When you say Kenda Loadstar K353 12", I believe you are referring to the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 4.80-12 part # AM10062 or Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 5.30-12 part # AM10066. Both of these Kenda K353 Bias trailer tires are rated for 65 MPH.

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…

The closest radial tire size I would have to replace the 4.80-12 bias tire size is the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145R12 Radial Trailer Tire #AM10130. The 4.80-12 bias tire is 20.7 inches tall and 4.9 inches wide. The 145R12 radial tire is 21.3 inches…

The Loadstar 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel part #AM30670 comes with a steel reinforced rubber valve stem rated up to 100 psi so the max fill psi of 90 psi for this tire is within the limits of the valve stem.

The correct valve stem for the trailer wheel part #AM20151 that you referenced is the part #AM20904 which fits rim hole diameters of .453 inch. This will work great with the Kenda K371 Bias Trailer Tire part #AM10004 that you referenced as well.

87 MPH is really high for a trailer tire. Especially in the size of 4.80-12. Typically trailer tires are rated for 65 with some exceptions for 75 and 81 mph. We have the Taskmaster Tire 4.80-12 part #TT48012C which is rated for 81 mph. You should see…

The Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire part #AM10062 as with all of our trailer tires has a tubeless design which means you would not need an inner tube nor would one be permitted.

Typically special trailer tires are usually rated to operate at a maximum speed of 65 mph and if you exceed 65 mph, heat could build up in the tire and cause it to break down and fail. The tire I recommend for your 4.80-12 size is the Kenda #AM10062…

Yes, a 4.80-12 trailer tire uses a 12 inch diameter wheel that is 4 inches wide. The 4.80 spec is the width of the tire. I have attached a link to all of our 12 inch x 4 inch trailer wheels for you to check out. They come with either a 4 on 4 inch…

Answer 10

What you found is a DOT number and not a speed rating. I was able to figure out which tire you have and it's a Loadstar 4.80-12 that has a 65 mph speed rating. In this size we have a tire that can go 81 mph as part #TT48012C.

Answer 11

The 2x2 inch square axle is likely 3,500 lbs or less capacity. I would need more spindle dimensions or bearing numbers to assist. If you pull a hub and measure at the spindle where the bearings and seal ride using the digital caliper like #PTW80157 I…

Answer 12

The 12 inch tires that we carry are rated for 65 miles per hour. Any faster than that for extended periods and the excessive heat build up will cause tire failure. To get a tire with a higher speed rating you would have to go up in size. That also…
