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.
