I am looking to upgrade/replace my tires and wheels on my old Spartan tilt-roller trailer. The current tire size says 5.3-12 and the rims are 4 hole 4" spacing. I have only been able to find 4.8-12 tires on this rim. Any ideas on what to do or where to find the proper size combination? I would like to upgrade to the whitespoke, but that is just an asthetic upgrade for this old rig. No new boat this year for me, have to make small adjustments as I can. I keep my boat indoors, but I am not sure just how old the tires are. They look fine, but I have heard that they should be replaced every so often for safety reasons. Any input on any of this is appreciated. I am in NW Iowa if anyone can give location within a couple hours, that would be fine, or I can order in.
