[QUOTE="Ringo Steele, post: 238809, member: 6694"] Keep in mind that there is more than one size for each wheel diameter. My trailer came with 12" wheels and 4.30? tires that were about 20 inches in diameter, but I replaced them with 8" rims with 5.70 tires at 18.5 inches diameter. 8" rims also come with 4.80 tires that are only 16.5 inches in diameter, so the 5.70 x 8 are between the two, and have worked well for me the last 13 years. I just replaced them with more of the same (I don't do interstate travel with my rig, so my speeds are usually under 60 mph. The 8 inchers I used are also about $20 cheaper per tire/wheel that the 12" units too. [/QUOTE]
