Can 4.80-8 be Replaced with 5.70-8

Question

Question:

My current wheel setup on a light trailer is 4.80-8 and would like to upgrade to bigger tire like the 5.70-8 load C or D... if they will fit my wheel base. I have attached an image of my wheel lugs pattern for reference . Thanks.

The larger tire 5.70-8 like the part # AM10013 would work great in place of the tire you have now and would actually fit the same rim. Your picture didn't make it through but if you have a 5 lug wheel you'd want the # AM30153 or for a 5 lug wheel # AM30155.

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…
