A trailer tire/wheel like the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10-inch Galvanized Wheel # AM3H490 will deliver mileage based on how it is used. Trailer tires are not specifically rated for mileage since they can be used in such varying ways, not all of them good. Tires ARE rated for load capacity, so many pounds of carrying capacity for a specific inflation pressure, and for speed on the highway, which is always 65-mph unless specifically stated otherwise. This tire has a speed rating of 65-mph maximum.

A trailer tire that is always kept to the correct cold inflation pressure, used within its rated weight carrying capacity and installed on a trailer whose axle and suspension are in good working order, will typically deliver several years of service.

The tire portion of this item carries a limited 2-year warranty that is NOT restricted by mileage. So in other words the tire's 2-year warranty holds even if you have driven 10,000 miles for example AS LONG AS the remaining tread depth is at least 2/32nds of an inch.

Trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum psi pressure noted on the tire sidewall; it is never appropriate to over- or under-inflate a trailer tire.
