We have a great option for a highly durable 5.30-12 trailer tire that is going to be perfect for the more rugged terrain of camping trails, the Kenda 353 Bias Trailer Tire. You only need to know what load range is appropriate, which depends on the weight of your loaded trailer:

- Load Range B (840 lb capacity per tire): Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 5.30-12 # AM10064

- Load Range C (1,045 lb capacity per tire): Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 5.30-12 # AM10066

These have a stiffer sidewall to endure the trails you'll be on and Kenda tires have a great reputation for making lasting, high-quality tires.

I've added links to video reviews for you to check out as well.

Answer 5

The letter ratings you mentioned are the Load Ranges. These are related to the weight capacity of the tire and do not reflect the speed rating. The tire part #AM10066 that you referenced has a 65 mph speed rating.

Yes, the #AM10066 would be a replacement that would work great on your Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel #AM30790. It is the same size and Load Range of C.
