Replacement 12 inch Trailer Tire Recommendation for Pop Up Camper
Updated 09/02/2025 | Published 06/26/2025
Question:
I am looking to replace tires on my 1996 cooking pop up camper. Current tires are 5.30-12, with a load rating of C. I believe the weight is around 3000 lbs. What would you recommend? We only use it a couple times a year and not for extremely long distance.

Hey Michael, I would go with the Kenda Karrier ST145/R12 trailer tire part # AM10140 for your pop up. It fits the same wheel you have and is a radial with a higher speed rating and weight capacity. Have you had any issues with trailer tires in the past?
