Recommended Smaller Trailer Tires to Replace 5.30-12 Tires

Question:

Hi. I have 5.30-12 tires on my trailer right now. I need to the trailer by a few inches. Will 5.30-8 tires lower it? Do they make 5.30-8 tires? I’m only seeing 5.70-8. Will the 5.70-8 tires fit the same hub? Thanks.

They do make 5.30-8 tires but we unfortunately do not carry them. If you're looking for a smaller tire to lower your trailer, then I'd suggest going with the Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30630 for a 4 on 4 or # AM30670 for a 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern.

These tires are 4.80-12 which is going to be 1.4" smaller in diameter than your current 5.30-12 tires, so that should bring your trailer down a bit.
