Question:
We are looking for tires for a 2007 StarCraft 2106 popup camper. In reviewing specs for the AM30859 and AM30861 it looks like the tire is the same, the difference is with the wheel. The AM30861 is said to be primarily for boat trailers. I also notice the AM30861 is a cheaper than the AM30859, Are the tires the same? What are the pros and cons of the wheels galvanized vs powder coated? Is there any reason why we shouldn't buy the galvanized for our popup camper?

Expert Reply:
The Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30861 and Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" White Wheel # AM30859 both have the same Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10068. The only difference is the white powder coated wheel versus the galvanized wheel. They both sit the same 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern with 0 offset.
There is no reason you cannot use the galvanized wheel on your 2007 StarCraft 2106 popup camper. It will simply be a cosmetic difference. The galvanized coating on the wheel is more corrosion resistant than the powder coat wheel which explains why it is listed to be used primarily with boat trailers.
