1-Year Worry-Free Guarantee
This tire has a 1-year worry-free guarantee. If within the first 12 months the tire is damaged in any way, it will be replaced at no charge.
Bias Tires vs. Radial Tires
Bias ply tires are designed for off-road or agricultural applications. They are built with thick, durable nylon cords that are positioned at a 30- to 45-degree angle to the direction of travel. The layers alternate in a crisscross pattern, making the sidewalls stiffer so that the entire tire is able to flex easily. As a result, the tire provides a smooth ride and improved handling when trailering on uneven surfaces.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
Measuring the distance from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.
- If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
- If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
- If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
- If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"
A good alternative to 20.5 x 8-10 tires

I purchased the pair to install on a cargo trailer I pull behind my motorcycle. In all honesty, the tires and rims look good and fit fine. But due to travel restrictions, I have not been able to really put them on the road and see how they perform.
Comments
I mounted the the two new wheels on a small cargo trailer I pull behnd my motorcycle. On May 5th of 2021 I left on a 100 day, 18000-mile motorcycle road trip. These tires and the new hubs I enstalled were replacements of the 8-inch set up I wore out on an Alaska trip the year before. I still have your tires on the trailer but will probably replace them before my next big adventure. We rode through almost every state in the lower 48, We pulled that little trailer at MPH trying to outrun Huricane Elsa and a couple of tropical storms. It went through high speeds, high winds and yes water over the axils. Life us good when the tires are good.

I bought these 12 inch tires and rims to replace the old 8 inch. They were exactly what I needed. They fit perfectly on the hubs and I am sure they will keep the bearings lasting for a long time. I am very pleased with this purchase. Thanks for a great product.

I could not be happier! Has made many short trips to the lake with no problems. In October pulled it 150 miles and again no problems. Thank-you for a great product.

Tires and wheels arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I put them on a trailer I found on Craigslist This is a homemade boat I just got done with. I took it out on the highway and drove 75mph for about 5 miles. My first impression was great product. The trailer tracked as straight as an arrow. I'll follow up if I have any problems.

The two 4.80-12 trailer tires came well packaged. They held some air but had to be inflated to 90 psi. The paint job was nice and I observed no chips. Each wheel had a black and red stripe around the outer ring. The tires were labeled LOAD STAR with a load rating of C and two ply sidewalls. I checked and Load Star tires are made by Kenda so that satisfied me. I am looking forward to many trouble free miles with these tires. Free and fast shipping was also appreciated.

Easy to order. Packaging was adequate. All three wheels in a single cardboard box. Tires and wheels look nice. High quality valve stems. One rim had several lines from black felt tip marker on the back side. The paint coverage was not complete on the back of one of the three rims. Still Very good value. Would have been five star except the marks and paint on one as noted.

etrailer comes through again! I went to a local retailer for a trailer tire or two and he wanted to charge me about $70 just to put a new tire on an old rim. I went to etrailer.com and found a brand new tire And rim for $xx.xx and it was just what I was looking for. So I bought 2. I refer this company every chance I get to all my friends and family. The tires came two days early, and with free shipping ! I could not be happier. That’s how you do business. Thanks etrailer.com

The wheel/tire assembly I purchased from etrailer arrived promptly and seems to be excellent quality. It replaced the wheel shown at the left in the picture, that failed on Interstate 95 north of Jacksonville, FL. Your wheel is so good we decided to buy another to avoid a similar experience with our other old wheel and tire in the center in the picture. The second wheel we purchased from you is obviously the one on the right. Thanks for the good products and service.

Wow...ordered Wednesday morning, received Friday morning. Pleased, and how exciting! Used info on the etrailer site to pre-build new fenders (not shown) to accommodate new tires & rims - fit is perfect! The 480x12 LRC tires & rims (Kenda #AM30660) replace the too small 480x400-8 LRB's (see pic) that always worried me on day-long trips. The new tires give me a critical bit more ground clearance and are Load C rated to 65mph. They even came with high pressure metal inflation valves, which were an unexpected bonus. Mounted on the smallish-size trailer I use to haul my 12' rowboat, 6HP motor & gear all around our Adirondack Park lakes and Lake Ontario, I know they are just the thing that was needed to overcome highway miles and backwoods rocky trails too. Thanks etrailer and George J for great service, prices and products!

My smallish tilt-bed utility trailer had old dry-rotted tires that would be flat after a week. etrailer fixed that with a new pair of shoes for the old girl... 4.80 - 12 tires on 4 1/2" 5 bolt rims that my 16 year old daughter installed by herself. Next morning we hauled 91 total 60 pound retaining wall blocks in 3 trips with no issues. The wheeled tires riding on new etrailer 5-leaf springs made the job a joy.

tires and wheels came really fast. Was very pleased. Product looked great. Wish boat tires came with more tread but must be some reason. Such a good feeling to have new load range c tires and wheels.. I should have done this two years earlier. It's never fun heading up fishing and worrying about having tire trouble. Great prices. Now I have a ugly great boat and good looking tires and wheels.

Finding tires (and wheels) to fit my Carry-All utility trailer proved a challenge until I stumbled upon etrailer.com. They not only carried the correct tire/wheel size I needed, but also in the load range I desired (there were several local and internet-based sources for B rated, but finding C rated tire and wheel combinations was another matter). I ordered three tire/wheel combinations from etrailer.com, all of which arrived in fine shape nearly a year ago and remain in great shape. Ironically, the price of each tire delivered to my door was within a few dollars (higher or lower) than the lower weight range tires I located in multiple sources elsewhere. While I do not put many miles on my utility trailer, it is stored outside and the original set of wheels started to rust after several years in the Pacific Northwest. There was also some indication of weather checking in the original tires, prompting me to order replacements for the original two and added a spare in the event of unforeseen need. There is no sign of rust on the wheels nor weather checking on the tires; they still appear new. When the time comes for another set of replacement tires and/or tire and wheel combinations for my utility trailer, I will definitely turn to etrailer.com for that purchase. Great product, customer service (delivery to door) and reasonable price for new tires and wheels.
Comments
After one year, still in the Pacific NW and housed outdoors, the wheels and tires continue to look great - with minimal wear and no sign of weather checking. Again, should I need to replace either one of them, I intend to revisit etrailer.com.

Another no brainer review. It's just a 12 inch tire on a small white steel wheel. About the only thing that could go wrong would be for someone to steal it. I suspect that it will live it's useful life bolted to the tongue of my utility trailer and it's primary function will be to give me peace of mind when I'm out on the road. Pretty cheap peace of mind in my opinion...

Still hanging out on my trailer tongue waiting for an opportunity to be useful. Looks the same as last year except for some blood from smashing my finger earlier in the summer.

Just added two more of these for my boat trailer. Got to pick these up at the warehouse in Wentzville, Mo and its a very nice facility. The tires came with 60psi in them and I just hate the thought of putting 90psi in them. Seems crazy high pressure for these little Chinese tires but so does 60 for that matter.

Good value, but one valve stem cracked, for no obvious reason, on the first weekend I used them. This caused a flat, but though good luck I had a spare and a spare stem with me. A bit of a chore to replace.

Great price, great value, no way you'll find these for this cost locally. Free shipping was nice bonus! Ordered with chrome lugs and chrome center caps. Had to pop the center covers off to make the caps fit. If you measure and the size is the same on the covers, order the next bigger size.

After 10 years of neglect and abuse, we needed to replace our utility trailer wheels and tires. The obvious thing to do was replace them with what we had.

Wheels and tires continue work well. Weve put some rather hefty loads on the trailer without a problem. Also racked up 1,000+ miles without issue.

Quick delivery of tires I ordered. 13" trailer tires w/rims were each $20 less than any other local name brand store, received free shipping and saved sales tax of 7%! Easy transaction and good service with updated tracking of the shipment from time order was received to delivery. Good tires and good rims. Thank you etrailer.

Have not really used the boat this year which the trailer tires were for. But they still look great and seemed to pull just fine.

Ask the Experts about this Kenda Trailer Tires and Wheels
- Putting Larger Wheel and Tire Combinations on a Trailer with 4.80x12There is a lot of factors that go into this decision. First off what lug pattern do you have (See Article below)? I'm assuming you already have 5 lug but if not then you will have to look at a new hub assembly. If you already have the 5 on 4-12"lug pattern then you will need to look at dimensions that you can fit. 4.80-12 # AM30660 -Width 4.9" -Diameter 20.7" 175/80R13 # 274-000052 -Width 7" -Diameter 24" 205/75R15 # AC15R45BMMFL -Width 7.99" -Diameter 27.13" You will...
view full answer... - Would Load Range B 4.80-12 Tire Have Enough Capacity for 1330 lb Boat/TrailerA 4.80-12 Wheel/Tire combo like # AM30580 would provide a 4.80-12 Load Range B tire on a 12x4 white spoke wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. The tire has a 785 lb per tire/1570 per axle capacity. If the fully loaded weight of your trailer is under 1570 lbs, you'll be fine with a load range B tire. This being said, the price differential between the Load Range B # AM30580 and the Load Range C # AM30660 is miniscule. The load range C would offer a 990 lb per tire/1980 lb per axle...

However if it were me personally, I'd go with the Load Range C # AM30660 over the # AM30580 load range B. A little overkill never hurt anything, especially if the trailer should ever get accidentally overloaded. To learn more about trailer tires, click the provided link.

The # AM30660 is currently the only tire and wheel combination of that size that comes with a wheel that has a 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern.
view full answer... - Bias Ply vs. Radial Trailer Tire for Utility TrailerYes, radial tires are much preferred over bias ply tires for a number of reasons. The main difference between a radial ply and a bias ply tire is how the tire is constructed. The cords inside a bias ply tire run at a 32 degree angle to the direction of travel, and the cords on a radial tire run at a 90 degree angle to the direction of travel, or across the tire from wheel lip to wheel lip. A radial tire flexes more than a bias tire, giving it better ground contact, traction, stability,...

Trailer tires of one size could have B,C, and D load range options. B is going to have the lowest capacity while D would have the highest. For trailer tire and wheel combo # AM30660 the tire is a Load Range C. It is rated for 990 pounds at 90 psi. Going to a higher capacity tire will not increase the capacity of the trailer at all. Ideally you would get tires with the capacity...

For example a Load Range C tire in the 4.80-12 tire size like the part # AM30660 that you referenced has a 990 lb capacity at 90 psi. A Load Range C ST205/75D14 like part # AM3S440 would have a 1,760 lb capacity at 50 psi. I wish I had a simpler answer to provide for you.

view full answer... - Can 4.80-12 Load Range C Trailer Tire Be Ran at Lower Pressures Than What's Listed on Tire SidewallWe recommend keeping trailer tires fully inflated to the pressure rating listed on the tire sidewall as most trailer tire manufacturers don't load test their tires at any other pressure than the maximum. If you were to run your tires at a lower pressure than the recommended 90 psi, your tires would have an unknown load capacity and you could possibly be exceeding the load rating without knowing it.

This combination does have the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt hole pattern and comes in a load range C (990 lbs at 90 psi). You can use a tire with a lower weight rating as long as you are not overloading the tire. This is one of the bigger reasons for blowouts. Although it does cost more, I recommend going with the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire # AM31202 instead....

Your trailer's suspension has far more to do with that than the tire load rating. Trailer tires must always be inflated to the maximum psi pressure that appears on the tires' sidewalls. So when you install higher-rated tires you need to observe their higher pressure requirement in order for them to deliver their rated weight capacity. Using a tire with more weight capacity...

If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety margin.

view full answer... - What is the Largest Size Can I Upgrade My Trailer Tires To? When upgrading a tire size you always want to consider tire clearance. The actual distance between the inside of a tire and the frame rail depends a lot on the setup of the trailer. But as long as the tire and the frame don't touch you would be fine. You should have at least 2-3 inches from the sidewall to the trailer and at least 4 inches from the tread to the underside of the fender. You will need to take the measurements of the larger tires to measure and compare in order to ensure you...
view full answer... - Can a Load Range C Trailer Tire be Used in Place of a Load Range BYes you can use a load range C tire, size 4.80-12. If you want just the tire it is # AM10062. This tire is rated for 990 pounds at 90 psi. Please note that higher capacity tires will not increase the capacity of the trailer. Trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum psi indicated on the tire.
view full answer... - 4.8-12 Tire and 5 Lug Wheel Recommendation for TrailerFor a trailer wheel and tire that has the 4.80-12 Load Range C tire size mounted on a 5-lug wheel you would want the part # AM30660 as this matches all the criteria you mentioned. It does have a speed rating of 65 miles per hour like most trailer tires. There are no wheel/tires available with a higher speed rating. The outer diameter when inflated is at 20.7 inches though so you may still want to check and be sure this would fit. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Speed Rating and Air Pressure Maximum for Kenda 4.80-12 Trailer TiresFirst, Kenda tires are rated for 65 miles per hour. Exceeding that speed for an extended period of time will generate excessive heat and can lead to failure. Trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum psi indicated on the tire. This is because trailer tires are built with a thicker sidewall compared to passenger vehicle tires and if under inflated the thicker sidewall will generate excessive heat.
view full answer... - Why Does Trailer Tire Weight Rating Drop When Used in Dual Tire SetupGood question. Trailers that use dual tires on both sides of the same axle, so that a tandem axle trailer with two such axles has a total of 8 tires, will often have a lower per-tire rating for that dual-tire setup. In other words, the total capacity will be less than 8 times the single tire rating. For example, one single Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire # PRG80235 has a weight rating of 4080-lbs when it is used as the one tire on each end of the axle. But if it is used in a...
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Tire Recommendation for 1999 R Vision Trail Lite 7253As long as the tires you end up using on your trailer are rated for the weight that will be on the trailer and the size you go with won't cause any clearance issues you are find to go with a smaller or larger tire. I'd recommend going with the size the trailer was designed for though unless you prefer having the trailer sit a little bit lower. For a galvanized wheel with the tire size 205/75-14 and the 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14"...
view full answer... - 14 inch Rim and Tire Recommendation to Replace a 4.80x12 Rim and TireI would recommend the Karrier ST205/75R14 with White Wheel part # AM32153. This has a radial tire (preferred over bias plys) and a rim with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern that should work well. I attached an FAQ on trailer tires for you to check out as well.
