What Is Speed Rating For Kenda 205/65-10 Trailer Tire and How Do I find Speed Rating For Tires

Question:

I'm confused, a while ago I asked about speed rating on my tires and was told it was 65 MPH and then I saw another answer to someone else that said 87 MPH? I'm adding a second axle to my pontoon and need to order a couple of tires. Can you tell me what is the speed rating for this tire? Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10inch Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range E Item # AM3H490 And how can I tell the speed rating for my existing tires? Thanks

Because we have received different speed ratings for this tire, I contacted the manufacturer. The tech department of the manufacturer of the Kenda Bias Trailer Tire with Wheel, Item # AM3H490, confirmed that the speed rating of this tire is 65 mph.

Some tires can have a higher speed rating and these will be specifically notated on the tire. This particular tire does not have that different rating. Unless listed on the tire otherwise, your existing tires will also have a speed rating of 65 mph.

Contact us if you have any other questions.
