Replacement 4,80R12 Trailer Tires for Highway Speeds
Question:
Replacement PWC trailer tires. I make a 1500 mile trip to Michigan with my jetski. I see that most Kenda tires are only rated for 65 mph. I need to be able to go 80+ as the Michigan roads it is common to go 80-85. I would like to stay away from Taskmater tires as they are made in China. Are there any 5 lug 4.80-12 Kendas or american tires that will suit my needs? Thanks

The only option to go at the speed you want is going to be from Taskmaster, as there is not a Kenda tire or an American-made tire which is going to meet your speed rating needs.
The Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C # TT48012C, which has an 81 mph speed rating and 990 lb capacity when inflated to 90 psi, is the only option, but it is a quality one. This tire has been rated over 200 times (as of this writing) by our customers who have used them, and they have gotten a nearly 5-star rating, as you can see on the "Reviews" section of the product page.
I have added a link to a video review of this tire for you to check out.
