Question:
I recently had a question for your experts about replacing my 4.80-12 wheels to a 13. I realize now I should probably stay with a 12inch setup. Your expert suggested the #AM30861. I like the look of the black wheels #AM35354 more than the one he suggested. Do you think this latter setup would work on my boat trailer without having to modify anything. Thanks in advance.

Hey Neil. The # AM30861 and # AM35354 are very similar in size. The Kenda Karrier ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire # AM35354 is actually slightly smaller in diameter than the Kenda 5.30-12 tires, so out of the two 12" tires you mentioned, this will be your best bet for an upgrade. I do still suggest that you measure to make 100% sure you will have enough clearance to fit a tire 5.7" wide and 21.3" in diameter.
