We do offer a few wheels that will fit your parameters of a 4 on 4 bolt pattern and a 2.5" pilot hole. These will all be 8", or 10" wheels. I have listed a few options below:

Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel # AM30120
Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" Galvanized Wheel # AM30050
Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" White Wheel # AM3H460
Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" Galvanized Wheel # AM3H470

We do have several different tire options for the tire, if you need something specific. If we get into larger wheels like 12" or 13" they will have a larger pilot hole like 2.65" and 2.8".

Answer 4

The closest radial tire size I would have to replace the 4.80-12 bias tire size is the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145R12 Radial Trailer Tire #AM10130. The 4.80-12 bias tire is 20.7 inches tall and 4.9 inches wide. The 145R12 radial tire is 21.3 inches…

Yes, the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire #AM10140 referenced in your question will fit the same 12 inch wheel with a 4 inch width that your existing 4.80-12 size tires are mounted to. Just note that the ST145/R12 tire will be…

Answer 8

The 12 inch tires that we carry are rated for 65 miles per hour. Any faster than that for extended periods and the excessive heat build up will cause tire failure. To get a tire with a higher speed rating you would have to go up in size. That also…

Answer 9

The difference between the two trailer sizes you referenced is that the 5.30-12 will be about 1-1/2 inches taller than the 4.80-12 and would have more capacity. As long as your trailer has the clearance for a slightly taller and wider tire a 5.30-12…

Answer 10

The load range tire used is going to depend on the gross trailer weight capacity, which should be on a sticker or plate near the front of the trailer frame or in the trailer's literature. It probably also indicates the load range, or at least the…
