If you are looking for a replacement tire and wheel combo with the tire being a size 4.80/4.00-8 then we do have some possible solutions for you.
If your current wheel uses a 4 on 4 bolt pattern then I recommend going with the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel # AM30040. This has a Load Range C which means that the max load for it is 745 lbs at 90 psi.
If, however, your current wheel uses the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern you will want to go with the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel # AM30060. This is also a Load Range C with the max load being 745 lbs at 90 psi.
To replace your current hub I will need to know the part numbers of your inner and outer bearings plus the inner diameter of your grease seal. If you cannot find the numbers then you will need to use a Digital Caliper # PTW80157 to find the different measurements of your spindle located in the included picture. To make sure that everything is accurate I will need the measurements to the 3rd decimal (0.000) since these need to be as specific as possible.
