hi bob  i.m aware that 12inch tyres are available  for trailers ,but they seem to be 145 and upwards, freedoms need to be 135/80/12/65s  or t because of the clearance in the well , the thing is they are a car tyre  and finding them is hard  , i live in w.yorks and had to get them from middlesex   [11quid from D H L delivery]    cheers

..145/80x12 car tyres from blackcircles I would have thought a 145 would fit ok. A 145 will raise your ride height 8mm compared with 135.

Anybody who dosen't want blow outs. Its standard practice to change tyres after 5yrs, regardless of wear.

If you google for a tyre size calculator it allows you to compare change in ride height between sizes.

the reason you need 135 tyres is due to the area  in the wheel well any thing wider than 135 will rub on the sidewall of the tyre there is quite a bit of leeway for a slightly taller tyre, tried a 145 only had 3mm clearence to inside edge of the wheel well,155 has no chance         cheers sticker

Can't remember now what size they were, but when I had a Microlite a couple of years ago my local tyre fitters got hold of a set of new tyres for me within 24 hours.
