[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 480660, member: 12995"] A 4.8 x 8 trailer tires is around 16" tall and a 5.3 x 12 tire is around 22" tall so it really depends on what size tire you go with on how much taller it will be. The taller the tire size, the lower the rpm it will be spinning at on the highway which is better for your bearings. You also get more ground clearance if you're looking for it but that might be a negative on some flatter ramps if your boat sits too high. [/QUOTE]
