Availability of a Size 4.80-12 Tire with a Speed Rating Higher than 65 MPH
Question:
hi, my trailer has 4.80-12 tires Im trying to get tires that are rated higher speed than 65mph because Im going a 600 mile trip with a load approximately 800 lbs what tires do you recommend, thank you!
asked by: Ricardo
Expert Reply:
Typically special trailer tires are usually rated to operate at a maximum speed of 65 mph and if you exceed 65 mph, heat could build up in the tire and cause it to break down and fail.
The tire I recommend for your 4.80-12 size is the Kenda # AM10062 because it was designed for excellent handling at high speeds even though the speed rating is 65 mph. The load rating is 990 pounds at 90 psi.
I included a couple informative articles for you too.
