Can 4.80-12 Tires Be Replaced with 5.30-12 Tires on Trailer
Question:
I have a 4.80 - 12 tire. Will a 5.3 - 12 tire fit
asked by: Albert E
Expert Reply:
As long as you have the wheel well and trailer frame clearance available for a slightly larger tire you can certainly swap out 4.80-12 units for a 5.30-12 such as the excellent Taskmaster # TT53012C. This will fit perfectly on your existing wheel.
The 5.30-12 size tire will be about 1.4 inches larger in height/diameter and only about a 1/2 inch wider. We just recommend having at least 3 to 4 inches of space between the fender and tire and at least 1 to 2 inches between the tire's sidewall and trailer frame.
The above-mentioned Taskaster # TT53012C features a maximum load of 1,050 pounds at 80 psi and a great speed rating of 81 mph. I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well.
