Best Wheel and Tire for Trailer to Replace 4.80-12
Updated 09/08/2025 | Published 06/08/2025
Question:
I have a pair of AM30670 I got from you 2 years ago this week. Had one of them come apart on me this weekend. Im looking to replace with something more reliable. Thinking AM31202. Will those work as a direct replacement? They look a little wider. Should there be any clearance problems with width or diameter?

Hey Jeff, I would recommend going with the part # AM31202 over what you have now as the tire is a radial construction as opposed to the bias ply that was on old wheel. Radials do much better on the highway than bias ply tires. It would be a direct replacement that wouldn't have any clearance issues.
