Replacement Tire for Carlisle 4.80-12 on 12 inch Wheel
Published 10/19/2021
Question:
I have a 12 inch dia. x 4I assume bead seat to bead seat 4 bolt wheel rim with a 4.80-12 tire mounted. I would like to know if a 3.75-12 tire could be mounted on the same rim?

I did some research on your Carlisle 9009705 tire/wheel combo and your wheel has a 12" diameter and has a 4" width (which is bead seat to bead seat). A wheel having a 3-3/4" bead seat measurement is pretty unusual so even if this were the case I would recommend that you use a whole different assembly so that it's easier to replace the tire in the future.
To replace your current tire I highly recommend the Taskmaster # TT48012C because it has a weight rating of 990 lbs at 90 psi and a max speed rating of 81 mph which is really hard to beat. I've attached a review video for you to check out.
