Bias Tires vs. Radial Tires
Bias ply tires are designed for off-road or agricultural applications. They are built with thick, durable nylon cords that are positioned at a 30- to 45-degree angle to the direction of travel. The layers alternate in a crisscross pattern, making the sidewalls stiffer so that the entire tire is able to flex easily. As a result, the tire provides a smooth ride and improved handling when trailering on uneven surfaces.

Seemed like they worked well. I have not kept track of the amount of miles I have put on them but they seem to be holding up well.

I purchased these to replace the tires on my boat trailer. They fit the rim but seemed slightly smaller than the tires I took off. The only other thing I noticed is that the tires were made a few months apart and had slightly different lettering. The font or design was different between the two. Since I only had one on each side, it didn’t really matter. Nobody will ever notice it. The tire was as described and should fit the need perfectly. I have already pulled it a few times but nothing heavy, just a couple hundred pounds max including the trailer.

I purchased one of these tires for my wheelbarrow last Spring. I live in the land of goatheads, prickly pear cactus, and other thorns; previous tires just didn't last. Very frustrating when you go to get the wheelbarrow and the darn tire is flat! This one has survived the Spring and all Summer without a hitch, flat or one single problem. I would highly recommend this option to anyone with a similar problem!
Can you tell which tire I like?

Thanks for writing this review!While shopping for new upgraded tires for my garden cart I read this and decided to upgrade my wheelbarrow tires at the same time.The difference between the normal wheelbarrow tire and this one is amazing and I expect it to be well worth the time and money to do it!SRC

Speedy delivery and high quality products.
I ordered the RV tire cover as well as 5 trailer tires.
I had to replace the awful and extremely poor quality tires that came with the Farm-Tuff Utility Trailer — 2,200-Lb. Capacity, Model# 03813 wagon that i ordered from Northern Tool.

Tires still in great shape, even having endured a long snowy mountain winter.
by: William01/06/2023
Good tire at a reasonable price. Very quick shipping. As usual with any shipped tire, one of them was very misshapen and was difficult to seat and air up.

It has been a year since I mounted these tires and I continue to be pleased with them. No issues.
by: AGC09/07/2023
Once mounted the tire face is a bit more rounded then expected. Would have preferred a flatter face, but these tires look good and will work just fine.
The packing and shipping boxes were great.
by: Alfred05/17/2018
I am very pleased with my tire order process, the speed of delivery, and the tires themselves. I used these tires as replacements for the original tires on my Triton LTX jet ski trailer. Exact fit and one load range better than I had. Very pleased.
by: Alex 09/06/2023
Size is perfect, haven’t put many miles on it yet, I hope it lasts a long time. Handled fine at 55 mph with 70 lbs on the trailer.
by: george08/10/2020
My tires arrived quickly which was a plus as they were needed before I could travel. I had planned on taking ‘before’ photo’s but it seems I only took after photo’s. After installing and after driving 300 miles. The tires did well and I am pleased all the way around.

The tire looks good I have not had a chance to mount it yet

A little out of shape to seal on rim. The ratchet strap trick worked. Although the 1”trap was not wide enough.
by: Joseph 02/23/2023
They ride really smooth look great, my only problem was getting the tires on the rim. The guy I got the boat from and myself took over one hour to put on one tire . I ended up taking them to a service station where they said those were some of the hardest tires to mount to the rims they ever mounted. but we finally got them on the trailer and they are smooth as silk.

I wore out 2 Carlisle tires on the other side of this trailer since I purchased this, so I bought 2 more matching tires with silver wheels and re"tired" this one to the spare even though it shows very little wear. Just wanted to change out the white rim. Only Loadstar from here on...

I use mine on a trailer for hauling 500-1200 pounds on a small trailer for my business. After a year they are still looking pretty new and holding air well. I appreciate the long wear life.
by: Charles D01/19/2017
Tire arrived on time, and is excellent quality. It was impossible for me to mount on the wheel; one side was convex and the other concave, so getting rim contact to contain air promised to be a problem, but I could not even force one side over the wheel rim. Took the tire and wheel to a local tire business, and was fortunate to see it done. The burly operator was able to force tire on wheel, but couldn't establish rim contact. After a futile struggle he attached a VERY high pressure air tank and injected a blast of air that was more like an explosion, forcing the tire to balloon out and make rim contact. After that, no problem...

The tire has proven to be of good quality and is wearing well.
by: John05/07/2018
I love, love, love this trailer tire. I have purchased and installed six of these tires, on vintage Cushman 24volt Industrial Electric vehicles (3 wheelers) and they are a GREAT addition. Classic tread design, Art Deco, Saw-Tooth side-wall styling, and rugged tire design - a perfect tough tire that adds a great finishing touch to your vintage restoration project.

Still enjoying these quality tires, no issues!
by: Doug06/23/2015
I ordered these tires, which came at a great price, for my small lawnmower trailer that may some day haul a motorcycle, and I must say I am more than pleased with product and service. The tires are all they are supposed to be and after selecting standard delivery they arrived in two days. Now that's service. I put these tires on in about two hours with a tire iron and a screw driver--no problem--I'm hauling mower. Need a tire? These guys are the tire people for me.

A decent tire, a bit tricky to mount & get sealed on a tubeless rim. But no problems in service after that.

I havent had a bit of trouble tires worked well under tow.Etrailer was great to order from and answered questions I had,I would do biz with them again!
by: Michael 02/24/2020
I am completely satisfied with my tires I purchased for my log splitter. from trailer. The tires arrived earlier than predicted (with an unrequested free shipping upgrade).
I checked the manufacturing date stamped onto the tire and the date was within an acceptable range, unlike some online sellers, who push the envelope on shelf life.
I upgraded from a Load Rating of A to C, which is overkill but hopefully will extend the life of the tire. The C rated tire was less expensive than the A rated version offered by other sellers.
I plan on buying more equipment tires from etrailer in the future.
by: RMW07/22/2017
Exactly what I wanted. Dozens of regular tire stores and auto parts stores do not carry these small size trailer tires. Even RV, camping, and boating dealers don't; they just have larger tires/wheels for bigger rigs.
I spent an entire morning searching around San Diego to replace a trailer tire that had blown out on the freeway. Fortunately I had a spare tire/wheel with me but was reluctant to get back on the road without another spare.
by: Mr Wondedrful07/27/2015
Had a blow out on the boat trailer due to the fact the tires were 45 years old. Got online and ordered new tires from etrailer and they were hear by the time I had the rims repaired and painted, I was amazed. I was amazed on all the thing they had for sale.
The only thing I was shocked on was when I call and the sales girl did not know what a inner tube was, but like I said they do have many items

See what our Experts say about this Kenda Trailer Tires and Wheels
- Do you Carry Trailer Wheels For the 4.80-8 HubYes, we have the Dexstar Steel Trailer Wheel - 8 x 3-3/4 inch Rim - 4 on 4 - White Powder Coat, item # AM2001, that is compatible with the 4.80/4.00-8 tire like the Kenda K371, item # AM10004. This wheel is the same wheel that is on the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8 inch White Wheel, item # AM30000.
view full answer... - What Tire Pressure Is Recommended On 4.80/4.00-8 Load Range C Trailer Tire For Highway SpeedsThe tires should be inflated to 90 psi on the highway as well as other roads, regardless of load size. The problem is that under inflating a trailer tire will lead to degradation of the tire. On trailer tires, the side walls are thicker than on car tires so they can handle more vertical load. An under inflated tire side wall will heat up more often and quicker and will lead to early wear and possible failure of the tire. The best thing to do is to follow the rating on the tires and inflate...
view full answer... - Availability of Tires That Fit 8" x 3-3/4" WheelsWe do have tires that will fit the Steel Trailer Wheel - 8" x 3-3/4" Rim - 4 on 4 - White # AM20001. You can use either a 4.80/4.00-8 tire or 5.70-8 tire. If you're replacing tires on your trailer I recommend choosing one that matches the size of your current tire. The Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 5.70-8 # AM10013 and the Kenda K371 Bias Trailer Tire - 4.80/4.00-8 - Load Range C # AM10004 will both work with this wheel. The # AM10013 is a load range D tire with a maximum capacity of...
view full answer... - Safe Highway Speed for Motorcycle Trailer A trailer's max speed is typically dictated by the particular tires you have installed. There should be a maximum speed listed right on the tire's sidewall itself indicated with a letter. If a speed rating isn't listed then it has a max speed of 65 mph, which is the case for the Kenda # AM10004 that you were looking at. If you can tell me what size and model Load Range C tires you have I will be happy to try and verify this. As long as you stay within both the tire's limits and local...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting 20 Year Old Trailer Tires Not Staying on WheelTrailer tires really need to be replaced at 6 years of age. Your tires being 20 years old is going to be a huge problem. If the size you need is 4.80/4.00-8 like the part # AM10004 you referenced this would be a great option as a replacement. If you have a different size let me know. You also need to be sure to keep the tires inflated to their max psi at all times too.
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Tire Recommendation for a 18.5x8.5-8 TireThe 18.5x8.5-8 is actually an old tire size that is not used much anymore. The closest metric size to your existing tire would be 215/60-8, which is what I would recommend. The 4.80-8 tire size that you are interested in is designed to fit 3-3/4 inch wide rims, whereas the 215-60-8 that is close to what you have currently is designed to fit 7 inch wide rims so I do not think a 4.80-8 would install on your rim. Plus the fact that the 4.80-8 has much lower capacity than the 215/60-8 tire...
view full answer... - Recommended Load Range C Boat Trailer Tires in Size 4.80-8 Increased load and higher driving speeds both tend to cause tires to run hotter, and it is possible that this combination of factors has led to your two recent blowouts. A higher load range tire can deal with the increase in your trailer weight. However, most trailer tires are rated for only 65-mph unless specifically stated otherwise. None of our tires in your size carry a higher speed rating. In your tire size we offer a tire only, Kenda Bias Ply Load Range C tire # AM10004, and also...
view full answer... - Upgraded Galvanized Wheels and Tires on a Malone Ecosport TrailerYes, there is a galvanized wheel and tire combo for the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer item # MAL93FR. These trailers all use the same replacement spare tire item # MAL33FR. To save a little money because you won't be needing the extra brackets. You will want to use the Kenda 165/65-8 Bias Trailer Tire Load Range C item # AM3H240. This is a 8" galvanized wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 lug pattern. The tire is a load range C with a 6 ply rating. It has a maximum load capacity of 800 lbs at 70 psi.
view full answer... - Trailer Tire Recommendation for a Triton Snowmobile Trailer with 18.5x8.5-8 Tubeless TiresWe do have trailer tires that will fit your Triton Snowmobile trailer. Check out the Loadstar K399 Bias Trailer Tire, # AM1HP26. This is a tubeless, bias trailer tire that exceeds DOT standards. Its size is 215/60-8 which is the same as 18.5x8.5-8. The Kenda K371 Bias Trailer Tire, # AM10004, tire that you have referenced is too small for your trailer rims.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Tire for 4.80-8 4 Trailer Transporting 500lb MotorcycleIt sounds like you meant that your current tire is 4.80/4.00-8. With this tire size you have indicated you have a 4 on 4 bolt pattern. The right tire for your trailer is one that fits the 3-3/4 inch rim width. In the 4.80/4.00-8 size the Kenda Load Range B # AM10002 or the Load Range C # AM10004. In the 5.70-8 size, Load Range B # AM10010, Load Range C # AM10012, or Load Range D # AM10013. In all honesty, I would stick with the higher rated 4.80/4.00-8 Load Range C tire # AM10004,...
view full answer... - What Size Valve Stem to Use with Kenda K371 Trailer TireThe valve stem you'll need with the Kenda Tire K371 # AM10004 will be based on the wheel you have as it depends on the valve stem hole size. With that said we have the # AM20906 which fits both sizes and would work great. This tire does not require a tube.
view full answer... - Can Higher Capacity 4.80-8 Trailer Tires be Used on a Motorcycle TrailerUsing two 4.80-8 trailer tires rated for 590 pounds each would provide a capacity of 1,180 pounds total. If the motorcycle weighs 900 pounds then it is within the capacity of those tires. Going to a higher capacity tire such as # AM10004 rated for 745 pounds at 90 psi would provide a capacity of 1,490 pounds. However, using higher capacity tires does not increase the capacity of the trailer. You are still limited to the lowest rated component. So you will still need to go by the trailers...
view full answer... - Highway Legal 4.80/4.00-8 Tire that Can Go Up to 65 MPHYou are correct and I do have a tire for you. However, you don't want to use the Kenda Loadstar K371 Bias Trailer Tire - 4.80/4.00-8 item # AM10002 on the highway at 70 mph. Instead you will want the Kenda K371 Bias Trailer Tire - 4.80/4.00-8 - Load Range C item # AM10004. This tire is the same size but is a Load Range C tire. It is rated to be used on the highway but has a maximum speed of 65 mph when inflated to 90 PSI. This is our highest rated 4.80/4.00-8 tire. For a great tire and...
view full answer... - Replacement Tire For Wood SplitterThe k8a8 to8 number you referenced sounds like it may be a DOT number and actually not the size of the tire you need to replace on your wood splitter. If you can find the tire size on the tire it will make it much easier to recommend a replacement. I have attached a link to our product page for the 8 inch tires we offer. You may find a number like 4.80/4.00-8 on the tire, which would be similar to our Kenda K371 Bias Trailer Tire, part # AM10004. I have attached a helpful article about...
view full answer... - What Is The Size Difference Between A 4.80/4.00-8 and 5.70-8 Trailer Tire?I would be happy to go over the dimensional differences between a 4.80/4.00-8 and 5.70-8 tire with you. A 4.80-8 tire like the Kenda K371 Bias Trailer Tire - 4.80/4.00-8 - Load Range C # AM10004 measures in at 4.7" wide and 16.1" tall where a 5.70-8 tire like the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 5.70-8 - Load Range C # AM10012 measures in at 5.9" wide and 18" tall. If you have the smaller 4.80/4.00-8 tire it may be possible to upgrade to the larger 5.70-8 tire but you will need to take...
view full answer... - Are Tubes Needed For The Kenda K371 Bias Trailer Tire - 4.80/4.00-8 - Load Range C # AM10004Tubes are not needed in the Kenda K371 Bias Trailer Tire - 4.80/4.00-8 - Load Range C, part # AM10004. All of our trailer tires are tubeless tires. You will not want to use a tube in a tubeless tire because that would double the heat buildup inside the tire which will cause the tire to fail. The heat is increased because a tubeless tire is built with a liner on the inside of the tire. When you put a tube inside the tubeless tire, on top of that liner, that will cause the extra heat buildup. The...
view full answer... - Lug Nut Torque Rating for a 5-Lug Trailer WheelThe correct torque for installing lug nuts on your 5 X 8 trailer's 5-lug wheels will depend on the size of the lugs. For a 1/2-inch lug the torque spec ranges from 75- to 85-ft-lbs. For a 9/16-inch lug the torque spec ranges from 135- to 145-ft-lbs. Please refer to the linked chart. You will want to avoid using an impact wrench or any other tool that cannot provide measured force. Use a torque wrench for accurate results. You should re-torque them at 10 miles, 25 miles, and 50 miles, and...

- Overall Diameter of Kenda K371 Bias Ply TireI have references every place I could find and see to be coming up with sizes from 15.75-16.25" I think this is a measurement that is hard to get with the nature of a bias ply tire not being exactly round. The Kenda K371 Bias Trailer Tire - 4.80/4.00-8 - Load Range part # AM10004 seems to fall in the middle range of these measurements at the 16.1" mark and seems to meet your needs with the exception of the overall size. I also have the same size in Kenda tires with rims part # AM30060...

The tire/wheel item you referenced, part # AM30050, includes this C-rated tire on a galvanized 4-on-4 wheel. All of these trailer tires carry a speed rating of 65-mph. Unless we indicate a different speed rating on the page, all trailer tires we sell are rated for 65-mph. In your tire size we do not offer a higher-speed-rated tire; larger...
view full answer... - Are There Radial Tires That Can Replace 4.80/4.00-8 Tires On a TrailerI do have an option for you but there won't be enough room to mount radial tires. The minimum size needed for radial is 12". I recommend simply purchasing new bias ply tires so you can be sure they are in good shape for the trip. The Kenda K371 Bias Trailer Tire part # AM10004 is what I recommend which has a load range c rating. If you want to purchase the tire and wheel pre-mounted which is usually more cost effective than paying to have what the old tires removed and new ones mounted,...

The proper torque specs for this size is 70 to 80 foot pounds, as indicated on the attached chart. A 17 mm size lug nut would be very odd on a trailer but if this is truly what you have please let me know and I will be happy to try and find the correct specs.

- Availability of Tire Wider Than 4.80-8 to Fit on 8 Inch WheelFor an 8 inch wheel, you could go with a 5.70-8 tire size, which would be almost an inch wider. This tire fits on an 8 inch by 3-3/4 inch rim, but would be about 2 inches taller in diameter. If going with a taller and wider tire would not cause any clearance issues on the inside with the trailer or the fenders, this would be a good way to go You can see our available 5.70-8 tires by clicking on the link I provided.
