• Should Trailer Tires Always be Inflated to Their Max PSI
  On a towing setup you are always limited by the lowest rated component as the overall towing capacity since that is the weakest point. When it comes to trailer tires you always want to have them inflated to their max psi when cold. Not only do you get the full capacity at the max psi, you also will generate less heat in the tire since there won't be as much flex in the sidewall, you'll get better wear and better fuel mileage. The Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel # AM30153...

• Tire Pressure for Carlisle ST225/75R15 LR E Trailer Tire
  You will want to inflate the tires to the max psi that the tires have. Trailer tires always need to be inflated to their max pressure to ensure you get their full capacity whereas the max psi rating for a wheel is just how much in total it can handle. Since your tires state they need 80 psi you would need to inflate them to 80 psi when they are cold and you'd be set.

• Air Pressure Recommendation for Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire Load Range D # AM30153
  With trailer tires you need to run them at the max PSI listed on the sidewall to ensure you get the full capacity of the tire and to prevent heat build up in them. For the Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel - 4 on 4 - Load Range D # AM30153 that you referenced you'd need 100 psi. 60 psi would not be enough.

• Which Tire And Wheel Is Better AM30153 Or AM30130, Wanting A Galvanized Rim With Load Range D
  Hey Keith, For a tire and wheel combo the capacity you use is whatever is lowest. So on that Load Range D tire # AM30153 even though the tire is rated for more, the wheel is the same as the galvanized option # AM30130. Theoretically they have the same capacity even though one has a better rated tire. I did look and that is the highest load range galvanized rim we have so I recommend going with that option. What kind of trailer are you wanting to put these on?

• Recommended replacement for a 5.70 - 8 tire with higher speed rating
  Hey CD, you’re on the right track being concerned with heat and highway speeds in mind. With your current 5.70-8 tires, the main limitation won't be weight with your camper is only around 1,100 lbs, it’s heat and speed rating. Smaller trailer tires spin faster, which can build heat on long highway drives. The safest and simplest upgrade is to stay with the same size but move to a higher load range like load range C or D. These have stronger construction and handle heat better, which helps...

• Does Pilot Hole Diameter Matter When Replacing Trailer Wheels
  Trailer wheels like what is included with the Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with Wheel # AM30153 are centered on the lugs, not the hub, so the pilot hole size does not matter (as long as it's large enough to fit over the hub). The bigger pilot hole diameter on this wheel won't be a problem when using them to replace your current set. Just be sure that the bolt pattern on the new wheels match up to your current hubs and you're good to go! I have attached a short video review on this...

• When Should Trailer Tires Be Replaced And Is It Better to Use Higher Load Range Tires
  We typically recommend replacing trailer tires after 7 years, regardless of what kind of condition they appear to be in. On a trailer like yours that wasn't used too much before you bought it the tires are probably in much better shape than most 7 year old trailer tires but it's still a good idea to swap them out for new ones so you continue to have worry-free trips. Going to a higher load range tire can technically lead to less chance of a blow-out, since the main cause for this on trailers...

• Correct Tire Pressure for Carlisle Sport Trail 4.80-8 Trailer Tire
  Although we do not carry Carlisle tires I was able to find the maximum pressure for the 4.80-8 sport trail tire on their site. If you have a load range B tire the correct psi is 60. If you have a load range C tire the correct psi is 90. I recommend verifying this information by looking at the side of your tire. The load range should be on the side along with the max psi. Since these are trailer tires you always want them inflated to the max psi. I have attached a helpful article on trailer...

• Proper Inflation of # AM30153 Kenda 5.70-8 Tire on Pop Up Camper
  Because the tire's load capacity is tested at full pressure, you always want to keep your trailer tires fully inflated to the pressure listed on the tire's sidewall. The only exception to this is the Goodyear Endurance, which lists acceptable load ratings at different pressures. The # AM30153 tires you have should be kept at 100 psi as listed on the sidewall. The danger with operating your Kenda tire at a lower pressure is that you'll have an unknown weight rating, which can lead to premature...

This wheel has the right tire size mounted on it and the right bolt pattern, but it has a painted white wheel.

• Tire Recommendations For 4-on-4 Inch Wheels - 4x8 Utility Trailer
  I have a solution for you that will work. Any time you're moving, it's a good idea to make sure your equipment can get the job done, especially over long distances. While all of our available tires in this size are designed for excellent handling at high speeds, the one I'm recommending most is the Kenda # AM30153 tire because it's higher 8-ply rating (Load Range D) allows it support a 900 lbs. maximum load at 100 PSI. This capability will come in handy as you load up that moving trailer....
