Find a replacement 4.80 8 tire by comparing options in the size your equipment calls for. Check each listing’s load rating, rim compatibility, and whether it includes a wheel or just the tire, so you can pick the right fit for the job.

A 4.80-8 tire is a size you may find on small utility trailers, boat trailers and other light-duty hauling equipment around the farm or property. Often searched as a “4.80 8 tire,” this size designation points to a nominal tire width of 4.80 inches and an 8-inch wheel diameter—not the tire’s overall height. Getting the right replacement takes more than matching those numbers, though. Check the existing tire sidewall and your trailer manufacturer’s specifications for the required tire type, load range, load capacity and speed rating. A trailer hauling fencing supplies down a county road can have different demands than equipment moving slowly around the barnyard, so make sure the replacement is rated for its intended application. Matching the specified tire size and service requirements helps you keep your hauling setup ready for the work ahead. Before choosing a 4.80-8 replacement tire or a tire-and-wheel assembly, take a close look at the wheel fit and your trailer’s weight requirements. A tire sold on its own needs a compatible rim, while a complete assembly also needs the correct bolt pattern, center bore and wheel offset for your equipment. Load range matters, but check the stated weight capacity of each tire rather than relying on size alone, and never exceed the limits of the trailer, axle, wheels or tires. For inflation, follow the trailer manufacturer’s recommended cold tire pressure and the tire manufacturer’s guidance; the pressure molded into a sidewall may describe the pressure required for its maximum rated load rather than a recommendation for every setup. Before heading out, inspect your 4.80-8 trailer tires for cracking, bulges, uneven tread wear and embedded debris, and check the valve stems for leaks or damage. Whether you’re hauling feed, tackling fence repairs or taking a boat to the ramp, the right fit and routine tire checks help keep a small trailer ready to roll.
