I definitely recommend the Kenda brand because it is a time tested industry leader. I would go with one of the model tires listed below depending on your load range which is listed after the number (12) on your tires. Your load range is either (B or C) for this size tire. When you're ready for some new wheels, you'll need a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. The only 5 bolt pattern that is offered for this wheel size is 5 on 4-1/2.
Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 4.80-12 - Load Range B # AM10060
(Maximum load: 785 lbs at 60 psi)
Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 4.80-12 - Load Range C # AM10062
(Maximum load: 990 lbs at 90 psi)
For a top of the line rust proof aluminum wheel and tire, they can be purchased separately and mounted upon arrival with part # LH45FR for the Lionshead aluminum wheel and # AM10062 for the Kenda Bias tire.
