Question:

my family just bought our first pop up camper. 1994 Coleman Destiny cedar xl. I need to replace the tires which are 5.30 x 12. The wheels are 5 lug and I saw something on the side that showed our to measure the spacing. The lugs are 2 3/4inch apart which I think means they are 5 on 4 3/4. I am having a little trouble finding wheels with that lug pattern. I was originally going to get wheel/tire combo. If I was going to just get tires and not wheels, could you recommend a tire. I am not sure what rating I would need. It is a single axle and the dry weight of the camper is something like 1300 lbs. I want to thank you in advance. I am sure we will chat again soon. Thank you

I would be happy to help you find the correct tires for your new to you 1994 Coleman Destiny Cedar XL.

Since the distance between the adjacent holes in your wheels measured 2-3/4" apart, you are correct that you have the 5 on 4-3/4" bolt pattern, but we do not offer any 12" wheels with that bolt pattern.

For replacement tires I recommend the Taskmaster 5.30R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C # TT53012C which will be an exact replacement for your current tires, and have a load rating of 1050lbs at 80 PSI so they will be more than capable of supporting your 1300lb camper. The # TT53012C also has a 81 MPH speed rating making it a great choice for driving down the highway and you will not need to worry about going too fast.

I also recommend replacing your valve stems, but you will want to make sure that the ones you choose are rated for at least 80 PSI as quite a few are only rated to 65 PSI. I recommend the # AM20907 which is rated for up to 100 PSI.

Lastly with trailer tires you always want to air them up to the max air pressure which in this case is 80 PSI since trailer tires have a different sidewall construction and running them under inflated causes excess heat to build up which can lead to premature tire wear and potential blow outs.

I included videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
