• Is It Okay If Trailer Weighs Exactly 2,100 lbs When Loaded and it has Tire Capacity of 2,100
  If you are absolutely certain that your trailer when loaded would not exceed 2,100 lbs then you wouldn't need to worry as you should be fine. I would strongly recommend you keep your tires inflated to their maximum psi though. If a trailer tire is inflated to a lower air pressure than the maximum, the amount of weight that the tire can carry will be reduced. If a heavier load is put on the trailer tire than what is recommended for that air pressure, the sidewall of the tire could heat...

• What Tire Pressure Should Trailer with 12 inch Wheels be Ran At
  With trailer tires like # AM30670 you have to run the max tire pressure rating that's on the sidewall of the trailer. This ensures you get the full weight capacity of the tire and also that you prevent any heat build up which also leads to premature tire failure. Trailer suspension by nature is a bit bouncier than vehicle suspension since there isn't a shock there to dampen the movement of it.

• Comparing Two Tires of the Same Size For Spare Tire Use
  When comparing two tires, what really matters is the size, bolt pattern of the wheel, speed rating and load range are the same. The DOT code is a date of manufacturer code so that isn't going to matter as much. If both the stock and spare tire are 4.80-12 Load Range C tires then they are the same size so there will not be a difference there. You want to make sure both wheels have the same bolt pattern to fit the trailer. The only Loadstar 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire we carry is part # AM30670...

• Can Tire Pressure be Lowered on Motorcycle Trailer to Provide a Better Ride
  You always want to keep your trailer tires psi set to what is recommended. If the psi is higher or lower then the tire will not perform as the manufacturer states. For instance, the Kenda # AM30670 is rated for 990 lbs at 90 psi. If we were to deflate the tires at all then the 990 lbs capacity that Kenda says the tire can handle will not be the case anymore. Underinflated tires are more prone to overheating and tire failure as well. I strongly advise against lowering the psi.

• Correct Inflation Pressure for Trailer 4.80-12 Trailer Tires
  Tire size 4.80-12 is not found on vehicles, but is a common trailer tire size on smaller utility- and sport-type trailers. In trailer use you do want to inflate them to the maximum cold psi pressure noted on the tire sidewall. Trailer tires should never be under- or over-inflated since they can deliver their rated weight-carrying capacity only when inflated to their specified pressure. Incorrect inflation can lead to excessive heat which is the main cause for tire failure. All of our tires...

• What are Limitations When Upgrading to Larger Tires?
  Should you want to upgrade the size of your wheels and tires you can, you'll only need to determine how much available space you have and pick a wheel and tire combination that will fit. You are also going to need wheels with the same bolt pattern; I've added a link to a help article that explains how to determine bolt pattern. I have also attached a link to each of our available wheels and tires for you to take a look at.

• Troubleshooting Tire Wear Down Middle of Tread on Trailer
  Generally speaking, a trailer tire will wear in the middle of the tread when it is over-inflated, however that does not appear to be the case with the tires on your trailer. With that being said, I do not recommend lowering the pressure on the tires to below the maximum psi recommended on the sidewall. Doing this will essentially lower the tire's load capacity to an unknown number, which may lead to you overloading them and causing further damage to the tires and trailer. A trailer tire...

• What is the Max Tire Pressure for the Kenda Loadstar Tire
  No matter what trailer tire you are using, including the Kenda Loadstar # AM30670, you need to keep the cold psi rating to the what the manufacturer recommends. When you are over or under the recommended pressure then you can cause excessive heat build-up which results in a blowout. Even if it feels like the 990 lbs at 90 psi weight capacity seems like overkill for your trailer this is the best way to maintain your trailer tires. You should be able to find the 90 psi rating somewhere on...

• Correct Replacement Tire and Wheel for 2021 Triton PWC Trailer
  The Loadstar 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Wheel # AM30670 does come with a galvanized wheel that has a silver color to them. The design of the galvanized process gives it a rough texture instead of a smooth texture like you see with standard wheel paint.

This is a 4.80-12 size bias ply...

• Can Loadstar Trailer Wheel and Tire # AM30670 Fit Hub with Bore Diameter of 2-3/4 Inches
  Yes, since the pilot diameter of the trailer wheel part # AM30670 is larger than what you'd need and this has the correct bolt pattern it would work well for you. This wheel centers on the lug nuts which is why having a larger pilot diameter does not negatively affect anything.

• What Should Loadstar 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30670 Inflate to
  The interesting thing about trailer tires is that they need to be inflated to their max psi rating at all times regardless of load. This ensures that heat does not build up which causes premature failure. So for a tire like the Loadstar 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30670 that has a 90 psi max pressure rating you need to make sure you inflate it to 90 psi when cold at all times and you'll be set.

• Tire Size to Replace 215/75R14 to Drop Trailer Height 3 inches
  You'd have to go with a tire that is 6 inches overall shorter in diameter than what you have now since the diameter of a tire is split on either side of the axle. So based on the size you have now to lose that much diameter you'd need to go with the tire size of 4.80-12 like the # AM30670 which comes on a wheel that has the same bolt pattern as your current 14 inch wheel. This has a weight capacity of 990 lbs per wheel so you would need to verify that would be enough for your application.

• Trailer Tire & Wheel With 5 on 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern Smaller Than 5.30-12 Tire
  A 5.30-12 trailer tire measures 21.9 inches in diameter and - assuming you have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern - you can go to a smaller 4.80-12 tire and wheel, which will measure 20.7 inches in diameter: - Loadstar 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30670 The # AM30670 is a load range C with a 990 lb capacity, so keep that in mind. The 4.80-12 is going to be the smallest you can go as anything else will be just too wide to fit.

• Should I Use Radial or Bias Trailer Tires On My Jet Ski Trailer?
  Really you'd be fine going with either tire but the better of the two are definitely Radials. Radial tires have a longer life than bias tires, usually provide a smoother and quieter ride, provide better fuel economy because they have less rolling resistance, and are overall much stronger than bias tires because of their construction. Also, you probably had bias tires on your older trailers because up until recent those were considered the better tire for carrying heavier loads, but that...

• Can You Mix Different Load Range Tires On The Same Boat Trailer Axle
  The 4.80X12 2 ply tire at 60 psi that you have is a Load Range B tire. The other 4 ply tire at 90 psi should be a Load Range C tire. When the inflation pressure is higher that will indicate a higher load range. The Load Range B tire should have a maximum load of 785 lbs. listed on the tire. The Load Range C should have a maximum load of 990 lbs. listed on the tire. I would recommend to have the same size and load range of tire on the same trailer axle. You will want to have the correct...

• Choosing a Spare Tire and Wheel for a Jet Ski Triton Trailer
  You are on the right track. Either the # AM30660 or the # AM30670 would work fine for you. The AM30660 features a white powder coat finish, while the AM30670 has a galvanized finish. It would be up to your individual preference as to which wheel is better for you. The 3.19 pilot diameter refers to the hole in the center of the wheel that the hub grease cap passes through. The section width refers to the distance from the widest point of the outer sidewall to the widest point of its inner...

• Replacement Wheel and Tire Recommendation for Load Rite Boat Trailer 14F1000W
  We have wheels and tires that would work well for you. You would need to know what bolt pattern your wheels have though. If you have a 5 lug bolt pattern the part # AM30670 would work well. This has an 65 mph speed rating and inflates to 90 psi when cold. For a 4 lug bolt pattern you would want the # AM30630 which also has the 65 mph speed rating.

• Replacement Trailer Spare for Tire Size 4.80-12
  The tire diameters are very different between the two sizes. The bigger size you have now of 4.80-12 is overall 20.5 inches tall and the older size 4.80-8 is 16.1 inches. Since that difference is split between either side of the spindle you'd have one side of the trailer sitting 2.2 inches taller than the other. In a very short-term emergency situation you could probably limp home with that but I would highly recommend matching the larger tire size for a spare with something like the part...

• Recommended PSI for 12x4 Tires
  It is recommended that tires always be inflated to the max psi, which should be listed on the sidewall of the tire. The psi ratings for two tires of the same size will differ based on each tire's load range. For instance, a Kenda 4.80-12 tire, such as Item # AM30670, is a load range C tire with a capacity of 990 lbs at 90 psi. However, the same size tire at load range B, such as Item # AM30590, has a capacity of 785 lbs at 60 psi. Different tire manufacturers may also have different psi...

• Thinner Replacement Trailer Tires to Replace 20.5 x 8 - 10 Sized Tires
  Your 20.5 x 8-10 sized tires are the same as a 205/65-10 sized tire using new measuring. The rims are 6 inches wide.

• Can I Use Smaller Tires and Wheels to Lower Trailer for Storage
  I looked at tire options and basically anything that would fit your current rims would have a height of 23 inches or greater. You could change to a 12 inch rim so long as you do not use them for towing (unless they accommodate your weight capacity). Your weight capacity is not as important for storage. Depending on your bolt pattern, you have the following options: 1. Loadstar 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C Item # AM30670. Bias special...
