We currently have 10 different tire and wheel options for a 5.30-12 size. There are 2 different bolt patterns, so you would need to determine if you have a 4 on 4 or 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. I have included a help article that helps with figuring that out and I have included the options for each bolt pattern below.

4 on 4
- Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30790
- Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" White Wheel # AM30780
- Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30710
