Recommended Radial Tire and Wheel to Replace 5.30-12 Bias Tires on Trailer

Updated 07/17/2017 | Published 07/15/2017

Question:

I have a starcraft popup with 5.30 x 12 LRC Bias ply with 4 on 4. I want to go to radial. Does the Kendra Karrier S-Trail ST 1245/R12 Radiakl #AM35351DX REPLACE MY TIRE? Thanks

The Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire w/ Wheel # AM35351DX referenced in your question will work great as a replacement for the 5.30-12 bias tires on your trailer.

As you most likely noticed, we do not currently have the 5.30-12 size available as a radial tire, so the 145/R12 size is going to be the best option to upgrade to a radial. The wheel size will be the same as what you currently have mounted and the overall diameter of the new tire is just going to about 0.6 inches shorter, which will not cause any issues.

This particular tire and wheel combo has a maximum load of 1,220 pounds at 65 psi and a maximum speed of 65 mph. It includes a 2-year limited warranty. I have attached a short video review of this product so you can see exactly how it looks.
