Question:
I have a 16foot aluminum bass boat, single axle trailer. It currently has Carlisle 5.30-12 Sport Trail bias ply tires, 5/4.5 lug, 6 ply. I would like to upgrade to radial tires and stay at 12. Would the Kenda Karrier AM31202 fit? Or might the AM10140 fit my current rims and work fine? Is there a 13inch radial that might work?

Expert Reply:
Hey Bruce, yes the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire w/ 12" Galvanized Spoke Wheel # AM31202 that you referenced will work great to replace your Carlisle 5.30-12 Sport Trail bias ply tires. The tire sizes are very similar and it's a radial like you are wanting as well.
The part # AM10140 would also fit on your current wheels as well if that's the route you wanted to go as well.
