Expert Reply:
The tire size you referenced, 4.80-8, and 4.80/4-8 tire are interchangeable. The width is just slightly different, but will fit the same size wheels.
The older tire size use to be a 4.00-8, so the 4-8 is added to the tire description so that those who have the older 4.00x8 tires, which are no longer available, will know that this size is compatible with their trailer. This is the case with the Kenda Bias Trailer Tire, part # AM30000.
I have linked a tire size FAQ that shows the different tires sizes and what wheels they will fit.
