Question:
just acquired a 5x8 utility trailer with 20.5 x 8 x 10 tires. my question is will these tires hold up on long trips, small diameter = more revolutions is my concern I redo trailers some times and while working on it was wondering if it would be beneficial to change tire size also is 4 bolt hub.

Expert Reply:
As long as you are under the weight capacity for the wheel/tires as well as stay under the speed rating for them you'll be fine. For example, we have the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" White Wheel # AM3H410 which has a weight capacity of 1,320 lbs at 70 psi and a speed rating of 65 mph.
As long as you are under the numbers mentioned you'd be fine.
