The load capacity of this tire is fixed and cannot be increased by driving at a lower highway speed..

If you are using the Kenda Karrier, # AM10501, tire , then the tire is inflated to the max psi listed on the tire. In this case, 110 psi. At 110 psi the tire has a weight capacity of 3,960 lbs.

This capacity does not fluctuate on how fast you are traveling. At 100 mph or at 5 mph the weight capacity is still 3,960 lbs at the max psi..

I have attached an article that explains some frequently ask questions about trailer tires for you to review.
