• Larger Wheel and Tire Options To Improve Highway Speed Rating For Harbor Freight Trailer 4.8-8 Tires
  The 4.8-8 tires on your Harbor Freight trailer are most likely like the Kenda # AM10004 tires with a 55mph speed rating. We do have the Kenda 4.80-12" # AM30540 tires which have a higher speed rating of 65mph. Do note the tires are much taller at 20.5" in diameter versus only 16" which you have now so you will have to modify the fenders to make everything fit. A better option if you can make them fit is to use the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire w/ 12" White Spoke Wheel #...

• Can 8 Inch Trailer Tires be Replaced with 12 Inch Trailer Tires
  Hey, thanks. You're not so bad yourself! Going to a larger tire size is possible but there are a few things to think about. Chief among these things is clearance. When going from an 8 inch tire to a 12 inch tire the diameter will increase by 4.4 inches. This means that if there is anything above the tire such as a fender the larger tire may not fit. Even if you have the clearance now you also have to account for the travel of the suspension. The width between the two sizes is not a concern...

• Replacement 12 Inch Wheel and Tire for a Harbor Freight/HaulMaster Trailer
  When measuring for bolt pattern on an even bolt pattern you would measure from the center of one hole to the center of the hole diagonally across from it. In your picture you started measuring at the 1 inch mark. So if the adjacent measurement is 2-13/16 or 2-7/8 inches on center as it looks in your picture then the diagonal is 4 inches. For a replacement tire and wheel for your trailer you can use # AM30540. I also recommend a spare tire carrier such as # CE27310G.

• New Spindles, Hubs, Tires, and Wheels for a Canoga Concrete Mixer/Trailer
  The LM67048 is a pretty large bearing for a trailer that only weighs 400 pounds. So there isn't a hub that uses that bearing as both the inner and the outer. But if you are willing to remove the old spindles and have new ones welded on then I do have a solution for you. First for the spindles: I recommend a BT8 spindle # TRU97FR for a square stub or # TRU94FR for a round stub. These spindles are usually found on 2,000 pound axles so they have plenty of capacity for your cement mixer trailer. The...

• Upgrading to 12" Wheels and Tires on 1993 Coleman Pop Up With 5.70-8 Tires
  Replacing your tires with a larger size on your 1993 Coleman camper is a matter of having enough clearance. If you want to switch to a 12" wheel and tire I recommend getting the smallest one you can. 5.70-8 tires like the # AM30153 have an outer diameter of 18" and section width of 5.8". The # AM30740 you were looking at has an outer diameter of 21.9" so you are going to lose 1.95" of clearance on the top. You need a minimum of 3" for regular suspension travel. The # AM30540 which is...

• Is There a 4.80-12 Trailer Tire and Wheel With a 2-1/2" Hub Center Bore?
  The smallest wheel center pilot bore we have for a 4.80-12 trailer tire is going to be 2.84". Here is a list of the wheel and tire packages we have with that measurement. Do understand all these wheels are designed to be lug centric so they do not have to be the same size as the hub center.

• Size 4.80-12 Tire/Rim Recommendations for Pop-Up Camper
  The main issue people run into when switching to larger tires is that there isn't enough clearance, but if you have been using the larger tires for years without a problem, then it sounds like the size isn't an issue for your trailer. The next factor you'll want to consider when buying new tires is the bolt pattern of your wheel. Our 4.80-12 tires come in a 4 on 4” bolt pattern (4 lugs) and a 5 on 4-1/2” bolt pattern (5 lugs). I've attached an article on how to determine your bolt pattern....

  The tire size of 4.80-12 like what comes on the part # AM30630 is right at 3 inches narrower overall than the tire size of 185/80-13 so you would gain over an inch of inner sidewall room like you are needing.

• If Trailer Wheel Attaches with Wheel Bolts Does the Pilot Diameter of Wheel Matter for Replacement
  Since you have wheel bolts instead of lug nuts to secure the wheels of your trailer you will need to find a wheel with the exact same size pilot hole since your wheels are hub-centric, meaning they center on hub with the pilot hole. Of the 12 inch rims we offer, none of them match your pilot diameter. They all have 3.19 inch pilot diameters. The biggest size rim we have with a matching pilot diameter would be a 10 inch rim. The only size we have would be the 205/65-10 like part # AM3H390...

• Speed Ratings of 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tires
  To get a speed rating of 81 mph, you can purchase the tire and wheels separately and have them mounted at a local shop. You would use the wheel, part # AM20122 and the tire part # TTWSF48012C. I attached videos of both of these products. If you can settle for speed of 65 mph, you could choose a pre-mounted pair from the attached list.

• Can 12 Inch Trailer Tires and Wheels be Used in Place of 8 Inch Tires and Wheels
  A 12 inch tire and wheel is going to be over 4-1/2 inches taller than a 4.80-8 tire, half of which is applied to the top of the tire so you will need more than 2.3 inches between the tops of the existing tires and the fenders plus the distance needed for the suspension to travel so estimate 3-1/2 to 4 inches at most. If you have that much space above the existing tires then you could go to a 4.80-12 such as # AM30540.

  None of our trailer tires, including parts # AM30620 and # AM30540 come with tubes in them. They are tubeless tires and the inside of the tires has a coating that acts as a tube so one will not need to be purchased separately.

• When Should I Replace My Trailer Tires?
  In general, we here at etrailer recommend changing trailer tires every 5-6 years. This includes tires like your Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" White Wheel - 4 on 4 - Load Range B # AM30540.

• Backspacing of Trailer Wheel and Tire Combo part # AM30540
  The backspacing of the wheel that comes with the wheel and tire combo part # AM30540 that you referenced is 2-1/4 inches. This is calculated by taking the width of the wheel (4 inches) adding an additional inch for the lip on the wheel and then dividing by two.
