Tire and Wheel Replacement Recommendation for a 4.80-8 with 4-Lug Bolt Pattern
Question:
I have this tire on my small motorcycle pull behind trailer. I want to change it for a larger size tire and rim maybe 10, rather than the current 8 inch. What would you recommend? 4.80-8" tire with 4 lug rim load b. Thank you

Expert Reply:
For your application I recommend using the Kenda 165/65-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel # AM3H200 as it will be a little larger but not large enough to cause clearance issues like a tire that fits a 10" wheel would (the 10" wheels have tires almost double the width of what you currently have).
The combo mentioned above has the 4-lug bolt pattern and is a load range C (800 lbs at 70 psi) so it will be a great fit to replace your current tires/wheels.
If you are determined to use a 10" wheel then my next recommendation is the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" White Wheel # AM3H330. This has a load range B (910 lbs at 35 psi), the 4-lug pattern, and an 81 mph speed rating. The outer diameter measures 20.8" while the width is 8.3". As long as you have at least 4" of clearance above the tire and 2" of clearance from the sidewall to your trailer frame you'll be good to go with this option.
