Recommended 5.70-8 Trailer Tires

Question

Question:

Do you have a small trailer tire sized 5.7/5.00-8? Im trying to fit an existing rim so I only need the tire. But the rim seems to be an uncommon size. I understand that the 5.00 in the size is the width of the rim.

Yes, we do carry 5.70-8 trailer tires, I recommend the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire part # AM10010 for load range b, part # AM10012 for load range c, and part # AM10013 for load range d. These tires have bias plies so they are great for off-road use and come with a five year warranty.

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…
