What is Meant by Rated for Highway Speeds on the Kenda 4.80-12 Tire with 12 inch White Wheel
Question:
when it says good for highway speed what is considered highway speed 55? 70?
asked by: Robert
Helpful Expert Reply:
Unless otherwise noted trailer tires should never exceed 65 miles per hour. That is what is meant by highway speeds.
Special trailer tires are usually rated to operate at a maximum speed of 65 mph. If you exceed 65 mph, heat could build up in the tire and cause it to break down and fail. If a tire is rated to run at a higher speed, this information should be listed on the trailer's sidewall.
