Question:

What is the top speed for Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10inch Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range E? Is there a 10inch tire with a higher speed rating? Tandem axle carrying 6,000lbs.

The Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire # AM3H490 that you referenced has the standard trailer tire speed rating of 87 miles per hour. There are some trailer tires that have higher speed ratings, but none of them are in the 10 inch rim size since that is a smaller size.

I don't understand your comment: "The Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire # AM3H490 that you referenced has the standard trailer tire speed rating of 65 miles per hour. There are some trailer tires that have higher speed ratings, but none of them are in the 10 inch rim size since that is a smaller size." According to your spec sheet for that tire and wheel, the top speed is 87mph. Can you clarify your 65mph recommendation?

@MD I apologize for confusion. The info in this answer was written several years ago and the speed rating for this tire has been increased since then. It is 87 MPH.
