Helpful Expert Reply:

The Triton Elite Series of trailer includes 12 different single axle models, according to their website. The particular Kenda trailer tire/wheel you referenced, part # AM3H390, is a load-range-C-rated 205/65-10 bias tire on a 10 x 6-inch white powder-coat-finish steel wheel. This tire size and load range is used on several of their Elite series trailers, however their website does not indicate bolt pattern.

The DOT-approved Kenda tire/wheel you referenced has a 5-on-4-1/2 bolt pattern and its maximum load at its rated 50-psi pressure is 1100-lbs. If your existing wheels use this bolt pattern then these could be suitable replacements if their weight capacity is appropriate for your model trailer. The two linked articles will help you identify your tire size and bolt pattern.

Please note that trailer tires should only be operated at their rated pressure; under-inflation will reduce their capacity and lead to excessive heat build-up; and over-inflation will result in uneven tread wear.

This tire/wheel combination is not fully dynamically balanced like a passenger vehicle tire, but at the time of mounting the low spot on the tire and the high spot on the wheel are matched to provide a level of balance suitable for use on a trailer.
