We do offer plenty of choices in replacement 5.30-12 special trailer tires. All options can be viewed by clicking on the linked page.

Kenda # AM10068 is a Load Range D-rated 5.30-12 bias ply tire with a ply rating of 8 and a load capacity of 1250-lbs at 105-psi pressure. We also offer this tire pre-mounted on a white steel wheel (5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern) as part # AM30859.

Trailer tires should always be inflated to their rated maximum psi pressure as noted on the tire sidewall. It is never appropriate to under- or over-inflate a trailer tire for any reason. Improper inflation results in reduced carrying capacity and can lead to uneven tire wear, excessive heat build-up and early tire failure.
