Recommended Tire and Wheel Upgrade For Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG535
Question:
Im looking at the Malone mega sport trailers. What tire upgrade do you have that would hopefully increase speed and safety as well as durability? Load amount or size. Thanks

Expert Reply:
I recommend upgrading to the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire w/ 12" Galvanized Spoke Wheel # AM31202 for the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG535. This radial tire is only roughly 3/4" taller than the stock tires which come on the trailer. The tires have a slightly higher load capacity which may cause the trailer to bounce more when unloaded due to the stiffer side walls. It is also speed rated up to 81mph and radial tires will run cooler for increased tread life.
