Expert Reply:

It appears your Load Rite PWC trailer came with wheels and tires like the Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30590. We do have the Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire # TT48012C which is the same size so you know it will fit on your current wheels. This tire is rated for up to 81mph and the radial construction performs better for highway usage. Typically moving to larger diameter wheels and tires will cause a harsher ride due to the stiffer side wall on the larger tires. It also means you will have to back your vehicle further into the water when loading and unloading your watercraft. If you have a different size wheel and tire, please let me know and I can help you find the best option.
