Does Going to Smaller Trailer Ride Affect Ride Quality
Question:
Will there be any ride benefits or consequences when substituting 5.70 x 8 tires for the current 4.80 x 8 tires on an 8x4 utility trailer? Will it ride: smoother, straighter, bounce more, less....

Expert Reply:
You would be losing 2 inches of total tire diameter by making that switch. Most likely that means the trailer would slightly bounce more. Would also lose a bit of ground clearance.
Better option would be to stick with same size with replacement tire part # AM10013.
