The specs for the tire on the Kenda # AM30780 combo and Taskmaster tire # TTWSF53012C are basically the same except for the speed rating. One difference is the Taskmaster has a speed rating of 81 mph which is higher than many trailer tires. The Kenda doesn't list an actual speed rating just that it's a high speed tire which means we are to assume it to be 65 mph. The Kenda comes pre-mounted on a wheel and has a 5 year warranty. The Taskmaster could be mounted onto a wheel of your choice at your local shop since it is only the tire without a wheel. The Taskmaster comes with a 2-year warranty.
