Will a 4.80-12 Size Trailer Tire fit on a Wheel that had a 5.30-12 Sized Tire
Question:
I bought a trailer to pull behind my motorcycle and the tires look like theyve rubbed on the fender. It has a 5.30-12 entire on a 4.5n mag wheel. Will a 4.80-12 fit on this rim, thinking it should resolve my clearance issues?

Expert Reply:
The tire size 4.80-12 and 5.30-12 both fit the same tire size of 12 inch diameter and 4 inch in width. The 4.80 will be about 1-1/2 inches less in diameter and .7 of an inch narrower.
Sounds like this would solve your issue. For just a tire I would recommend the part # AM10062. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
