Trailer Tire that Can Fit in Place of Malone Wheel and Tire MPG469

Question

Question:

I have a Malone MPG460G. What is on the trailer is the stock wheel/tire MPG469. Would the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire or Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire fit on the wheel. I am wanting to swap to new tires.
