I have a 4x8 ultra tow foldable aluminum trailer. 480-12 4 lug. I m looking for a good highway tire, not a heavy-duty load, a couple of etrikes and camping gear.

The best option for a highway tire is going to be switching to a radial. Radial tires have better performance in general, especially on the road. The Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire # TT48012C would be the best choice.
This tire has a capacity of 990 lbs at 90 psi and a max speed rating of M for 81 mph. It will also fit on your existing wheels. We do not have a wheel and tire combination with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern so if you want wheels as well we carry 12" wheels like the # DEX44FR or # AM20124 you can purchase separately.
