Question:

I have a Triton jetski trailer w/ 4.80-12C tires w/ 5-bolt pattern and would like to upgrade to a wider tire with a higher rating. What would you recommend?

Expert Reply:

The 4.80-12 tires you have on your jet ski trailer are 20.7" diameter x 4.9" wide. The best option we have to go with a larger width is a 5.30-12 tire which measures 21.9" diameter x 5.5" wide. For a 5.30x12 tire the highest rated option we have is the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire part # AM10068 which is rated for 1,250 lbs per tire. This particular tire has a 65 mph speed rating and it comes with a two year warranty.

I am also looking to change my jet ski trailer to wider sand friendly tires. What is the widest tire you carry that would work with a 5 bolt x 4.5" pattern? Tire height cannot exceed 23". Thanks
