• Replacement Trailer Tire Recommendation for a 18.5x8.5-8 Tire
  The 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...

• Rim and Tire Recommendation to Replace a 215/60-8 That is Too Wide on a 2k Capacity Trailer
  A 4.80-8 trailer tire size is going to have a max capacity of 760 lbs when inflated to 90 psi per tire. So not only would it not have enough capacity it would be too skinny to fit the wider rim you have for your 215/60-8 tires. Another option you have that would provide you with a skinnier tire that would also be 3 inches taller would be to go with a 5.30-12 rim and tire like the part # AM30859. This rim has a 5 on 4 inch bolt pattern. If you have a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern you would...

• Recommended Replacement Tire for 5.70 x 8 Tire
  The outer diameter of a 5.70 x 8 tire and wheel is 18.1 inches, same as the tire, # AM1HP28 which you reference. However, a 5.70-8 fits on a 3-3/4 inch wide rim while # AM1HP28 fits on 7" rims. That 3-3/4 inch difference is quite a bit. When the tire is on the rim the larger size will be nearly 8.5 inches wide compared to 5.7 inches on the smaller size. You will need to make sure that you have about 3 inches of space between the trailer frame and the back of the 5.70-8 to go to the larger...

• Will an ST215/60-8 Trailer Tire Replace a 5.70 x 8 Tire
  Most trailer wheels have a zero offset but backspacing is going to be different amongst different rim sizes and widths. a 215/60-8 tire will have an overall diameter of 18.3 inches. a 5.70-8 has an overall diameter of 18.1 inches so there is not much difference there. The rim width is the big difference. a 5.70-8 fits on a 3-3/4 inch wide rim while a 215/60-8 fits a 7 inch. That 3-3/14 inch difference is quite a bit. When the tire is on the rim the larger size will be nearly 8.5 inches...

• Trailer Has Loud and Excessive Vibrations Loaded or Not Loaded
  Trailer tires typically do not get balanced because manufacturers tend to match the heavy spot on the tire with the light spot on the wheel. It takes a special rig to balance trailer tires, equipment that not many tire shops have anymore. The other issue is that the trailer tires we carry are rated for 65 miles per hour at most and a lot of other trailer tires are rated lower. I recommend checking the tire sidewalls to see if they have a speed rating. Staying under 70 miles per hour would...

• Wider Tire that Will Fit the Same Wheel as a 4.80x8 Trailer Tire
  We have some 215/60-8 tires, such as # AM1HP28, that are going to be just under 9 inches wide when inflated but they will not fit the same wheels you have now. And they will be over 2 inches taller. a 5.70-8 tire will fit the same wheels but it will be 2 inches taller. Only half of that height is applied above the tire (1 inch above the center of the axle and 1 inch below the center of the axle). So if you have the space for it you could go with a 5.70-8. It will be about 1.3 inches wider. I...
