Speed Rating and Weight Capacity of Kenda Tire ST205/75R/14 Load Range C # AM10234

Updated 11/06/2025 | Published 04/01/2019

Question:

Can you confirm the Load Limit, PSI, and Speed rating for Kenda ST205/75R/14 Load Rang C / 6PR tire. I am interested in the tire, but the 60 PSI and 1925 Lbs max load has me scratching my head. Every other 14 inch C load range tire PSI is listed at 50 and max load around 1760lbs. Even its twin the Kenda ST215/75/14 C load is listed at 50 PSI and 1870Lbs. What makes this size Kenda tire so special? As to the speed rating, the current description says 81MPH, but I believe I saw conflicting information between the description and previous answered questions. If I do purchase the tire, I want to make sure the specs and sidewall are correct and not some data entry problem from the manufacturer. Thanks.

Does it ride as soft as the other tire with one at 60 psi and the other at 50 Al’s is the one better with less chance of blowout. What happens if you only put 50 psi in tire that require 60 psi

@RichardM The tire with 60 psi is going to be a little stiffer than one inflated to 50 psi. It's hard to say exactly how different it would be but its's something we wouldn't recommend doing. If you run a tire at a lower psi than it's max rating it will cause the tire to get hotter and also will reduce the weight capacity of it as well.
