Upgrading Tires on Ultra-Tow 5 x 8 Aluminum Utility Trailer With Higher Speed Rating
Question:
Hi there. I purchased a trailer from Northern Tools a few years back. I read that the tires are rates for 45mph. Could you recommend a tire where I can go highway speeds: 55-70mph. Looking for something I can receive this week by Sat at the latest in California. Thanks!

The Taskmaster 5.30R12 Radial Trailer Tire part # TT53012C would be a great addition to a Ultra-Tow 5' x 8' Aluminum Utility Trailer. It has an 81 mph speed rating so you will not have any issues at highway speeds. It is also just a really great, quality trailer tire options so I m sure you'll be happy.
If you want a wheel/tire combo, the Taskmaster 5.30R12 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 12" White Spoke Wheel part # TA78RR would have the same tire as the above.
