See what our Experts say about this Kenda Trailer Tires and Wheels

• Upgrading to Larger Tire on Trailer With 4.80-12 Tires
  Your typical 4.80-12 tire like # AM10062 has an outer diameter of 20.5" and section width of 4.8". Since you currently have 3.5" of clearance on top, and 3" is the minimum, you can only move up 1" in tire diameter. This means the only real option would be a tire like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10130. This tire has a 5.7" section width and 21.3" outer diameter. Neither of these would cause you clearance issues. It will also fit your existing wheels. This...

  We do have the Taskmaster Steel 8-Spoke Trailer Wheel # TA39RR which is 12" with a 4 on 4" bolt pattern and the 2.5" pilot hole diameter. As this is the only way we have this wheel you will need to add either the Load Rang B # AM10060 or Load Range C # AM10062 trailer tire.

• How To Decide Between 4.80-12 Load Range B and C For 14' Boat Trailer
  That's going to depend on how much your boat actually weighs. A 4.80-12 load range B tire like # AM10060 is rated for around 785lbs per tire, where the load range C version # AM10062 is rated for 990lbs per tire instead. I'd take your trailer to a local weigh station and see how much it weighs, and go with the lighter tire if you safely can. Increasing the load range of a tire will stiffen the tire, so if you don't need that extra capacity for safety you're better off sticking with a...

• Does a 4.80-12 Trailer Tire use a 12 Inch Wheel
  Yes, a 4.80-12 trailer tire uses a 12 inch diameter wheel that is 4 inches wide. The 4.80 spec is the width of the tire. I have attached a link to all of our 12 inch x 4 inch trailer wheels for you to check out. They come with either a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern or a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. Make sure you choose a wheel with the same bolt pattern as your trailer hub or as your previous wheels. I have also attached a help article on how to determine your bolt pattern for you to check out.

• Replacement Wheel Availability for a Malone Micro Sport Kayak Trailer
  We don't carry the part number you are looking for but I was able to determine that the wheel and tire you are looking for is basically a 4.80-12 sized tire like the # AM10062 mounted to a 12 inch trailer rim with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern that is very similar in appearance like the # LH45FR. We don't have this size tire already mounted on an aluminum wheel. Once these arrive, you can have them mounted at a local shop.

• Is it Possible Same Size Trailer Tire Replacement is Larger than Old Tire
  Most likely the size difference is due to the worn down tread of your old tires making the tire have a smaller overall diameter. How much of a difference though are you referring to?

• Do Trailer Tires Need to be the Same on Small Trailer
  It is highly recommended that you have the same tires on your trailer and the reason is that tires with different load ranges will almost certainly have a different tire pressure, or can even be a different size. For example, your trailer may have a Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 4.80-12 - Load Range C # AM10062 which has a 990 lb load capacity when inflated to its max 90 psi, and a Taskmaster 5.30R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C # TT53012C which has a 1,050 lb capacity when inflated...

• Should the Same Two 4.80-12 Tires Have the Same Outer Diameter.
  Assuming you have the same two 4.80-12 tires, they should have the same outer diameter. It sounds like the reason for the difference was the different psi in each tire. Once you have filled both to the max psi, the diameter should be identical. The only other reason they might vary is if it is two different tires. For example, the Kenda # AM10062 has an outer diameter of 20.5" when inflated and the Taskmaster # TT48012C has an outer diameter of 20.63" even though both are 4.80-12 tires.

• Is Width and Overall Diameter Of Size 4.80x12 Tires Standard
  Not all 4.80 -12 size tires have the same tire width or overall diameter, though they are very similar.

• 4.80-12 Trailer Tires Keep Blowing Out on 2000 Coachman Camper Trailer
  Trailer tires are made with a thicker side wall than passenger car tires. Because of the thicker side wall they generate more heat. If they are under inflated and/or overloaded, that generates even more heat and can cause the tire to fail. Always inflate trailer tires to the maximum psi rating as indicated on the tire. If a tire sits long enough, it can suffer from dry rot or environmental wear unless covered when not in use. Given the area you travel in this could also be a factor. You...

• Is 4.80-12 Radial or Bias Trailer Tire Better
  It depends on the application, but for the majority of people, a radial 4.80-12 trailer tire is going to be better than a bias 4.80-12 trailer tire. The reason for that is bias tires have cords which run diagonally while radial tires have cords that run from side-to-side. What this does is result in radial tires flexing more, running cooler (which means they last longer), and providing better road traction. The stiffness of a bias tire though means it is better able to handle the uneven,...

• Changing from 5.30-12 to 4.80-12 Trailer Tire Size
  If you wish to change from a 5.30-12 to a 4.80-12, you can certainly do so. Both tires are designed for use on a 12 x 4 inch rim. The new tire would be about 1/2 an inch narrower and about 1-1/2 inches smaller in diameter than your existing tire.

• Solution for Rough Ride with 12" Tires on Light Utility Trailer
  Based on the max 90 psi that you mentioned I believe your trailer is equipped with 4.80-12 sized tires, such as the Kenda K353 # AM10062. Most trailer tire manufacturers recommend that their tires always be inflated to their listed maximum psi to ensure sufficient load support, and just about any trailer tire is going to have higher psi levels like this. There isn't a trailer tire out there, even smaller units, that would list a lower max psi of around 35 like what you would find on a...

• Recommended Air Compressor for a Small 90 Psi Trailer Tire
  The best portable air compressor we have to fill a small trailer tire like part # AM10062 to 90 psi is the Bulldog Winch Portable Air Compressor part # BDW41003. This compressor is actually rated to 150 psi and attaches to the battery via alligator clamps. The reason you will want at least a 150 psi compressor is because it would take ages to fill the tire to 90 psi with a 100 psi air compressor which is the next most common size. The alligator clamps will also allow the compressor to run...
