Kenda Tires and Wheels - Tire with Wheel - AM35354 Review Video

You do indeed have a 12 inch rim. When you measure the diameter of the wheel, you'll need to measure the diameter of he wheel where the tire bead meets the wheel. I've provided you a cutaway diagram of a wheel showing where the…

Since both a ST145/R12 size tire, like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM10130, and a 5.30-12 size tire, like the Kenda K353 #AM10068, fit a 12 inch wheel, a ST145/R12 size tire can replace a 5.30-12 size tire. Keep in mind that these tires do have…

We have verified with Kenda that the tire of the Kenda Karrier ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire with 12" Black Mod Wheel #AM35354 that you referenced has an 81 mph speed rating.

Speed rating is definitely something to be aware of. You also want to make sure your tires are properly inflated since that is a common reason for tire failure. For a replacement I recommend getting a radial tire since they are the best for…

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…

Trailer tires are only rated to go 65 miles per hour unless indicated. Trailer tires are built with a thicker sidewall, to handle vertical loads, that get hot enough to fail when you exceed 65 miles per hour.

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…

The Kenda Karrier ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire with 12" Black Mod Wheel #AM35354 does not come balanced, nor does any trailer tire and wheel. While you can have them balanced if you'd like to, it really isn't necessary for performance…

The tire and wheel combinations that we have available, such as the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire w/ 12 Inch Wheel #AM31202, are mounted so that the high heavy spot on the tire is aligned with the low light spot on the wheel. While this…

Upgrading o a Radial Tire will definitely be better for long distance towing. They will run cooler than a Bias Ply tire giving them a longer life. To replace your current 5.30 x 12 tire, I do have a couple options for you. The Kenda Karrier…

All of the 4.80-12 trailer tires are going to be bias ply tires but I have good news for you. A 145/80-12 trailer tire will fit the same size wheel width as the 4.80-12. But the 145 will be approximately 0.8 inches wider and 0.8 inches taller than…

You would not be able to charge your battery through the wiring on your 4-way trailer connector. Since your truck has a 7-way connector, you could maintain the power to the battery but not charge it. To begin, you would need to cut off your 4-way…
