Question:
My Carry On 5x8 utility trailer came with 4.8x12 bias tires. It’s time to replace them and I’d like to upgrade to radial tires. It appears that ST145/R12 and 5.30R12 are both suitable replacements for my 5 on 4 1/2, 12”x4” rims. I looked at your tire/rim combos of AM31202 and but can't find one for the ST145/R12 size. Other than slight differences in load capacities E vs D are there additional performance differences to consider? Which of the two is better? I’m looking for the best all around performing tire regarding load, hwy speeds, wear, etc. Do you suggest other options? Thank you!

The Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # AM10140 and the Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel - 12" x 4" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver # LH45FR is the wheel and tire that you want. There is very little difference between the two except for Load Range. I would choose the higher load range. These do not come mounted, so you can have them mounted at a local shop when they arrive.
