ST145/80-12 Wheel and Tire Recommendation for a 5.30-12 Wheel and Tire

Question:

Can I use the Kenda Karrier ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire with 12inch Black Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 AM35354 in place of my 5.30-12 - 5 on 4.5 ? Can it be used on the same wheel hub that I currently have?

The Kenda Karrier ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire with 12" Black Mod Wheel # AM35354 will be about 1/2 an inch shorter than your current 5.30-12 tire so it that regard it would work perfectly fine.

Now the included wheel is designed to attach to a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern hub. If that is what your trailer has this wheel would work great. I attached a help article on determining bolt patterns for you to check out as well.

If you had a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern you would instead want the part # AM31208HWTB.
