Recommended Tire for Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel with 13

Question

Question:

Hello, Will a Carlisle 5.30.12 size tire fit to this rim? I am considering this rim as a spare tire for my 1999 Starcraft Venture pop-up camper. I already have the tire, I just need to find a matching rim. Thank you.

Expert Reply:

The tire size you reference, size 5.30 x 12, is compatible with a 12" x 4" rim. The wheel I recommend is Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel, # AM20151, as long as your trailer uses wheels with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, I have included a FAQ article on determining your wheel's bolt pattern. If you find you have a 4 on 4 bolt pattern you can go with # AM20140.

The rim you referenced, # AM20253, is 13" x 4-1/2". I have included a couple of FAQ articles on tires for you to check out too.

Any tire, when there is a load on it, will flatten out a little. The key with trailer tires is to always make sure they are inflated to the maximum psi rating as indicated on the tire. If the tires are holding pressure under load and they are not…

First, if a tire starts with a P like your P165 tires that indicates that they are passenger vehicle tires and should not be used on a trailer. This is because trailer tires are built with a thicker sidewall to handle more vertical load and passenger…

The two tire sizes you have are similar but they are not the same. The 215 tire size is slightly larger in diameter and in width. You would want to go with a new wheel and tire in the size of ST205/75R14 like the part #AM32153 to match that size. The…

I've never heard of an actual third brake light connector on a camper shell to plug in on a truck and we don't carry any parts to do that. The light generally needs to be hardwired into the truck's brake light circuit. The issue with this…
