What is the Difference Between Load Range B and C Trailer Tires of the Same Size
Question:
Does a C load range tire have a bigger weight capacity than a B as long as everything else is the same?
asked by: David G
Expert Reply:
Trailer tires that are the same size but with different load ratings will have different capacities. A load range C tire will have a higher capacity than a load range B tire of the same size. The Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12 Inch White Wheel, # AM30660, that you have referenced has a capacity of 990 pounds at 90 psi and it is a load range C.
The Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12 Inch White Wheel, # AM30580, has a capacity of 785 pounds at 60 psi and is a load range B.
