1-Year Worry-Free Guarantee
This tire has a 1-year worry-free guarantee. If within the first 12 months the tire is damaged in any way, it will be replaced at no charge.
Bias Tires vs. Radial Tires
Bias ply tires are designed for off-road or agricultural applications. They are built with thick, durable nylon cords that are positioned at a 30- to 45-degree angle to the direction of travel. The layers alternate in a crisscross pattern, making the sidewalls stiffer so that the entire tire is able to flex easily. As a result, the tire provides a smooth ride and improved handling when trailering on uneven surfaces.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
Measuring the distance from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.
- If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
- If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
- If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
- If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"
A good alternative to 20.5 x 8-10 tires

I have not been on the road with these trailer tires, but am giving them an above average rating because of my other experiance with Kenda tires.
by: Mark M.03/30/2015
So far excellent..last tires lasted 15,000 mi. on Mini-Mate motorcycle camper over rough roads. These are going to Alaska and in load range C for gravel and bumps. Wheels have perfect paint and the 3 raised dots in rim recess to hold my new baby moon hubcaps. Popped them on new wheels/tires today and they fit over bearing buddies and seated more firmly and tightly with than I've experienced before with no rattle at all. The tires installed more easily because the center hole was smaller than many old sets of wheels and lug bolts aligned easily and exactly. The Kenda 6-ply have been good in past but was very pleased with last tires(CST) the rubber stayed soft and didn't crack. My spare is also Kenda 6-ply and hasn't shown cracks through 4 sets of tires on the trailer. The new ones look to be of same high quality. They arrived quickly and was able to install between work commitments. After trying to order same on other sites for over a week and get info as to plies/wheel type, etc., I stumbled on eTrailer site and 'bingo' all taken care of and perfectly!

Its now a year and they are at the wear bars! However, they traveled rough chip and seal and dirt and mud roads through Yukon and Alaska round trip from Colorado. They have 1200 miles on them..5000 more than the last sent went and on sandpaper roads to boot! I want another set of these as soon as they can be shipped!
by: George12/30/2018
These wheels and tires are ideal for highway use for long trips. They say right on tire "High Speed Trailer". With the trailer with no cargo, it weighs 530 lbs. With a 600 to 700 lb load I am at capacity with old tires (590 lbs each). These new tires are Load Range C vs my old tires Load Range B. My new tires are 745 lbs range each. They have two extra plies on the side wall. I also updated the springs with the 750 pound range 3 leaf version I bought also from etrailer. The key to success is to inspect the trailer each time you use it for small starting cracks in trailer frame, loose hardware, low pressure in tires, lights, etc.

The way that trailer tires are rated has changed over the years. Currently, the ply rating given to a tire doesnt necessarily reflect the number of layers or plies used to construct the tire. This tires rating is equal to the rating given to the rating a 6 ply tire under the old rating system.
by: Mark M04/03/2017
I'm getting 10,000 miles+ from these and like the fact that the installed rims have the 3 little nubs to accept moon discs on my motorcycle trailer. I pull through some nasty places and this keeps my 'Bearing Buddies' grease from picking up dirt. Got 2 sets wheels last time so am set for a while. On an Alaska 10,000 mile round-trip over bad chip and seal and horrible dirt these held up great. Be sure to inflate properly for your application as they come inflated to 60 lbs. (for boat trailers) and my little camper requires 27 lbs. when loaded. Test run them over your wetted driveway to see that you are running on the entire tread, not only the middle.

Nice new tires and wheels for my 50 year old boat trailer that has been off the road for 22 years! Thank you for having what I needed in stock.

I havent had these on the road yet. So far I have only moved the trailer around my property. I expect to start road trips this summer. Thanks again for having what I needed.

A year later these tires have held up really well.
by: Anthony12/04/2022
Items delivered promptly less than a week. When I first saw the box I thought they had sent me a whole trailer lol. thats how well packed it was. Quality product for an unbelievable low price. I highly recommend doing business with this company

Everything is holding up great. No problems. I expect it to be on the last wheel I should have to purchase. And when the tires wear out this is where I will purchase their replacement.
by: Herb11/02/2013
The wheel & tire were an exact fit of the old wheels. The powder coat will last many years. The wiring harness in the picture was also from Etrailer.com. It simply just plugged it in (I loved that part). That's so much easier than hard wiring a harness to a vehicle.

This is the second set of these Kenda 6ply Hi Speed rated trailer tires I have purchased from etrailer.com.
They’re used on my Vintage 1988 Coleman Columbia Camper I pull to road racing permanent tracks throughout the US during the summer.
The first set lasted 5,000 miles. The team there are the best and the prices are amazing.
by: Steven 03/20/2024
It's a great tires and wheels mounted and ready to go on the trailer. fast shipping.
by: Stephen P09/27/2018
These wheels were a great replacement for my "tag-a-long" trailer that I will pull behind my motorcycle. I dressed them up a little as you can see in the picture by adding little black dots to the rim. From a distance they look like regular 12" or 13" rims with holes in them.
by: Humam12/06/2023
The review is more about etrailer process and customer service. They take pride in what they do. The tires that I recieved cost less than a $100. Judging by the packaging, you would think the box contained merchandize worth a $1,000. I had called them on couple occasions and the people I spoke with provided me with an excellent service.
by: Kevin Pruett 11/07/2018
This site was great to purchase from! I have an older trailer for our small levy boat and wasn't even sure what size to choose. The information on this site was readily available, very detailed, easy to understand, and easy to find. This allowed me to select the wheel and tire combo that was a perfect match to my application giving me the confidence I needed to make my purchase.
I highly recommend this site for your trailer needs!
by: Michael 12/05/2023
It was for a spare tire. It's mounted on the trailer and luckily it has not been deployed.
by: Joe03/04/2024
The tires are wearing extremely fast. So much so, that I will look to another brand for this season.
by: Mark R07/01/2017
AM30040. Top quality. Very satisfied.Load range C, very sturdy. Using this tire and wheel package on a converted boat trailer to utility trailer, used for hauling quads, riding mowers,and motorcycles.

Great replacement wheels and tires... replaced for a kayak trailer with galvanized hubs for use in Saltwater... quick shipping and great followup!
by: Chuck F.06/10/2016
The last tires lasted 10,000 miles on my time-out trailer. I pull it with my Harley and the wife keeps it loaded heavy. These are the exact same tires so I expect the same results. Ordering was easy, shipped in a reasonable time. I am pleased.

Good product, decent price. This is the exact same rim and tire that has been on my motorcycle trailer for the last 28 years. I guess this is a pretty standard unit. Perfect.

- Can Kenda Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 AM30040 Tire & Wheel Replace 9 Inch WheelThe Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel - 4 on 4 - Load Range C # AM30040 may be a replacement tire and wheel for the original 9 inch wheel so long as a couple factors are within the proper specs. You'll need to check these as there is no info on a 1983 Cox trailer but so long as the 745 lb per-tire weight capacity is ok and you have a 4 on 4" bolt pattern you can use the # AM30040. If you aren't sure of your wheel bolt pattern I have added a link below to a help...
view full answer... - Can a Load Range C Tire be Used Instead of a Load Range B Tire on a TrailerFirst, make sure that you stay within the gross trailer weight capacity for your trailer. If that 200 pounds extra puts you over the gross trailer weight capacity then you will want to carry that extra weight in the vehicle. Going with a higher capacity tire will not increase the gross trailer weight capacity. With that said since you have a long way to go and such small tires, having a stronger tire in the same size would help to reduce the chance of anything happening to the tires. For...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Rebuild Suspension of 4 x 9-Foot Utility TrailerThe 2200-lb-rated axle/hub kit # 20440I-EZ-60 should be fine for a 4 x 9 utility trailer. This kit includes 4-on-4 hubs that work with trailer wheels from 8- to 12-inches diameter, like # AM30040, but note these wheels/tires are rated for 745-lbs each so two of them can handle 1490-lbs, not 2200-lbs as the axle can. Keep this in mind as you load the trailer up; the weakest link determines overall capacity. Your trailer frame may be rated for more or less weight than these other parts. The...
view full answer... - How to Find Correct Replacement Tires for 4.80 - 8 4 Ply Trailer TiresYour 4.80-8 size tire is the same as a 4.80/4.00-8 size tire. If the tires and rims are all original then we know they're compatibe with one another so there's no need to measure anything. It also says you have a 4-ply tire which is Load Range B. The tire probably mentions a maximum weight capacity as well which is better to use than the ply rating. Look for this number and make sure the tires you get are rated or at least as much capacity as what you have. Looking at your picture...

- Availability of Trailer Tires for Tilt TrailerI would need to know what size rims and tire you have on your tilt trailer to be able to pick out the correct replacement rim and tire to match what you have. If you can get the size listed on the side and then check out the link I attached that has all of the tires and rims we have, select your tire and rim size from the left facets, then select radial, and then select your wheel bolt pattern and you will have the correct rims and tires listed.
view full answer... - Difference In Diameter Between an 8 Inch Wheel with Tire and a 15 Inch Wheel with TireThe height difference between an 8 inch wheel with tire and a 15 inch wheel with tire will really depend on the tire size on the wheel. It is true that an 8 inch wheel is 3-1/2 inches smaller in diameter than a 15 inch wheel, but with tires on the wheels the difference will likely be greater than 3-1/2 inches. For example, the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8 Inch Wheel # AM30040 when inflated has a diameter of 16.1 inches, while the Kenda ST205/75-15 Radial Trailer Tire with...
view full answer... - Benefits of Using Higher Load Range Trailer TiresIncreasing a trailer's tire size can offer some potential advantages but it can also cause issues. Using a wider and/or larger diameter tire can mean clearance issues within the fender wells and at the leaf springs. It is important to have enough clearance above the tire tread to allow for suspension travel; at least 3-inches but more is better. The most common reason folks want to use larger tires is to reduce the chances of a blowout, which is certainly a very good motivation! But there...
view full answer... - Switching From Integrated Hub/Wheel on Log Splitter Trailer to Separate Hub and WheelIt sounds like you have an integrated hub/wheel design on your trailer and want to switch to a more standard separate hub and wheel. If that's the case then we have some great options for you, the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles part # AKIHUB-440-2-1K is an idler hub assembly with 4 on 4" bolt pattern that uses L44643 (1") bearings. If you're looking for new wheels/tires as well, I recommend the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel part # AM30040. This should...
view full answer... - Jet Ski Spare Tire and Wheel for 4.80/4.0-8The Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer tire with 8" Wheel Part # AM30040 is a good option. This will give you the proper size you are looking for when it comes to matching your other tires. I like that this assembly comes put together instead of having to mount a separate tire and wheel. This is a load range C bias ply tire so it is specially designed for being a durable trailer tire. This will hold up whether you are carrying one or two jet skis.

view full answer... - What Pressure Should Trailer Tires Actually be Ran AtTrailer tire pressure ratings are different from vehicle tires. With trailer tires you want to always inflate them to the max psi rating when cold and as long as you aren't exceeding the weight capacity and speed rating any psi fluctuation will be totally fine and not need to be monitored. If you under-inflate them (sounds like you might have been) they will build heat up quickly which eventually leads to failures like blow outs. The # AM30000 should be ran at it's 60 psi rating. It...
view full answer... - What Could Cause Vibration At 50 MPH On Trailer W/ New Axle and HubsThat is definitely odd, but I would lean towards a hub/bearing issue. I didn't see you mention this step, but when installing the new hubs/bearings did you tighten the castle nut nice and tight to seat the bearings fully, and then loosen it up to get the correct bearing preload? If not I would start there and complete this step and see. The hubs should not free spin, but should have very minor resistance. If that all checks out, I would make sure all of the U-bolts holding the new...

Split rims have been discontinued since they are dangerous and prone to failure, so I recommend replacing the wheels as well. There is nothing that comes up for 680z9 tires, perhaps they are 6.90/6.00-9. I would double check the size. Either way it seems as though it has 9" wheels. I recommend moving to 10" wheels and tires if possible. The Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" Galvanized Wheel # AM3H470 would...

Based on that I can tell the correct replacement hub would be the part # 8-91-05UC1-EZ and then for a wheel and tire that has your current tire size and bolt pattern you would want the part # AM30040 and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Can Vehicle Tire And Wheel Be Used On Pop-Up CamperIt is not recommended to use a vehicle tire on a trailer or camper because they have weaker sidewalls and can fail. Trailer wheels typically have a zero offset and vehicle wheels have an offset so there could be clearance issues with that as well. Also, the bolt pattern could be different for the wheel as well. I would stick to trailer wheels and tires on the trailer to be on the safe side. If you let me know what the wheel bolt pattern is on your trailer hubs I will be glad to make some...
view full answer... - Can Camper Trailer Weight Capacity Be Increased By Changing Tire Load Range RatingThank you for the photo of your camper trailer. When it comes to a trailer's weight carrying capacity the lowest-rated part of the trailer - either the frame, axle, hubs, wheels or tires - will determine if more capacity can be added. If the tires were the lowest-rated component then changing them to another size or simply to a higher load range in the same size could give you more capacity/safety margin. But if the tires are not the "weakest link" then upgrading them does not add capacity...

If you find you have a 4 on 4 bolt pattern, one of the 8 inch tire/wheel combinations I recommend is part # AM30000. this is a Load Range B, 4-ply tire that has a maximum load rating of 590 lbs at 60 lbs.

This is a tire by itself and it is rated for 760 pounds at 90 psi. It fits 8 x 3-3/4 inch wheels. The highest rated tire and wheel combo in this size with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern is # AM30040, also at 760 pounds at 90 psi. The highest rated tire and wheel combo with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern is # AM30060 at 760 at 90 psi also. I have included a link to our tire and wheel FAQ articles for you.

The # AM30040 tire/rim combo you referenced would be an acceptable replacement for your existing tires, as long as they are replaced in pairs.

It is rated for 745 lbs at 90 psi. It has an outer diameter of 16.1 inches and a width of 4.7 inches when inflated to 90 psi. If you want the wheel along with the tire, we have the 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern # AM30040 or the 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern # AM30060. These tires are rated for a max speed of 65 mph.
