Recommended Replacement Tire for a 4.80 / 4.00-8 High Speed Tire 60 psi
Question:
Looking for a trailer tire as a spare for my old boat trailer. This is what I have: 4.80 / 4.00 - 8 62m. Tubeless, High Speed. 60psi. I just need the tire. The rim is an old style where I have to take off the axil nut to get the hole tire and rim off. No lug nuts. I am just looking to buy the tire as a spare. What you suggest for highway tires for this replacement? Thank you

Expert Reply:
Based on the pressure rating of your current tires, I recommend using the Kenda K371 Trailer Tire, # AM10002. This is a tubeless trailer tire that fits on 8" x 3-3/4" wheels with the Load Range B tire rating of 590 lbs. at 60 psi. which will work on your older style wheel. Our 8 inch tires are all rated to 65 mph.
We also offer a Load Range C tire, # AM10004, with a maximum load rating of 745 lbs at 90 psi, but you likely have Load Range B tires if they have a 60 psi rating. It is best to have matching tires, even with your spare. You can get by with a slightly different spare, but for the best tire wear and tear, you will want them all to match.
