addition 1.8" of height and 2" of width to fit the new tires and wheels on your trailer then they will work well for you.

• Spare Tire Cover for a 215/60-8 Bias Trailer Tire
  Since trailer tire # AM3H290 is about 8-1/2 inches wide and 18 inches tall I recommend a cover designed for 21 inch tall tires # CE27410. This cover was made for 21 x 6-1/2 inch tires so the extra height of the cover will compensate for the 6-1/2 inches and should be a nice fit on the tire.

• Replacing A 16.5 x 6.5 - 8 Wheel/Tire With A 18.5 x 8.5 - 8 Wheel/Tire
  In order to account for the new tire and wheel size, you will want to take a few measurements. A 16.5 x 6.5 - 8 wheel is 5.3" wide with an overall height of 16.5". A 18.5 x 8.5 - 8 whee is 7" wide with an overall height of 18.3". Therefore, the 18.5 x 8.5 - 8 setup will be 1.6" wider and 1.8" taller than the 16.5 x 6.5 - 8 setup. Please note that you will want to allow for 4.5" of clearance between the top of the tire and the bottom edge of the fender for proper suspension travel. If...

• Replacement Wheel, Tire and Carrier Recommendation for a 18.5x8.5-8 Tire

This wheel and tire combo has the same tire size you are trying to replace, the same bolt pattern and the same pilot hole diameter. The Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier # FSTC1000301 that you referenced would not work as it is only designed to work with wheels 10 inches in diameter and up.The only style of carrier that is going to work on a wheel of this size would be a U-bolt style...

• Going from 5.70-8 Trailer Tires on a Pop-Up Camper to 215/60-8
  With a wider tire you may have a little more side to side stability on your pop-up camper. You should note that the 5.70-8 and the 215/60-8 both have very similar tire heights, but the second size is much wider and you will need to consider the clearance on your trailer to determine if you would have the clearance. This size tire is 8.9 inches wide. You would need to go with a wider rim for the new size as well. For that you would want the Kenda 215/60-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White...

• Comparing Tire Sizes For Replacement Trailer Tires Currently Using Size 5.7-8 on Motorcycle Trailer
  Your current 5.7-8 tires are 5.7 inches wide and 18 inches in diameter. Moving to 145/80r12 tires would give you the same width, but a larger diameter of 21.1 inches. If you want to stay with your current size tires I've linked the page to all your options. This will give you a height difference of 3 inches and that reduces your wheel well or fender clearance by 1.5 inches. You need to account for suspension travel, but if you have enough clearance you can swap out your wheels and tires. For...

• What is the Next Trailer Tire Size Up from 18.5 x 8.5-8
  Technically the next size up from an 18.5 x 8.5 - 8 is a 6.90/6.00-9 but it is not common so I would not recommend going to that size. The next common size up would be a 205/65-10 such as # AM1HP52. It would be slightly more narrow but almost 2 inches taller than the 18.5 that you have now. So there would have to be enough clearance above the existing tires to use the larger size and still have room for the travel of the suspension. Going up a wheel size will require different wheels....

• Tire Options for Trailer Rim that is 8 inches In Diameter and Measures 4-1/2 inches Wide
  When calculating rim width you don't include the added width that the lip of the rim adds. It sounds like you most likely have a 3-3/4 inch wide rim and either a 4.80/4.00-8 like part # AM10004 or a 5.70-8 like # AM10013 would fit. Otherwise you would need to upgrade to new tires and rims like the part # AM30120 for if you have a 4 on 4 inch bolt patter or part # AM30140 for if you have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

• Is Kenda Trailer Tire and Wheel Combo # AM3H290 Rated for Highway Travel
  I am glad that you like the Kenda Tire/Wheel Combo, # AM3H290. All of the trailer tires that we carry are rated for 65 miles per hour and safe for highway travel as long as you stay at or under 65, follow the weight capacity which is 935 pounds at 50 psi, and have the tire inflated to the max psi (50) for best performance and longest life. Heat build up is the main enemy of the trailer tire. Trailer tires are made with a thicker sidewall to handle more vertical load. Overloading a trailer...

• 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.

• What is the Offset for 8" Trailer Wheels with 4 on 4" Bolt Pattern
  It all kind of depends on what exact tire/wheel combo you're looking at, but generally speaking trailer wheels have a zero offset so the middle of the tire is basically directly over where you mount it to the hub. If you can tell me what exact combos you're looking at I can answer your question a little more directly. The 2 combos I saw that match your descriptions are # AM3H290 and # AM3H200 which both have a zero offset.
