Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…

Good morning, Cliff. As of today (3/27/24) we are expecting the #KE33JR tire/wheel combo to be in stock in about 2 weeks. Hopefully this means we can take our own pictures and put them on the site within maybe about 3-4 weeks from now. What I can…

The 205/65-10 and the 20.5 x 8-10 would be very close in size. Assuming that 20.5 is the diameter of the tire and 8 is the width. The Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10 inch White Wheel, #AM3H390, for example, is 8.3 inches wide with a…
