While we do carry the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E (1,520 lbs at 80 psi per tire) # AM10140, we unfortunately don't have this specific tire pre-mounted to a wheel that has a 4 on 4" bolt pattern.

Since all of the 12" wheels that have a 4 on 4" bolt pattern have lower weight capacities (1,250 lbs at the most) I recommend checking out the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire Load Range D (1,220 lbs at 65 psi) w/ 12" White Spoke Wheel # AM35351DX. This has the lower weight capacity of 1,220 lbs per tire but it does come already mounted on a wheel with a 4 on 4" bolt pattern. If you can find a 12" trailer wheel out there with a higher weight capacity then you can definitely use this tire with it though.

The only other solution is to use the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" White Wheel # AM3H460. This has a Load Range E (1,650 lbs at 90 psi) but the tire has an 8.4" section width which is substantially wider than the 5.7" of your current tire.

Answer 1

The difference in section width between a 5.30-12 and a 145/12 is just 0.1 inches. Only half of that is applied towards the trailer. On wheel and tire combo #AM35354 the wheel is a black mod wheel with a zero offset meaning that the mounting surface…

Answer 2

Trailer tires in sizes 5.30-12 and 145/60-12 (such as #AM10140) both fit the same size wheels so you could use them. Trailer tire #AM10140 is rated for 1,520 pounds at 80 psi. Please note that higher capacity trailer tires will not increase the…

We've got just what you're looking for on the tire front, and a few different options you could use for wheels. To replace your 5.30-12 tire I recommend using the Taskmaster #TT53012C, which are a radial tire that's perfect for highway…

Answer 4

The Kenda Karrier ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire with 12" Black Mod Wheel #AM35354 will be about 1/2 an inch shorter than your current 5.30-12 tire so it that regard it would work perfectly fine. Now the included wheel is designed to attach to a…

Answer 5

A 155/80-12 is definitely not a common trailer tire sized, though it may have been at one time. It sounds more like a car tire size which should not be used on a trailer. The trailer tongue or frame should have a sticker or plate that indicates the…

Answer 6

Yes, in the event you need to use the spare you can mix the construction types (bias and radial). But you will want to get them matched up again sooner rather than later or the trailer will not track properly and you will end up with uneven wear. But…

Answer 7

When pulling a pop-up camper, I would pick radial tires over bias ply tires mainly because they run cooler and because of their flexibility they have better contact with the road. Neither of the types of tires are rated to run at 70 mph. Trailer…

Answer 8

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

Answer 9

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…

Answer 10

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

Answer 11

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…

Answer 12

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…
