When we do not indicate a specific speed rating for a trailer tire or wheel/tire item this simply means that the product has a nominal 65-mph speed rating. This is typically classified as either a J or K speed rating. We only call out the higher speed ratings, such as an L rating of 75-mph or an M rating of 81-mph.

Kenda Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10245 is rated for the nominal 65-mph speed so we do not call that out.

The same-size Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # TR20515D is rated for 81-mph, the M speed rating.
