Expert Reply:

It is not recommended to use tubes in a tubeless tire like the Kenda K353 # AM10012 because it will generate more heat in the tire which can lead to a blowout.

If you are looking for a tire with tubes because the wheels on your trailer are designed for tube tires, I recommend replacing the wheel and tire. To do this, you only need to know your wheel's bolt pattern; if you are unsure what it is I have added a link to a help article detailing how to find it. For a 5.70-8 bias tire and wheel combo, the available bolt patterns are 4 on 4" and 5 on 4-1/2".

There are four options for a 5.70-8 bias tire with a load range of C and 8" wheel. The 5 on 4-1/2" bolt patterns are the Kenda # AM30140, which is a white wheel and Kenda # AM30150, which is a galvanized steel wheel. If you have a 4 on 4" bolt pattern the options are the Kenda # AM30120, which has a white wheel and Kenda # AM30130, which has a galvanized steel wheel.
