To see all of the correct wheel and tire combos you'd need check out the link I attached.

The option I would recommend is the part # TA43RR which is a Load Range C tire size ST175/80R13 mounted on a white spoke wheel with a bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inch.

That's a pretty big jump in tire/wheel size so I'd be surprised if you can pull it off, but I guess it is technically possible. You'll likely need to upgrade your hub so you want to get a replacement that is compatible with the larger size, and then you need to make sure that you have at least 4" of clearance from the tire to the fender as well as at least 2" of clearance from the sidewall to the trailer frame. If you can cross all of this off (and retain at least 2" between tires for a tandem axle trailer) then you should be good to go.

We do have 4.80-12 tires for your Karavan jet ski trailer, but not a wheel with a 5 on 4-3/4" bolt pattern (I wouldn't know where one can be found). You can mount the tire to your current wheel so you don't need a completely new wheel,…

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…

Answer 12

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…
