[quote=Dogboy]I went with 5.30-12 tires on my trailer. Mostly this was out of necessity - I was travelling to a regatta and got a blowout. The local West Marine didn’t have 4.80-12 wheels in my lug pattern so had to bump up one size. Anyway, depending on how much load you carry on your trailer, these may be worth considering since they are the same diameter as the 4.80-12 but are slightly wider and have a higher load rating IIRC.
On a related note- don’t assume that the lug wrench for your tow vehicle is compatible with your trailer lugs. I’ve gotten burned on that one more than once. Since then I’ve concluded that the $30 or so to buy a dedicated breaker bar and socket for the trailer lugs that can be stored with each trailer (not in the car) is well worth the investment in peace of mind.
