Expert Reply:

The Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel # AM30000 is an excellent tire and wheel combo that has a 4 on 4" bolt pattern and has review great reviews from our customers. If you just wanted the wheel it is part # AM20001 and if you just wanted the tire it is part # AM10002.

We also have the Redline Spindle # TRU94FR which measures 1.25" where it installed on the axle but it measures 0.999" where the bearings ride and uses 1" bearings, # L44643. You would have to get this welded on to your log splitter by a professional welder.

Following up on this. I need the 4.80-8 tubeless nylon tire on a rim that fits a log splitter that already has the spindle. Are spindle sizes the same? If not, how do I make sure I get the right tire/wheel combo for the log splitter. I am a consistent customer. Thank you.

It's pretty likely that your log splitter is equipped with the 1" spindle, as this is fairly standard - although it still wouldn't hurt to measure. We do have the 4.80-8 size tires available, such as the Kenda # AM10002 mentioned above, but you will need to obtain the wheel elsewhere. You need a special wheel that features tapered bearings to mount to the spindle, which you may be able to find at a local tractor supply shop or a similar online outlet.
