We have exactly what you described in your question with the Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Wheel # AM30861. This Kenda bias tire features a Load Range D (maximum 1,250 pounds at 105 psi) and is mounted onto a 12" galvanized steel wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.

The only option I can think of is to custom mount your plate with a hinge. You could use a plate holder like #LP35BB or a metal plate like #CR79150 and mount it to the bottom of your trailer with a basic hinge like #PLR2008-AS. If you mount the hinge…

The 205/65-10 and the 20.5 x 8-10 would be very close in size. Assuming that 20.5 is the diameter of the tire and 8 is the width. The Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10 inch White Wheel, #AM3H390, for example, is 8.3 inches wide with a…

The reason that you cannot find a list of all load ranges and the weight capacity for each in regards to trailer tires is because it will be different for each size. For example, a 205/75-15 tire like part #AM10245 which has a load range D rating is…

Answer 4

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…

The tire and wheel combos we carry like the part #AM31202 you referenced are not machined balanced. You can have the tire and wheel combos balanced at a local tire shop if you wanted to. What some manufacturers will do is line up the light spot on…

Answer 6

The thing about trailer tires is they are almost all rated for a max speed of 65 miles per hour. There are a few brands out there that do have higher speed ratings, but we do not carry those. I did attach a page to the right that has all of the rim…

The tire size of 4.80-12 like what comes on the part #AM30630 is right at 3 inches narrower overall than the tire size of 185/80-13 so you would gain over an inch of inner sidewall room like you are needing.

I have attached a chart for you to take a look at that includes the lug nut torque specifications. If your wheel uses 1/2 inch lug nuts or wheel bolts like the 12 Inch Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel #AM20124 referenced in your question, you will torque…

Answer 9

I have attached a chart you can check out that describes the torque needed per wheel size, wheel stud size and material. For an 8-inch wheel with a 1/2-inch wheel stud the torque is 75 to 86 ft-lbs. For a 15 inch steel wheel with 1/2 inch wheel studs…

Answer 10

The correct torque for installing lug nuts on your 5 X 8 trailer's 5-lug wheels will depend on the size of the lugs. For a 1/2-inch lug the torque spec ranges from 75- to 85-ft-lbs. For a 9/16-inch lug the torque spec ranges from 135- to…

Answer 12

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…
