Expert Reply:

The Kenda Loadstar K371 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10002 that you referenced is a tubeless tire so there isn't a tube available that will work with it. This is actually the case with all of our available trailer tires, as tube tires aren't very common anymore and we don't typically recommend them for trailer applications.

This Kenda tire has a maximum speed rating of 65 mph, which is the highest speed rating we have for 4.80/4.00-8 size tires. I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well.
