The speed rating for Kenda Karrier tire part # AM39053 is 81 MPH. That is the maximum speed recommended for these tires.

Most tires have a M, L or J on the sidewall of the tire that indicates the speed rating. This particular Kenda tire has a M rating. The letter M means 81 Mph, while L means 75 Mph and J means 62 Mph maximum speed. If the tire does not have a M, L or J on the sidewall, the default speed rating is 65. I have attached a helpful tire article for your reference.
