What is the Speed Rating of the Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire Load Range D  

Question:

Why doesnt this tire have a speed rating? I would be interested in a similar tire, load range D but with an 80mph rating. What can you reccomend?

The Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" White Wheel part # AM30859 does have a speed rating and it is 65 mph. I do have a higher rated option for you but this assembly comes with a bias ply tire and these typically don't have very high speed ratings.

In order to obtain an 80 mph speed rating you would need to use the Taskmaster 5.30R12 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 12" White Spoke Wheel part # TA78RR. However, this tire only has a load range C rating which is 200 lbs less than the above. We do not have any 5.30x12 radial ply tires with both a load range D rating and 80 mph speed rating but if you upgrade to a 205/75-14 tire like the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM32153 then this will have both the weight capacity and speed rating you are after. This new size will be 4.4" larger in diameter and 2.6" larger in width but you will only need to account for half of each measurement in regards to clearance.
