Since at this time there aren't any 15 inch diameter trailer wheels with an 8 lug bolt pattern your best option would be to go with the closest tire size to what you have now that is mounted on a wheel with an 8 lug bolt pattern like the # LHACK133 which is a tire size ST235/80R16 mounted on a 16 inch wheel with an 8 lug bolt pattern.

The overall diameter of the tire is 30.78 inches and the section width is 9.25 inch.

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…
