4.00 x 8C Kenda K371 Bias Trailer Tire Recommendation
Question:
I currently have 4.00 x 8C and another tire is 4.00 x 100 both with 8 inch rims. I can not use a tire in excess of total width of 4 1/4 inch wide at the widest width. I can only find 4.80 tires. Are they the same size ?

Expert Reply:
4.00 x 8 and 4.80 tires are the same size. For your trailer you would want a Kenda K371 Bias Trailer Tire, # AM10004, this should work very well for you since it is the same size tire as what you have now and it is a load range C tire.
Its always a good idea to replace trailer tires in pairs on an axle to ensure that you get the same overall tire height for both sides of the trailer. This will keep the trailer as level as possible. There will be tire height variances between tire companies even though the size is listed as the same. Also, as a tire wears it will lose a little bit of height. So if you replace both at the same time the axle will sit as level as possible.
I attached a couple FAQ articles on trailer tires for you to check out also.
