Kenda vs Taskmaster Wheel and Tire Comparison for 4.80-12 on 4 Bolt Wheel
Question:
Hi, and thank you. I posted a question yesterday, but I thought I should clarify a bit. I’m planning an extensive tour of National Parks towing my 80’s Coleman Caboose trailer 900 lbs capacity with 4.80x8 tires. I probably won’t have more than 300lbs in the trailer towing at highway speeds. I can easily upgrade to 480x12 wheels/tires and would appreciate a recommendation. Once again, thanks!

The Kenda Wheel and Tire part # AM30620 and the Taskmaster part # TA89RR you referenced are very similar in a lot of ways. White wheel, 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern, Load Range of C, but the big difference is the speed rating. The Taskmaster is rated for speeds up to 81 MPH and the Kenda is only for up to 65 mph.
