Re: Changing tire size
Hi, I have a jet ski trailer that use a 4.80 x 12 range B that failed on me due to a leak in the valve. Well my question is that can I replace the tire with 5.30 x 12 range c tire without changing any thing else?. The reason I ask is because harbor freight sell them but not the 4.80 x 12.
Yes, you can. Recommended rim widths are the same-4.0". Just be aware that the 5.30's are .4" taller , and .3" wider (section width), so check your clearance, both fenders and rails.
Both sizes come in load range B & C, so if your original tires are "B", you'll be OK on that. I'd check with a local dealer first. By the time you pay shipping, you may not save much, and I have no idea what quality tires Harbor Freight sells. Also, iboats has tires.
