I recommend using the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 5.30-12 - Load Range D # AM10068, which have the highest capacity of all of the 5.30x12 tires we have available at 1250-lbs. These are bias ply tires, which are ideal for the load bearing required of a trailer since they have stronger sidewalls and will do just fine on your trip from NY to FL as long as you keep the tires properly inflated on your trip.

I've linked a short review video of these tires for you to have a look at.

Answer 5

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…

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…

From my research on the Harbor Freight 4x8 folding trailer uses 4.80-12 tires on a 12 inch wheel for the 1195 lb capacity trailer and a 5.30-12 for the 1720 lbs capacity trailer. It is a good idea to check your existing tires to see which size they…
