Replacement for Innova Driver 215/35-12 Trailer Tires

Question

Question:

Hello, I have a motorcycle cargo trailer that has Innava IA-8018-03 215/35-12 tires . Im looking to buy a couple more, but I see these are not speed rated. Im wondering if there is a better tire I could purchase that would have a speed rating for hwy use? these have worked fine, but it says they are not rated for over 50 mph theyve gone much faster. What would you suggest? They are a 4 bolt rim.

I do have options for you but the Innova Driver 215/35-12 tires you have are a very oddball size. The best size we have to replace these are going to be a 225/55-12 like the Kenda Tire part # AM1HP60 which is 21.8" diameter x 8.9" wide or a 4.80x12 like the Taskmaster Tire part # TT48012C which is 20.6" diameter x 4.8" wide. The Kenda option has a 65 mph speed rating and the Taskmaster option has an 81 mph speed rating. For reference, the 213/35-12 tires you have now are 17.9" diameter x 8.5" wide.

Answer 5

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…
