• Replacement 4.80-12 Tires Needed For A Boat Trailer
  Hey Mike, A load range C tire only having 450lbs of capacity, even at that size sounds a little low. Are you sure they're only rated for 450lbs max? If that really is the case then you're right on the edge of those tires capacity and the tow vehicle is likely picking up the rest of the weight via the tongue weight of the trailer. Could you possibly make it the 50 miles to your destination? Yes, but should you risk a blowout and potentially damaging or losing the boat, trailer, and possibly...

• How Much PSI Should I Put In a 4.80 x 12 Trailer Tire
  The psi of your trailer tires will be listed on the side wall. It will list the max psi which is what you will want to fill them to regardless of how much weight you have. For reference, the 4.80 x 12 tires we carry have a 60 psi max for load range B and 90 psi max for load range C. If you would like you can put in less than the maximum psi but this I cannot recommend. With that being said, while you are looking for the psi range you may want to consider noting the overall condition of...

• Best Replacement 4.80-12 Size Tire for a 2002 Viking Saga Pop-Up Camper
  The best 4.80-12 size tire for your 2002 Viking Saga pop-up camper is the Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire # TT48012C because the radial design is better for highway use as it better dissipates heat, it has a load range of C (990 lbs at 90 psi), and a max speed rating of 81 mph.

• How to Fix Top of Trailer Tires Rubbing Fender
  You actually should shoot for 4-1/2" of clearance between the top of your tire and the bottom of the fender well. This accounts for flex in your suspension. Unless 2,280 lbs is the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) of your trailer then you need to look into lifting your trailer as opposed to smaller tires. Even just going down to 4.80R12 tires, like part # TT48012C, gives you an overall weight capacity of 3,960 lbs. This means that you can load about 1,700 lbs on your trailer before it...

• 4.80-12 Trailer Tires Wearing in Middle Could it be 30 Inch Slipper Springs
  Hi Gary, Yes, it is possible the bounce is causing the issue with your tires wearing out more in the middle. You may try lowering the psi in the tires to help stop the bouncing, or going with a lower-rated tire like the load range B Kenda # AM10060. This has a 785 lb per-tire capacity, and it is important to makes sure the tires have a capacity that meets or exceed the GVWR of your trailer. That can be tough with a homemade trailer, of course, so I recommend weighing it fully loaded to...

• How to Identify Axle on 2006 Continental JB157-700 Trailer
  Hello Burns; as long as the axle isn't significantly longer this may be possible but you will need to start by identifying what you have now. Specifically the axle capacity and the hub face measurement. I would start by checking the axle tag to see what information is listed. The capacity can typically be found here at a minimum. If you have a serial number the axle manufacturer can find this information for you. If the length of the axle isn't listed you will have to measure. Take a...

• Upgrading 4.80-12 Wheels and Tires on Triton PWC Trailer For Better Highway Trips
  A radial tire like the Taskmaster 4.80R12 # TT48012C is a lot better for longer trips. The radial construction is ideal for highway use as it will run cooler than a Bias # AM30670 tire like you have. It also has a much higher speed rating of 81mph while your tire is most likely limited to 55mph. Personally I prefer using an aluminum Wheel # LH45FR on a boat trailer as it will better resist corrosion. It will also help to keep the tire cooler since aluminum is better at dissipating heat....

  The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # DEX44FR does have a 2.84" pilot hole diameter.
