Hi, I currently have size 4.8 12 load range B Kenda tires on a small boat trailer that carries a 12’ aluminum row boat and 15 hp outboard motor and wanting to size up to your Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 5.30-12 - Load Range B # AM10064. I’ve read that a load range B tire isn’t recommended on trailers and a load range C should be used. I’m not so sure that this info is really true at all but could you please clear this up? I was thinking of the size up to handle a 65 mph speed better than the 4.8 tire size. What is your guys opinion? Thank you.

@Brad We recommend load range B tires for trailers all the time. It really comes down to what kind of trailer they are on, and how they will be used. The C rage tires will have a higher ply rating and a thicker sidewall which technically makes them more durable. The thick sidewall can make for a bumpy ride on small trailers. If the B range tires are serving you well currently, that is probably what I would stick with. As long as you have enough clearance in the fender/wheel well area, the # AM10064 will be a great choice for an upgrade.

Since both a ST145/R12 size tire, like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM10130, and a 5.30-12 size tire, like the Kenda K353 #AM10068, fit a 12 inch wheel, a ST145/R12 size tire can replace a 5.30-12 size tire. Keep in mind that these tires do have…

Many times, trailer tires do not have a speed rating. The tires that we carry are rated for up to 65 miles per hour unless otherwise indicated on the tire sidewall. Since 185/80-12 is not a common trailer tire size, it would require going to a 13…

The Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range B #AM30590 have a max speed of 65 mph. When trailer tires are not speed rated with a letter, the default is 65 mph max. I've attached an article to…

Answer 6

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 7

The psi should be listed on the sidewall of the tire. It is recommended that tires always be inflated to the max psi. The max psi of the tire will depend on the tire's load range, not the weight of the trailer. For instance, we carry 5.30-12…

Answer 8

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

Answer 9

Load Range for trailer tires has to do with the weight capacity. The higher the Load Range the higher the weight capacity and usually the higher the PSI recommendation for the tire. Going with a higher Load Range will not give you the ability to…

Yes, a galvanized wheel will resist rust and corrosion better than a painted/coated wheel. This will apply to both the bead seat and face. In regards to cost, if you do not have access to a tire mounting machine or the means to use one for that…

Based on my research, the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 8,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles #AKHD-865-8-EZ-K will be a replacement for the 90865 Rockwell hub and drum. Both of these hub and drum assemblies are 12-1/4" diameter, have an 8,000 lb capacity,…
