Expert Reply:

Yes, with trailer tires you do need to always keep the tire inflated to it's max PSI rating to ensure you get the full weight capacity of it and minimize heat build up which might cause premature failure.

So to ensure you get the full weight capacity of the # AM30859 you'd need to inflate it to 105 PSI when cold.

Answer 1

Yes, the Dexter axle part #7359765 that you referenced uses the same 84 spindle that you have measures. This will allow you to reuse your current hubs and bearings.

Actually, there's a little more to it than that. The magnets on the #K23-478-479 are a little different, but the primary difference is the mounting bolt pattern. On a typical 3500 lb brake assembly, the mounting studs will all be 2-7/8…

If you compare two tires of the same manufacturer and tire size, load range B tires should all have the same capacity, same for load range C or D. A 205/65-10 tire like part #AM1HP56 has a 1650 lb capacity at 90 psi. Two tires would give you a 3300…

Answer 7

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

Since both a ST145/R12 size tire, like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM10130, and a 5.30-12 size tire, like the Kenda K353 #AM10068, fit a 12 inch wheel, a ST145/R12 size tire can replace a 5.30-12 size tire. Keep in mind that these tires do have…

Assuming the trailer is as single axle and only has two tires the smallest we carry is a 205/75-14 size tire. The Kenda #AM10235 measures 26.3 inches in diameter and has a weight capacity of 2,200 pounds at 75 psi. You also want to make sure the…

Answer 10

Trailer tires are organized by Load Ranges which basically represents the weight capacity for that tire size. So for example the Load Range C trailer tire and wheel part #AM32395 that you referenced has a weight capacity of 1,820 lbs at 50 psi.…

From what I could find, the Harbor Freight trailers do say not to exceed 45 miles per hour in the owners manual. That being said, the tires they use are not rated very high and may be the limiting factor. The trailer you have looks to use a 5 on 4…
