Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, you can upgrade from a 5.70-8 tire and wheel like # AM30100 to a 10 inch tire and wheel so long as you have the needed clearance. With trailer tires, the general rule of thumb is you want at least 3" of clearance from the top of the tire to your fender and at least 1" of clearance between the inside of the tire and your trailer's frame rail.
A 5.70-8 tire measures 5.8" wide and 18.1" in diameter, and a 10 inch tire - a 205/65-10 - measures 8.3" wide and 20.8" in diameter.
So if you have that clearance you can use the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 # AM3H350.
