I believe you mean 4.80-12 size tires like the Taskmaster 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire - Load Range C (990 lbs at 90 psi) # TTWSF48012C which also have a speed rating of 81 mph. Since you add the carrying capacity of each tire for your system together this means that 2 of these tires can handle up to 1,980 lbs which is well over what your camper weighs so you are good to go!
