Question:

I am in the market for a couple of tires and a tire mount for my jet ski trailer. Currently, the trailer has a couple of Carlisle 4.80x12 tires with 5 lugs. I was looking at your Loadstar 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12 Galvanized Wheel 5 on 4-1/2, Part Number: AM30670 and your 27310G Galvanized Steel Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier by CE Smith for 4- and 5-lug wheels, Item CE27310G. Could you let me know if the tires and mount are compatible, and if the Loadstar tires are the same as my current ones?

Hey Adin, thanks for the information. The Loadstar 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel item # AM30670 is indeed compatible with the CE Smith Offset Spare Tire Mount item # CE27310G. This is a great combo that will make storing a spare convenient. The galvanized finish on both the spare tire mount and rim will keep the rust away.

The Loadstar 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire item # AM30670 is about as comparable to a Carlisle 4.80 x 12 tire as you can get. This would be a great spare or a replacement for one of your current wheel and tires.

What kind of jet ski trailer do you have? You can add this information and any other questions you have in the box below that says Reply to Jerred H.

@AdinN That's a nice trailer. The Loadstar 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire that comes with the item # AM30670 looks like the same one that comes standard with their trailers according to their website.
