I have a solution for you that will work. Any time you're moving, it's a good idea to make sure your equipment can get the job done, especially over long distances.

While all of our available tires in this size are designed for excellent handling at high speeds, the one I'm recommending most is the Kenda # AM30153 tire because it's higher 8-ply rating (Load Range D) allows it support a 900 lbs. maximum load at 100 PSI. This capability will come in handy as you load up that moving trailer.

These sturdy tires will get the job done and you'll be pleased with their highway performance, mile after mile.

Answer 1

The highest rated 8 inch wheel/tire combo we offer would have an 'M' speed rating, which is good up to 81mph. This would be a 215/60-8 bias ply tire mounted on a 8 x 7 inch wheel with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern. The tire has a C load…

Answer 2

Most trailer tires require the full max PSI at all times regardless of load, but there are some tires out there like Goodyear that do have inflation charts like you mentioned where you need to use a certain PSI based on the load of the trailer. I…

Although we do not carry Carlisle tires I was able to find the maximum pressure for the 4.80-8 sport trail tire on their site. If you have a load range B tire the correct psi is 60. If you have a load range C tire the correct psi is 90. I recommend…

Answer 4

In order to find the correct tires for your trailer, we will also want to take wheel bolt pattern into consideration. All of the 5.70-8 size tires that we carry have either a 4 on 4 bolt pattern or a 5 on 4-1/2 pattern. I have attached a help article…

Answer 5

If the center part of the hubs on your trailer are 2-1/2 inches or smaller then tire and wheel combo #AM30120 will fit. A pilot hole can be larger than the hub center diameter if the wheel is held on to the hub with lug nuts. But if it attaches using…

Answer 6

The Kenda 5.70-8 Wheel/Tire combo you mentioned, part #AM30120 would be an excellent replacement. It would be compatible with the bolt pattern, pilot diameter and wheel stud size of your current hubs. The tire is 18 inches in diameter and has a…

No, unfortunately it is not true that over-inflating a tire allows it to be driven faster, nor can it carry more weight. It is never appropriate to under- or over-inflate a trailer tire for any reason. Trailer tires should ALWAYS be inflated to the…

Answer 8

That's a really interesting and valid point, but as we have found the trailer brake assemblies are easily more powerful than needed based on their capacity so if you had a 3,500 lb axle with matching brake assemblies they would very easily be…

Answer 9

All of the trailer tires we carry are now rated for 65 miles per hour. The load range of a tire does not change its speed rating, so a B load range will have the same 65 mph speed rating as a C load range. For the Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire,…

Answer 10

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 11

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 12

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.
