Trailer wheels and passenger car wheels are different and so are trailer tires and passenger car tires. Trailers wheels are tires are designed with different characteristics from vehicles wheels and tires since their functions are not exactly the same. Trailer wheels/tires are optimized to handle vertical loads while passenger vehicle wheels and tires are designed for cornering and stability.
Another key difference is wheel offset. Wheel offset refers to the location of a wheel's rim in... view full answer...
The reason the Folding, Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier, item # TR-2, is not recommended for carrying powered vehicle tires and wheels is the construction of the wheels themselves. A Powered vehicle wheel and tire combination has a wide variety of different configurations, such as inset or outset, that can render the carrier unusable for the application, or create additional torque on the carrier that will compromise the weight carrying capacity of the carrier.

The backspacing for the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel, # AM20422 is 3 inches, which provides zero inches offset. This means that the point where the wheel studs go through the wheel is centered in the 5 inch width of the wheel. A 5 inch wide wheel will measure approximately 6 inches overall width with the wheel lip.
This wheel is designed for 15 inch trailer tires up to 205/75-15, like the Karrier Radial Trailer Tire # AM10244. If you wanted to go with a larger tire like the Karrier... view full answer...
A tire that is size 205/75-15 will fit on a 15 x 6 inch wheel. however, you should not use trailer tires and wheels on a passenger vehicle nor should you use passenger vehicle tires and wheels on a trailer. Trailer tires and wheels are specially designed to handle more vertical load. Passenger vehicle tires and wheels are not.

In order to determine if your trailer wheels have an offset, remove a wheel from your trailer and measure from the mounting surface of the wheel (where the wheel mounts to the hub) to the inside and outside beads. The difference between these two measurements is the offset.
Because some trailer wheel offsets can be as small as 5 mm, they can be difficult to measure. If you can't measure the wheel, you can contact your trailer manufacturer with your trailer's serial number.

The Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10 Inch Galvanized Wheel # AM3H490 will work well on a tandem axle trailer. The bias ply construction of the tire does not have a correlation to the number of axles on the trailer. A bias or radial trailer tire can be used on a tandem axle trailer.
As long as the existing tires on your trailer are 205/65-10 size tires and the wheels are 10 inch wheels with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch wheel bolt pattern, the Kenda # AM3H490 tire and wheel combo will work... view full answer...

The Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8 Inch White Wheel - 4 on 4 - Load Range C # AM30120 that you referenced is our most popular tire in that size. It has a 4 on 4 inch wheel bolt pattern and the Load Range C rating offers a capacity of 910 pounds... view full answer...

The tire size, load range, construction, and wheel diameter of the # AM3S334 all match the information you provided from your existing... view full answer...
In order to determine the correct replacement wheels and tires for your 1979 Wilderness travel trailer, there are a couple of things you will need to take a look at on your existing tires.
You will need to consider the load range the tires will need to have for your trailer. The load range indicates the horizontal and sidewall strength of a tire. It is represented by a letter within each tire size. Each load range letter correlates to a specific number of tire plies and a load pressure... view full answer...
Yes, you can use a load range C tire instead of a load range B tire as long as the new tire and rim are the same size and have the same bolt pattern as the old tire and rim.
In this case, the potential new tire you reference, Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12 inch White Wheel, # AM30660, has the same tire size (4.8-12). It is on a 12 inch diameter by 4 inch wide wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. As long as those dimensions match your existing tire and wheel, you can use this... view full answer...
So you mentioned wheel, though the 20.5 x 8-10 size you mentioned is actually a tire size, which leads me to think you are looking for a replacement wheel and tire of that size. Since that's an older tire size, what you will need is the modern equivalent, a size 205/65-10 tire, along with a wheel that the tire will fit on.
We have just 205/65-10 tires, or just the 5-lug 10 inch rim, or a combination of the tire and rim together if that is what you are looking for. Here are the options... view full answer...
From my research on the Harbor Freight 4x8 folding trailer uses 4.80-12 tires on a 12 inch wheel for the 1195 lb capacity trailer and a 5.30-12 for the 1720 lbs capacity trailer. It is a good idea to check your existing tires to see which size they are.
I recommend Taskmaster 5.30R12 part # TT53012C If your existing tires on the trailer are 5.30-12. If your existing tires are 4.80-12 I recommend Taskmaster part # TT48012C.

A 14" wheel and tire could be used as a very short term fix to get the trailer off the side of the road, but it is not good to have tires that are a different height on the trailer. Doing so will cause excess weight on the side with the shorter tire and would cause handling and suspension wear issues.
I recommend carrying a spare that is the exact size as the tires on your trailer.
For example if your 15" wheels and tires are a 205/75R15 I recommend using the Kenda Karrier ST205/75R15... view full answer...

The tires we offer are designed for use on trailers and are not intended to be used on passenger vehicles. The letter P on the tires you described are intended for passenger vehicles. If this is on a trailer you may want to check all of the tires and consider changing out all the tires. Trailer tires are constructed with stronger sidewalls than an automobile tire and can handle higher air pressure and heavier loads.
