If you have enough wheel well clearance, I would look into a 12 inch radial tire and wheel like the Kenda Karrier ST145/R12 S-Trail Tire, #AM31202 for a 5 lug bolt pattern or #AM35351DX for 4 bolt. All of the 4.8-12 tires are bias ply tires, but the…

Answer 7

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

Answer 10

A radial tire flexes more than a bias tire, giving it better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread wear. Radial tires generally run cooler than bias tires, which usually leads to a longer life for radials. I would recommend going with a…

Answer 11

The difference in overall diameter between 4.80-8 and 4.80-12 size trailer tires is about 4-1/2 inches. A smaller tire will clearly not create a clearance issue around fenders where a larger size could. The two tires' widths are fairly close to…

Answer 12

All of the trailer tires that we carry are rated for 65 miles per hour. Since a higher speed will produce more heat, it is not advised to go more than 65 on a trailer tire. Heat buildup is the main cause of tire failure. Trailer tires are made with a…
