  Need trailer tire help

I have the 12" 5.30 on my boat trailer that is rated up to 2500 lbs but in reality it has less than that. The maximum load rating I can find on a 12" 5.30 is 1045 lbs. Seem like you are overloading the tires. I would be worried about the huds and axle ratings. Some how I think someone is snowing you concerning the trailers load rating.

Personally I would stay away from the 12" wheel. I have them on my boat trailer but the Seadoo is very light and does not move on the trailer with tiedowns.
I have never seen them stand up with heavier loads or work well with tandem axels. I wish I had a dollar for every old tandem 12" boat trailer rig I had seen in my travels with blown tires.
With dynamic loads like a tractor, ie the wheel will flex as it corners etc. loads are transfered to 2 or 3 tires. If you have 2 tires carrying a load of 4 for a moment then you are asking for a blow out.
I guess I am not certain as to why you need to so low. My trailer with dove tail has a deck near 2 ft of the road. I have never had any trouble loading with 4x and ramps.
I would look at possibly the wider rims and the commercial tires used as moving dolly tires.

I am alway concerned about the 12" tires on my light boat trailer. I am always checking the temperature of the tires and bearings when I stop. If the bearing over heat they will quickly loose their grease and have catastrophic failure.
