Replacement Tire and Wheel For a Harbor Freight 1,100LB Utility Trailer With 4.80-12 Tires

Question

Question:

The written specs. say the pilot diameter is 2.65 and the video says 2.84. I think the Harbor Freight 4x8 1100lb capacity trailer takes a 2.84 pilot diameter, but I am not sure. Will this fit the HF trailer? Will this fit Item # TT48012C Taskmaster radial tire?

Expert Reply:

The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # DEX44FR does have a 2.84" pilot hole diameter. As there are several models of the Harbor Freight 1,100lb trailer I recommend checking your specific trailer hubs to ensure this will fit. Do remember that the wheels are lug centric so it can have a larger opening than the trailer hub pilot.

The Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire # TT48012C will fit this the Dexstar wheel.
