Wheel and Tire Recommendation for Trailer Size ST175/80-13 with Higher Speed Rating
Question:
Hello. I am interested in your Kenda Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13inch White Wheels. First, I assume that these come mounted and ready to go, is this correct? Secondly, and more importantly, what is the speed rating for those Kenda tires? I see that on your site you seem to adhere to a 65 mph trailer tire speed limit recommendation. However, Discount Tire list their trailer tires as N rated both D and R tires and Tire Rack list theirs as L rated all radial on their siteand even specify that no tire pressure adjustments are necessary to use their L rated tires at speeds up to 75 mph. I like the bias ply Kenda tires you offer better than what DT and TR offer but not if they are limited to 65 mph. Can these be taken up to 75 at higher pressures? My fiberglass trailer is only rated to 1,400 MVGW so load is hardly an issue. Thanks!

Yes, the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" White Wheel # AM31233 comes with the tire mounted to the wheel so that you would be ready to throw it on your trailer and be on your way.
Since you are concerned about speed rating I have a much better solution for you though. The Provider ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" White Wheel # TA43RR has an M speed rating which means it can go up to 81 MPH. Plus the tire is a radial which will wear better and provide a smoother ride.
