The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System with Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 - Off-Road Tires - 1,200 lbs # A12WS545 is compatible with the Aluminum HWT Series S5 Split Spoke Trailer Wheel - 12" x 4" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 # AM22319HWT. With these wheels you most likely want valve stems # AM20903. For tires, I recommend the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10130.

You may also be interested in the Trailer Wheel Center Cap, 3.19" Pilot Size # 319EZ for that clean finished look.

There is one tire we have that will fit those wheels that has a slightly higher load range. It is the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # AM10140. It is a nice tire with a little bit stiffer sidewall that can handle 80 psi. The speed rating is the same at 65 mph and the load capacity increase won't increase your axle capacity. The only benefit is a stiffer wall and the draw back is a stiffer ride with no increased speed. If you go with this you will need to use the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem - 1-1/4" Long # AM20906 to handle the increased psi. For a complete tire/wheel combo. I recommend the Westlake ST205/75R15 Radial Tire w 15" Lynx Aluminum Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR D - Silver # LHAW320 which will give you a great load range and speed rating of 75 mph. This tire also has the best warranty available.

A brake axle would have brakes, either electric or hydraulic drum or disc brakes while an idler hub would have no brakes. Many times, a tandem axle trailer will have one braking axle and one idler axle. The 3500 lb capacity #35545I-EZ-89 axle you…

Answer 4

Your Kendon fold-up trailer has a 2K axle, given the 1.063 diameter spindle you referenced. Assuming you have idler hubs, you'd need #8-91-05UC1-EZ for a 4 on 4 bolt pattern or #AKIHUB-545-2-LF-2K for a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. The L44649…

Dexstar wheels are not typically limited to only being able to handle 50 psi, if there is a limit that low on a wheel it's almost always the valve stem as typically the wheel is the highest rated pressure rated component. For a higher rated valve…

Inserting a drill bit into the valve stem hole on your wheel and matching the drill size to the hole size is a route that a lot of people go, so it's certainly a fine method. If you have a digital caliper handy you could also just go the old…

Hey Shane, yes the replacement metal valve stem part #AM20906 does fit the Aluminum Eagle Trailer Wheel part #LH36VR that you referenced. It comes with fittings to allow it to basically fit all trailer wheel sizes. Did your rubber ones fail?

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

Answer 10

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…
