Replacement Radial Tire and Wheel Size 4.80x12 for Highway Speeds

Updated 04/01/2019 | Published 03/29/2019

Question:

I have a 2016 continental kayak trailer with 4.80 x 12 tires on a 5 bolt galvanized wheel. I’d like to purchase 2 radial high speed tires and rims to replace. Any advice? Thanks.

To get your high speed radial tires with wheel, we will need to move away from the galvanized wheel. We have the following options that each have a powder coat finish that will still work well on your kayak trailer:

Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 12" White Spoke Wheel # TA98RR

This combination is rated for speeds up to 81 mph..

If you want to keep your galvanized wheels, you can use the Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C # TT48012C for this same tire without a wheel. I've attached videos to assist.
