Since both a ST145/R12 size tire, like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM10130, and a 5.30-12 size tire, like the Kenda K353 #AM10068, fit a 12 inch wheel, a ST145/R12 size tire can replace a 5.30-12 size tire. Keep in mind that these tires do have…
Hey Keith, if you exceed the speed rating of your trailer tire you will end up overheating the tire and that will most likely cause it to fail. This is definitely going to be very likely if you are driving 12 to 14 hours at a time. Best option would…
The Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 5.30-12 - Load Range C #AM10066 has a speed rating of 65 mph and like you mentioned a max load capacity of 1,045 lbs at 80 psi. However you should make sure that the combined maximum load rating is higher than the…
We do not carry a radial trailer tire in 5.30-12 size but there is another option. You can also use a 145/80-12. Both tires will fit on a 4 inch wide rim and can have similar weight capacities. The one size difference is that the 145/80-12 is 0.6…

For a high-quality trailer tire that is size 4.80-12 and wheel with a 4 on 4" bolt pattern I strongly recommend the Kenda KR25 ST145R12 Radial Trailer Tire with 12" Aluminum Wheel #AM31208HWT. This wheel and tire combo is load range D with…

Kenda trailer tires are primarily made in China like most trailer tires. The only Radial trailer tires that I'm aware of that are made in the United States are the Goodyear Endurance line. Carlisle has a bias ply line of tires made in the States,…
The Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E #AM10140 and the Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel - 12" x 4" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver #LH45FR is the wheel and tire that you want. There is very little difference between…
A 5.30-12 tire measures about 22 inches in diameter. A 175/80-13 tire would be about 2 inches larger in diameter at 24 inches. This means that the top of the tire will be 1 inch closer to the underside of the fender. Under a full load, we recommend…
The modern size equivalent of the 20.5x8-10 that you have currently would be the same size tire that is on the #AM3H340 that you referenced, 205/65-10. As long as the bolt pattern of your current hubs are 4 on 4 inch the wheels of this would bolt up…

What accessories can I add to make my travel trailer better?
There are tons of options! For cargo, you can add hitch-mounted carriers, roof racks, or cargo bins to keep everything organized. Inside, proper ventilation, good lighting, and a heater can make it way more comfortable. And for safety, things like sturdy steps, grab handles, and handrails are a must. It’s all about making your trailer functional and cozy for the road.
How do I keep my plumbing and electrical systems in good shape?
Regular checks are key! For plumbing, look for leaks in the water lines and make sure the water heater is working properly. For electrical, check your power cords, generators, and 12V outlets for any wear or damage. Catching issues early can save you a lot of hassle down the line.
How do I prep my travel trailer for different weather?
For ventilation, make sure you’ve got roof vents or fans to keep air flowing and control humidity. If it’s cold, a reliable heater is a lifesaver. And don’t forget to check the roof for leaks—it’s your first line of defense against bad weather.
How do I make towing my travel trailer easier?
A weight distribution hitch can help balance the load, reducing sway and improving control. Adding extended towing mirrors also improves visibility. If you’re towing frequently, you might want to consider upgrading to a brake controller for smoother stops.
What’s the best way to organize my travel trailer?
Start with storage bins or collapsible containers to make the most of your space. Over-the-door organizers and hooks are great for smaller items. For the kitchen, look into nesting cookware or collapsible dishes to save cabinet space.
