The Loadstar K399 Bias Trailer Tire # AM1HP50 that you referenced will work great as a replacement 205/65-10 tire on your golf cart. This tire is technically designed for use on a trailer, but this just means that it's sidewalls have a thicker construction to better support heavier weights. The Kenda brand is actually very popular for golf cart applications and it's going to work perfectly on yours.

I have attached a customer-submitted review below for this particular tire that you might also find reassuring.

Answer 1

The two tire sizes you mentioned are very similar but the 18x8.5-10 is 1/2 an inch wider. Aside from that they are the same height at 18 inches and fit a 10 inch rim. The two sizes you mentioned aren't standard trailer tire sizes though. The…

I may have an option for you but we do not carry 4.80x10 or 5.20x10 trailer tires as this is an extremely uncommon tire size. The only tires we have confirmed to fit a 10" wheel are a 205/50-10 or a 205/65-10 tire. For a 205/50-10 tire I…

Answer 3

We don't have a radial tire in the size you need unfortunately. Only bias plys like the #AM1HP50 that you referenced. For a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern you would want the #AM3H370, for a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern #AM3H490.

First of all, the trailer tires that we carry are rated for a maximum of 65 miles per hour unless otherwise noted on the tire sidewall. Going faster than this will cause rapid heat build up in a trailer tire (which has a thicker sidewall) and can…

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

Answer 6

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

Answer 7

Since both a ST145/R12 size tire, like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM10130, and a 5.30-12 size tire, like the Kenda K353 #AM10068, fit a 12 inch wheel, a ST145/R12 size tire can replace a 5.30-12 size tire. Keep in mind that these tires do have…

Answer 8

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…

Answer 9

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

Answer 10

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
