Helpful Expert Reply:
If you are traveling 3,000 miles and you will be doing mostly highway traveling, I do suggest going with Radial tires. The Kenda Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10130 will have a capacity of up to 1,220 pounds at 65 psi and have an M speed rating (81 miles per hour). Radial tires also run cooler and are ideal for highway use.
