The Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire and 12 Inch Galvanized Wheel Combo # AM30590 offers a maximum load capacity of 785 pounds when the tire is inflated to 60 psi.

This means that a single tire can support up to 785 pound when properly inflated. If your trailer is a single axle trailer, two of the # AM30590 tire and wheel combos will offer a maximum load capacity of 1,570 pounds for the trailer. If it is a dual axle trailer, 4 of these wheels will offer 3,140 pounds of maximum load capacity.

It is important to keep the trailer tires inflated to the maximum psi listed on their sidewall in order to maintain the load capacity and so the tires perform best. For the # AM30590 tire, this is 60 psi.
