Recommended 5.3-12 Tire To Carry 1750lb Load And Go 60-70 MPH On Highway
Question:
Hi, I was wonder what tires I could buy that would accommodate a 1,750lb load at highways speeds 60-70MPH. The 5x8 utility trailer I just picked up can only go up to 45mph per the manufacturer. The existing wheels are 5.30-12in. tires. Im interested in buying two tires and a single tire/rim as a spare. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks,

Expert Reply:
As long as the 45 MPH speed rating on your 5' x 8' utility trailer is due to the tires I recommend replacing your current 5.3-12 tires with the Taskmaster 5.30R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C # TT53012C which have a load rating of 1050lbs per tire so they will have plenty of load rating for your 1750lb load.
The # TT53012C also has a speed rating of 81 MPH so you will be fine towing at 65-70 MPH.
I included a video of the # TT53012C for you to take a look at.
