Trailer Wheel and Tire to Replace 4.80-8 with 4.80-12
Question:
I have 4x8 trailer w 4 bolt hubs, if I want to go from 4x8 tires to 4.8x12s, What hubs and tire/wheel combos do you suggest to get over 1000lb load capacity assurance? Thank you

Helpful Expert Reply:
In the tire size of 4.80-12 on a 4 bolt wheel like you are wanting we have the Kenda part # AM30620 which has a 990 lb capacity so with a pair you'd have nearly double the weight capacity you'd need. This is a white wheel setup.
If you preferred a similar option with a galvanized wheel you'd want the part # AM30630 instead.
