Question:
I am looking for a 4.80 -12 tire and wheel for the trailer I am building. What load rating do I need for a 1200 lb. trailer?

Expert Reply:
If your trailer axle is rated for 1,200 lbs gross weight then a load range B tire is going to be the best choice.
We have two white spoke wheel options with a load range B tire. If you have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern hub you will need the Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire and Wheel, # AM30580.
If you have a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern hub, you will need the Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire and Wheel, # AM30540.
Two of these wheel and tire combinations are rated for up to 1570 lbs at 60 psi.
I linked a trailer tire sizing chart for you to look over which shows the load range ratings for all of the trailer tire sizes we carry and some other trailer wheel and tire information you may find helpful.
