Best Trailer Wheel and Tire in Size 4.80-12  

I have the perfect solution for you with the Taskmaster 4.80-12 Tire #TT48012C. This tire has a Load Range C (990 lbs at 90 psi) weight capacity per tire and can travel safely up to 81 mph so it definitely fits the bill! If you need to replace the…

I have a solution for you, but unfortunately we do not carry any tires in the 155/80R12 size. We do have the size ST145/R12 which is slightly smaller but does come on a wheel with a 4 on 4" bolt pattern. The Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM35351DX is…

I can't tell if you have radial or bias ply tries, but switching to radial would be the best upgrade you could make here. A lot of 4.80-12 tires are bias ply, and radial will be much better for highway use. There is no need to swap out the wheel.…

I went ahead and checked to see if we carry the Kenda KR25 Radial Trailer Tire with 12" Aluminum HWT Wheel #AM31208HWT that you mentioned is available with an E load range, and unfortunately that is not going to be an available option. For a…

The 4.80-12 trailer tire is still made to this day so if that is what you have and need replaced, I recommend the Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire part #TT48012C which is the only 4.80-12 trailer tire we offer with a radial ply. This is…

Your 4.80-12 tire has an overall diameter of 20.5 inches, a 145/80-12 tire will have an overall diameter of 21.3 inches. The fender clearance difference you would see with the taller size would be .4 of an inch. If you can fit an additional .4 of an…

If you are traveling 3,000 miles and you will be doing mostly highway traveling, I do suggest going with Radial tires. The Kenda Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire #AM10130 will have a capacity of up to 1,220 pounds at 65 psi and…

Bias ply and radial tires are good at doing different things. Bias ply tires have a sturdier sidewall and are thus better for off-road and agricultural applications but still work just fine on pavement. Radial tires track better and run cooler than…

I recommend the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire #AM10130. This is a radial tire with a speed rating of 81 MPH. The radial tire is much better suited for highway travel as that sounds like what you are using the trailer for. It is…

Carlisle and Kenda trailer tires are about the same in terms of quality. We only sell Kenda currently so I'll try not to give you too much bias...but the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire #AM10130 that you referenced is very…

The 12 inch tire/wheel combos we offer with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern are part #AM31208, and part #AM31208HWT. Both of these combos use tires that have a load range D and are 145/80-12. The Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire, part #AM10140, is…

Stainless steel lug nuts will work great with the Kenda KR25 Radial Trailer Tire with 12" Aluminum HWT Wheel #AM31208HWT. There are sleeves in the wheel that are steel which prevents issues from dissimilar metals. I attached a picture where you…
