Tires for 8 Inch Rims on Cart Trailer

Question:

Hi I have an atv and Im pulling a small cart it has 16x6.50-8 tires on it. I believe these tires are limited to a top speed of 9mph. I would like something a bit more speed 20mph, street legal is not a priority. Does a tire exists? It doesnt have to be the exact size just as long it fits my rims. Thank you. Sorry I may have sent this question to another dept.

I have never heard of tires with a speed rating of just 9 mph before and trailer tires are definitely going to be rated for higher than that, each with ratings well over 20 mph. We do have tires that fit 8 inch diameter wheels but the fit will depend on the width of your rims.

- 8" x 3-3/4" rims: Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 5.70-8 # AM10012 which measures 18" in diameter with a 5.9" width and has a 910 lb capacity when inflated to its max 75 psi

- 8" x 5-3/8" rims: Loadstar K399 Bias Trailer Tire - 165/65-8 # AM1HP22 which measures 16.5" in diameter with a 6.6" width and has a 800 lb capacity when inflated to its max 70 psi

- 8" x 7" rims: Loadstar K399 Bias Trailer Tire - 215/60-8 # AM1HP26 which measures 18.3" in diameter with an 8.9" width and has a 935 lb capacity when inflated to its max 50 psi

I have added links to video reviews of each of these tires for you to take a look at which should help you determine their compatibility.
