The wheel/tire combo I recommend for a Shorelandr Personal Watercraft Carrier (PWC) is the Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel part # AM30630 for a 4 bolt pattern or the Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel part # AM30670 for a 5 bolt pattern. These two options both come with wheels which will be great for use on a boat trailer due to their resistance to corrosion which can cause leaks.

Hey Hubert! We do not have many options in 4.80-12 tire, especially for a boat trailer. Our best one is going to be the Loadstar 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel item #AM30670. This wheel has a 5 on 4-1/2" lug nut pattern…

Hey Mike, if you can fit a larger 12 inch wheel and tire like the part #AM35351DX which is a ST145R12 on a 4 lug wheel this will be your best option as it will have a higher speed rating than what you have now and will also have a higher weight…
