How to Pick Out Trailer Tire that Has Higher than 65 MPH Speed Rating
Question:
I am looking for new tires for my 2005 Fleetwood Travel trailer and was looking for some advice. I have Kenda Loadstar D tires today and was thinking that I would replace them with the same. However, I see that they have a speed rating of 65mph and I typically camp in Colorado and Wyoming where highway speeds can get up to 80mph. I just wanted to see if there is a better tire recommendation for me. Thanks,

You didn't give me a tire size that you are looking for but the Taskmaster radial trailer tires we carry are rated for up to 81 mph so that would be your best option.
You would need to select your tire size from the filters at the link I attached and all of the tires listed there will be rated for 81 mph.
