Question:
Can you tell me where the tire is manufactured? I'd rather not have a Chinese tire. Also, whats the speed rating? Thank you.

Expert Reply:
The Kenda/Loadstar tires are manufactured in either Taiwan or mainland China. You'd be hard pressed to find a trailer tire that's manufactured in the US these days. The tires still meet stringent DOT specifications, just like a tire manufactured here would. If you look at the product reviews for the, you can see that the # AM3S440 wheel/tire combo is very highly rated by our customers.
The overwhelming majority of trailer tires are rated for a maximum speed of 65 mph. Exceeding this speed rating on a consistent basis will cause heat to build up in the tire. Excessive heat is the number one cause of premature tire wear and failure.
I'll link you to our FAQ article about trailer tires, which I hope you'll find helpful.
