What is the Difference Between a 4.80/4.00 x 8 Trailer Tire and a 4.80 x 8 Trailer Tire
Updated 04/12/2011 | Published 04/10/2011
Question:
I was looking at replacing the tires on my boat trailer and the current tires on there are 4.80x8.... I keep seeing 4.80/4.00x8 tires everywhere. Is there a difference in that size or is it the same thing?

Expert Reply:
The 4.80/4.00x8 tire size is exactly the same as a 4.80X8 tire as long as the load range is the same. The Kenda K371 Bias Trailer Tire, item # AM10004, is a load range C tire.
The 4.00 is added to the tire description so that those who have the older 4.00x8 tires, which are no longer available, will know that this size is compatible with their trailer.
I have linked an FAQ on tire sizes.
