Question:

My utility trailer came with 155/80R12 tires. I use it to haul appliances and landscape stones. I am having a hard time finding a spare wheel and tires for it.Can this replace it without losing any functionality? Or what would be best?

Yes, if you'd like to replace your 155/80R12 tires - which seem to be a passenger tire size - you can do so with the Kenda Karrier ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire with 12" Black Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR D # AM35354.

It shouldn't be just a spare though, as you'd need to replace both tires and wheels at the same time as you can't use two different sized trailer tires. They will work good as replacements when needed though as the sizes are almost exactly the same, with the # AM35354 being about 1/2" less in diameter and some 3/8" narrower so there won't be any issue regarding the tire sizes on your trailer.
