We have a couple options for you to replace your 205/60-8 tire and wheel with a 4 on 4" bolt pattern with something slightly wider and taller. A 205/60-8 measures 17.7" in diameter and is 8.1" wide, and for a bigger option there is a 215/60-8 tire, which is 18.3" in diameter and 8.9" wide. For that size tire with a wheel you have two choices:
- Kenda 215/60-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel # AM3H290
- Kenda 215/60-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" Galvanized Wheel # AM3H300

Thanks for providing the information from the data plate on the side of your trailer.
The modern-day equivalent of E78-14B and F78-14ST is now a 205/75-14. There are C and/or D load range tires.
The most popular C load range tire (1,760 lbs. at 50 psi) is the Castle Rock ST205/75R14 Radial Tire w/ 14" Condor Aluminum Wheel # LH84VR. This aluminum wheel that is rustproof. This is based on a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.
If you prefer a load range D I recommend the Kenda Karrier # AM10235... view full answer...
Hello again potential customer. So, all of the tire and wheel combos we offer are already mounted on the wheel and are already balanced in the manner that trailer tires are balanced. Every tire and every wheel has a high (heavy) and low (light) spot. The manufacturers offset the high spot on the tire with the low spot on the wheel to balance them. They do not need to balanced beyond that.
That being said, some people will still take them to a shop to have them balanced on a machine.... view full answer...
Radial type special trailer tires will tend to run smoother (and cooler) than bias ply tires since they offer more flex and better ground contact, thanks to their softer side walls. However passenger car tires should not be used on any trailer application. Special trailer, or ST tires, are the only type of tire that should be mounted on a boat trailer (with few exceptions) since they are made to handle the vertical loads from trailers.
The equivalent tire size to your 155R12 is a 5.30-12.... view full answer...
Although its more commonly used on golf carts, as long as the tire's kept properly inflated to 100psi as listed on the sidewall the Kenda # AM1HP60 225/55B12 tire can be used on a trailer. The tires are rated for a 65 mph top speed.
I've included a link to our Trailer Tire/Wheel help articles which contains enough information about trailer wheels and tires to make you the envy of your peer group. view full answer...
You can get the tire (and the wheel) separately if you like; you don't have to get the tire/wheel combo of the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" White Wheel # AM3S030.
If you want just the tire from this combo, what you need is the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire # AM1ST74. view full answer...
We do have a tire in the size of 4.80-12 that has a higher speed rating of 81 with the part # TT48012C which is same tire size as what is on your Malone trailer part # MPG464-LBT.
We don't have this mounted to a wheel already but the tire mentioned will fit the wheel you have currently. view full answer...
The # AM30050 Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" Galvanized Wheel has a wheel capacity of 910lbs. The tire capacity has a maximum load of 745 lbs at 90 psi as you stated.
You are correct in assuming that this can only carry 745 lbs, but that is just for the individual tire. Since you would have at least 2 on your trailer, the pair would be capable of holding 1,490 lbs since the weight of the trailer will be distributed between the two tires.

The closest tire size to what you mentioned that we offer (and most likely what you have) is the size 185/80-13 like the # AM3S334 which is mounted on a galvanized wheel and has the standard wheel bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inch which is what this size wheel and tire normally has.
I also attached a review video for this wheel and tire for you to check out as well. view full answer...
Karrier, Kenda, and Loadstar trailer tires, are all made by Americana. You can get 4 of tire and wheel combo # AM35099. Then for the tire by itself you would need # AM10501. And for a chrome-plated brass valve stem use # AM20906. view full answer...
You could potentially go to a larger tire/wheel combo as long as there is space all around the existing tires for the larger size. I would need to know the tire size you are using now to determine the next step up and the differences in sizes.
Trailer tires fail because of heat and/or overloading usually. Trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum psi indicated on the tire. This is because trailer tires are built with a thicker sidewall than passenger vehicle tires to handle... view full answer...
Your Westlake ST235/75R15 Radial Off-Road Trailer Tires - Load Range D # WST54FR are designed to perform off-road and on the highway. Unlike standard trailer tire tread, the deep, rugged tread on these tires channels water away so that the tire makes better contact with the road.
This greatly improves traction during wet, snowy, or icy conditions. Because of this, the tire is specifically designed for off-roading on uneven terrain such as mud, sand, and grass, although it performs well... view full answer...
We do offer wheels and tire that are going to be larger in diameter than the tire size 4.80-8 you have on your trailer but how big you can go will depend on how much clearance you have.
Your current size is 16.1 inches tall. To go to a radial tire would require you to go to a 12 inch diameter wheel like the part # AM35351DX which has a diameter of 21.3 inches. view full answer...
First you need to know that going to a higher capacity does not increase the capacity of the trailer. The capacity is set by the axle and the trailer construction.
To determine the best option for you I need to know the bolt pattern of the hubs. I have included a link to our help article that describes how to measure for bolt pattern.
The highest capacity 15 inch tire and wheel combo we have is # AM32680 which is an ST225/75-15 tire on a steel wheel with 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. It... view full answer...
Trailer wheels will have a zero offset unless otherwise noted, so the backspacing of this rim would 3-1/2 inches since it is a 6 inch wide rim. To get backspacing you take width of rim, add 1 inch for mounting flange and then divide by 2. view full answer...
A trailer can bounce if there is not enough weight on it. You see this particularly with utility trailers that are empty.
The tire and wheel size would not automatically cause a trailer to bounce though usually you see smaller tires on smaller trailers and smaller trailers tend to be light weight. So again it really comes back to weight.
It is also possible that there is too much tongue weight and/or the trailer is being towed nose down. This would limit the weight that is over the axle(s)... view full answer...
There should be no issues converting from your current setup to a wheel and tire like the # TA69VR Provider 215/75R17.5 Radial Tire w/ 17-1/2" Solid Center Wheel. The wheel will match your current bolt pattern and, assuming you have ST235/85R16 or ST235/80R16 tires on your current 16" wheels, the tires on the # TA69VR have a smaller diameter so clearance will not be an issue.
These tires have a a 16-ply rating and a 4,805-lb max load at 123 psi. They have a speed rating of M for a maximum... view full answer...
Yes, 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...
The vast majority of trailer tires and wheels are made offshore in China. This is also true for the Kenda Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Tire with 15-Inch White Spoke Wheel # AM32680 that you referenced.
The factories that produce these products have to adhere to the same Department of Transportation (DOT) standards and specifications as do domestic factories so the tires produced here and there will be virtually identical.
