Taskmaster Radials
Taskmaster radials have double polyester cords and double steel belts for increased durability and endurance. A protective layer of nylon is wrapped around the steel belts to help prevent tread separation. Taskmaster radials are bake tested - a process usually reserved for automotive tires - to ensure that the rubber holds up over time.
The standard tread on this tire has solid, continuous ribs, and there are very few sipes (or thin grooves) cut into the rubber. This tire is designed for use on trailers, so it doesn't require the level of traction that would be needed on a vehicle that is braking or steering.
Radial Tires vs. Bias Tires
Radial ply tires are designed for trailers that are towed on the highway. The cords on a radial tire are positioned at a 90-degree angle to the direction of travel so that they lay across the width of the tire from wheel lip to wheel lip. This construction prevents the cords from rubbing against one another when the tire flexes, unlike the cords on a bias ply tire. As a result, radial tires have less rolling resistance and heat buildup, which leads to a longer tread life and improved steering at higher speeds.

These Taskmaster 4.80R12 radials replaced a set of bias-ply tires that came with a 2003 LoadRite galvanized 5' x 8' flatbed single-axle utility trailer I purchased in June, 2022. After making several short local runs, the new tires got their first real workout during a trip from Pennsylvania to Georgia. The trailer was loaded to about 2/3 of its rated 1,620-lb. capacity. Those of you who travel up and down the East coast know how rough some sections of major roadways can be. In all conditions encountered (including driving rain, "uneven lanes" and flooded highways) the tires tracked rock steady and performed flawlessly. As I previously experienced with etrailer, customer service, website information and delivery were all 5-star. The site's recommendation of radial tires for highway-use applications was the main factor in my decision to buy this product and, so far, I am very pleased with the results.

Just got delivered. They are not installed yet but they look good. We will see once they are installed and on my trailer. Need tired for freeway use so hopefully they hold up on my freedom trailer

Sweet trailer! These will look awesome. Maybe send us another picture once theyre installed? Also, thank you for your service!

I bought this tire due to it being one of the most expensive tires on the market. I want my jet ski safe and not on crap tires. I have a triton trailer. I used a ceramic coating on them to hopefully extend their life.

The tires were delivered to my front door very quickly and the quality looks great. Can't wait to get them mounted.

I was wearing out two sets of bias tires per summer. I switched to the Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C radial tires, and after many miles on rough asphalt and gravel roads, they are holding up VERY well. Would highly recommend these tires. Looks like they will last at least two more years or more.
by: Steven 08/25/2023
Ordered with high pressure valve stems and bearings, races, seals. Seals had spring-tension around the lip which were like my original 1966 Alloy trailer seals! (Had been looking for that type for over 30 years). Even cotter pin supplied with bearings. Everything I needed in short order.
by: Creed04/29/2024
Tires arrived on time as promised and were packed extremely well to ensure no damage. Have yet to put many miles on the tires but so far very impressed and feel that they will provide good service.

I have driven the trailer little since I put these new radial tires on it. They did pull very well for the distance I pulled them. They hold inflation very well

Excellent tires; this is a replacement set for the same tires I had on my motorcycle trailer. Very pleased with the product

I like radials but I am not happy with this tire. That said, I did purchase two more as they are the only radial tires in this size that I can find. Before, I was using a 4 ply tire on my trailer that lasted about 2 years. After losing the entire outer tread, I decided to go with this more expensive radial believing it would last longer. IT DID NOT. I got less than 5,000 miles out of it on a 500 pound trailer before the center belt shredded on the left wheel. Perhaps this tire was defective. I’ll try another to find out. Tried loading a picture to show but it say unsuccessful. Guess bad reviews are not shown.

Since trailer tires are built with a thicker side wall they are designed to take a heavier load so they dont really have a mileage rating. Most trailer tires last 5-6 years before they should be replaced. However, there a few reasons for failure. Heat buildup is the leading reason for blow outs so it is a good idea to keep your trailer under the weight capacity of the tires. Overloaded tires allow for heat build up which leads to blow outs. These tires also require max PSI at all times. If they are underinflated tires also leads to heat buildup.
by: Clay05/22/2023
I spent extra money on these tires because I wanted to buy something nicer than the big box store tires. However, Etrailer sent me a pair that were over 2 YEARS OLD! When checking Etrailers website it even says that trailer tires lifespans are suggested to be 4-6 years...
When I reached out to etrailer Amy LE said this was normal practice for them and that I should just be happy with it.
Im sure the tire company is great but the customer service at Etrailer is subpar.

Beefy tires for a 12 inch wheel. Load range C and takes up to 90 psi. I run them on a utility trailer and they roll down the road just peachy.
by: Phil07/03/2022
Bought a year ago, have not driven with them a lot, but my purpose was to provide margin for highway travel over the stock tires on my Malone kayak trailer (nothing wrong with the stock tires but 65 mph max rating and bias ply construction). The new tires track nice and show no signs of abnormal wear. While the loaded trailer is about 400 lbs, I run the tires at side wall max of 90 psi. From what I have read to date, it seems trailer tires recommendations cluster around the position to run side wall max, 90 psi for these. Delivery was fast as it has always has been with etrailer. Very happy customer.

Galvanized rim for trailer spare. We live near salt water, and I only buy galvanized rims. Had to buy the tire, valve stem, and rim separately as this size radial tire is not sold as a combo-package, only sell bias ply tires on painteNd rims as combo package. If there was an option to have etrailer mount the tire, I didn’t see it. Fortunately, some of us old guys still know how to put a tire on a rim. The tire, rim & high pressure valve stem are all excellent quality (you always have to smooth the galvanized “barnacles” on a new rim in the seal area). Shipping & delivery was fast, and the tire mounted and inflated easily.

This spare tire fits my trailer mounted manlift, and my son’s 30’ RV trailer. Used it for a short period while I got a new replacement tire. No problems, it’s cheap insurance against getting stranded.

Product arrived on time packaged neatly with all 3 tires in a box. Tires were date coded Dec 2016, so a little old but should give a couple years service I hope. Tires were in great shape. Replacing the bias ply tires on my teardrop trailer to hopefully get better service on the highway. Time will tell, but have had good luck so far using etrailer for parts on the teardrop.

After a year tires are wearing great on the trailer. These are the best tires that have been on the trailer. A couple thousand miles on them so far. Definitely will put another set of them on the tear when these wear out.

- Recommended Higher Speed Rated Tires For Harbor Freight Trailer W/ 4.80-12 TiresTypically on a trailer the only part that has a speed rating is the tire itself, though you will need to contact the manufacturer of the trailer to confirm this. Based on the tag shown in your picture your trailer uses a 4.80-12 so for a high speed replacement we have the Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C # TT48012C which will be an exact replacement, but has an 81 MPH speed rating. Should you find that the hub has a speed rating, just let me know the bearing combination...

It looks like you have something like a 205/65-10 tire similar to the # AM1HP50 with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern right now so we will use this as an example. The # AM1HP50 has an outer diameter of 20.8" and an 8.3" section width. This has a large section width so the inside clearance probably wont' be a problem and you will want to...

We do have the Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire # TT48012C which is the same size so you know it will fit on your current wheels. This tire is rated for up to 81mph and the radial construction performs better for highway usage.

All you need to do is take a look at the tire that is currently on the trailer, and on the sidewall you should see the tire size directly on it. I have added a photo below of an example. Based on the size of your trailer, an educated guess is that you have 12 inch wheels, and if so, either 4.80-12 or 5.30-12 tires....

- What Tire and Wheel Comes On a EZ Loader 58WVT 1250 Watercraft Trailer? The EZ Loader 58WVT 1250 trailer for your new Waverunner is going to have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. I do see the trailer comes with 4.8R12 Radial Tires # TT48012C. You can pair this tire with a Wheel # AM20134 if you are looking for a spare.
view full answer... - Recommended 4.80-12 Size Trailer Tires for Sea Doo Trailer at Highway SpeedsI recommend keeping the 4.80-12 size and going with a radial tire that's rated for the speeds you're driving at. The Taskmaster, part # TT48012C, is just that. It's rated up to 81 mph and has ply rating of 6 so the weight of your trailer shouldn't be an issue at all. It's capacity is 990 pounds at 90 psi. Make sure your wheels and valve stems are rated for that much psi. I'm not sure if you currently have radial or bias tires but radial is best for you. They're better for highway driving...
view full answer... - Recommended 4.80x12 Trailer Tires for Speeds Over 65 MPHA trailer's weight capacity is dependent on the weakest component in the system which could be the axle, the springs, the coupler or any other component. Normally tires are rated higher than the wheels they are attached to so that will likely reduce that rating as well. The speed rating of the tires has nothing to do with the load capacity. Many trailer tires have that 65 mph max speed rating whether for very small or very large trailers. The tire manufacturer has tested each tire...

This wheel has a white powder coating, if you'd prefer silver or black then you can click on the link below that will take you to our available options.

view full answer... - Should Load Range C or B 4.80-12 Tires Be Used On PWC Trailer?That's going to depend on the weight of your PWC and trailer, but I'd go with a load range C # TT48012C since the two are rated pretty close to be honest. A 4.80-12 tire in load range B like the # AM10060 is rated for 785lbs per tire, where the load range C # TT48012C is rated for 990lbs per tire, and is a radial tire instead of the standard bias ply which will have much better tire wear and run cooler on the highway due to it's tread construction. Heat is the main killer of a tire so...

The new tire is going to be 0.55" wider and 0.94" taller. To ensure you do not have any clearance issues you will want to ensure you have a minimum 1-5/16" clearance from the sidewalls to any parts of your trailer through the suspensions travel. And you will need 3-1/2" of clearance above the tire for the suspension to compress....

Your 4.80x12C tires' letter code C indicates their weight load range which is 990-lbs at 90-psi pressure. Instead of changing your tire size, which could be complicated by the need to replace or re-mount fenders, I suggest you simply install Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tires # TT48012C on your exiting rims. These radials have an "M" speed rating of 81-mph so...

A wheel having a 3-3/4" bead seat measurement is pretty unusual so even if this were the case I would recommend that you use a whole different assembly so that it's easier to replace the tire in the future. To replace your current tire I highly recommend the Taskmaster # TT48012C because it has a weight rating of 990 lbs at 90 psi and a max...

- What is the Speed Rating of the Kenda K353 4.80-12 Load Range C TireThe tire that's used on the # AM30660 combination is the Kenda K353 12 inch Bias Trailer Tire- Load Range C # AM10062 does not have a speed rating printed on it, so the default speed rating is 65mph; this tire does adhere to DOT standards. The # AM30660 is currently the only tire and wheel combination of that size that comes with a wheel that has a 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern.

To determine which tires are going to be correct you will need to know the size of your current tires. You can find this stamped on the sidewall of the tires as shown in the included help article. If you can let me know what size...
view full answer... - Can Trailer Tire Size 4.80-12 Replace 145/R12Yes the two tire sizes you mentioned do fit the same wheel size. They both fit 12 inch wheels with a 4 inch width. The best tire in this size is the Taskmaster # TT48012C. This has the preferred radial construction which means it's more stable and runs cooler plus has the highest speed rating of 81 mph.
view full answer... - Trailer Tire Recommendation in Size 4.80R12For the tire size of 4.80R12 I would recommend the Taskmaster tire part # TT48012C as this is a radial with a higher towing capacity than you need and also a higher speed rating.
view full answer... - Trailer Tire Recommendation for Size 4.80-12 that Can do Highway SpeedsI do have a great solution for you, but if you exceed the speed rating of a trailer tire it will get too hot and will very easily fail. I can't safely recommend you exceed the speed rating of your tire by 10 mph for 200 miles. Instead the tire part # TT48012C is a 4.80-/4.00-12 tire like you need but with an 81 mph speed rating. This will easily let you cruise at 70 mph.

Sticking with a 4.80-12 would be your best option. For just a tire in tha size we have the part # TT48012C which would work well. For a tire and wheel with the same 4 bolt pattern you have you'd want the part # AM30620.

- Recommended Tires for Teske 4 x 8 Utility Trailer with 4.80-12 TiresFor your Teske 4' x 8' utility trailer I would stick with the 4.80-12 tire size. From what I have found, your trailer weighs approximately 460 lbs so with your bike you are looking for tires that can handle 1,460 lbs and are rated for a higher speed. Based on this information, a larger tire would present no real advantage and would add the additional cost of new wheels. I recommend the Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire # TT48012C.

What I can recommend for you is the 4.80-12 tire, the Taskmaster 4.80-12 Trailer Tire - Load Range C # TT48012C which has an 81 mph speed rating.
