Updated 01/27/2026 | Published 08/17/2024
Question:
Hi, I am interested in p/n AM 30060, boat trailer tire. My current tire is 4.80x8, 5 on 4.5. Your tire referenced above shows not only 4.80x8, but also 4.00x8. I am curious about the difference and if this tire/ rim will work for me. Thank you in advance! Your website is very informative and the videos are very helpful! Thanks again!

Hey Thomas, this is a great question but the size 4.80-8 is the same as the 4.00-8 which is why it is listed as 4.00/4.80-8. This the correct size for you need based on it's bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inch as well.

Hey Thomas, how did the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 tire and wheel work out on your boat trailer? It’d be great to hear if the fit and bolt pattern matched up as expected. Your update could make it easier for others choosing the same size.
