The closet option we have available to your 2.1 hub bore measurement is with the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB2080 in Chrome or # BB2080SS in Stainless Steel (for superior corrosion resistance). These are designed to fit a hub bore diameter of 2.080 inches.

Since it's so close I recommend verifying your measurement with a digital caliper to get an exact dimension. I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well.

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…
