• 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...

• 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...

• 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...
