Black Trailer Wheel and Tire Recommendation to Replace 5.30-12 Tires and Wheels
Question:
It appears that this product has a broken link to the picture? Looking very specifically for a black rim.. 5.30 - 12 is the trailer tire size I am looking for. Can I use these radials in place of the bias that I am replacing? Thanks,

Sounds like you are looking for a wheel and tire combination that has a 5.30-12 radial tire mounted on it. The # AM35354 has a ST145/R12 tire on it so while it would be a great choice for a trailer tire, it would not be exactly what you said you wanted.
For a wheel and tire that has a 5.30-12 you would want the # AM30859 instead.
Now the # AM35354 that you referenced is a very similar size and is a radial tire so it would be a better setup for you. I attached a picture of what it would look like as well.
A radial tire flexes more than a bias tire, giving it better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread wear.
A radial tire will normally run cooler than a bias ply tire, especially when the tire is under a load. A tire that runs cooler will last longer.
