Kenda K371 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10002 is a 4.80/4.00-8 meaning it is for 8 inch wheels whereas a 4.80-12 is for a 12 inch wheel. For 4.80-12 tires we have several options depending on the load range (capacity) you need. I have included a link to them for you.

I recommend going with the one radial option we have in this size; # TT48012C. Radial tires run cooler and track better than bias ply tires. This tire is a load range C rated for 990 pounds at 90 psi. Trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum psi indicated on the tire so they run cooler and have full weight capacity.
