Question:

I have a Malone Microsport trailer MPG461B2. Can I use these radial tires on my existing rims? Would I need to change out the valve stems due to the higher tire pressure? What tire jack do you recommend for the Microsport trailers? Thanks

Great question!

The Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire # TT48012C will fit as a replacement tire for what came on your Malone MicroSport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks # MPG461B2, but since the valve stem that comes on this wheel is only rated for up to 80 psi I would just stick with what you have since we know all of those pieces work together.

For a trailer jack I recommend the Fulton Bolt-Thru Swivel Marine Jack # F77CR which has a heavier powder coat than other options to help fit back the water and then the swing-up feature makes it easy to stow up and out of the way during travel.
