Availability Of 14" Tire/Wheel Combo Rated For Over 75 MPH

Question:

Hi, I have a skiff trailer approx 1500 lbs with a 14 inch wheel which currently have loadstar k550’s on them. I would like to drive 75mph on the highway. Is there a tire rated for this or a wheel tire combo? Would a 15” wheel increase the speed rating? Many thanks

We do offer a tire that will fit those specifications. The Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10235 has an 81 mph speed rating. We also have this available as a combo with # AM32131, which comes on a black powder coated 5 on 4-1/2" wheel.

The 81 mph speed rating is the highest speed rating out there for trailer tires. So going to a 15" would not increase the speed rating. You may get an increase in the max load rating, but that would be it.
