Other 12" trailer tires for $35.65 each

[OCD Solutions]

Looking for cheap, speed rated trailer tires? Try a set of 155/80R12's instead of the common 4.8x12 size.

I just bought a set off Amazon for $78.30 shipped.

There's more than a few members on the forum already running these tires but @tintr1 was who put me on to them.
Apparently these are stock tires for the Geo Metro.

I have run these tires and so have some other buddies of mine.
They seem to last longer than the standard 4.80 or 5.30 X 12’s

Tires arrived tonight. They look pretty decent but it will be a couple days before I can get around to mounting them.

Thanks for the mention Boyer! But I can’t take credit for that little nugget of info! The Godfather himself @ScottS passed on his wisdom!!!! Mine have been going strong for over 4 years now! I’ve added air one time!!

And yet he's not even running them himself, lol.

He's running a 145SR12 which i believe is an Austin Mini sized tire.

Finally got the new tires mounted. They are at least 2” taller than the original 4.8x12’s but they still clear my fenders just fine.

Original for direct comparison.

Any deals with them already on rims?
