Wider Tire Recommendation to Replace 4.80-12 Tire Size
Question:
I have a aluminum trailer for a hobie cat that has Load star 4.80-12 wheels on it. I want to replace them with another wider tire to tow on soft sand. Do you have a suggestion? Similar diameter, wider tire would seem to work if the axel can reach far enough beyond the trailer frame to the tire hub. thank you

Expert Reply:
The widest tire we offer that will fit the same rim as your 4.80-12 tires is going to be a ST145/R12 tire like part # AM10140 which has a section width of 5.7 inches. Overall diameter would be increased by less than an inch.
This will give you a tire that is .8 inches wider.
