Helpful Expert Reply:

It is possible to use a 4.80 tubeless tire like part # AM10004 on a wheel designed for tube tires without a tube. The wheel has to be a one-piece wheel that has a hole for a valve stem and a flap to help seal the tire to the wheel. If your wheel does not meet these requirements you will need to replace the wheel.

Answer 1

For your log splitter wheel and tire combination, the pilot hole in the center will be much larger than the hub center. This is not an issue as the wheel will bolt to the hub and be centered based on the lug studs and lug nuts. All trailer spindles…

There are not any hubs that have that 4 on 110mm bolt pattern. All our hubs with 4 bolts are the standard trailer 4 on 4 inch pattern. I recommend the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 4 on 4 #AKIHUB-440-2-1K which will fit 1 inch…

Answer 3

For smaller tire sizes like the 4.80-8 that you mentioned the highest speed rating we have is 65 mph like the part #AM10002. This is in part due to the smaller diameter of the tire which means it will be spinning more revolutions at the same speed as…

Even on a trailer from the 1960's I've never heard of a 5 on 4 bolt pattern. Where exactly are you measuring the 4 inches? With a 5 lug pattern you need to measure from the center of one bolt hole to the outside edge of one of the furthest…

Technically, a trailer rated for 10,000 lbs can have 5 lug hubs. They are most common on 3,500 lb axles but can be used on the rare 4,000 lb axles as well. You could have a gooseneck or 5th wheel trailer with the 10,000 lb capacity and tandem axle 5…

The most common 5 bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2. However, 5 bolt patterns also come 5 on 4-3/4, 5 on 5, and 5 on 5-1/2. It is important to know the bolt pattern before you buy new wheels to ensure a proper fit. I have attached an article on how to…

Answer 8

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 9

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 10

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…

Answer 11

To determine the size of the hub assembly you need to purchase you have to determine which bearings are in the old assembly. If the old assembly has L44649 inner bearings, you would use the hub you chose #8-258-5UC1. If the inner bearings are marked…

You can add larger wheels and tires to a trailer as long as you have enough room for the larger size. The main clearance issues we find when putting larger tires and wheels on a trailer is from the top of the tire to the fender and from the inside…
