Trailer Tire Recommendation for 2017 Forest River Toy Hauler

Most trailer tires aren't rated for 80 mph plus speeds. I'd be willing to bet that your tires are failing from exceeding the speed rating or they are underinflated. The Kenda tire part #AM10303 has the highest trailer tire speed rating we…

The ST225/75R15 Kenda Karrier #AM10303 Load Range E tire that you referenced does have a Speed Rating of M (81 mph). Please note that you will want to keep the cold psi rating at 80 psi to achieve the 2,830 lbs max load rating. This will also allow…

Before switching to a higher load rated tire, like a load range E, you will want to check the weight capacity on your trailer wheels. If you have a steel wheel, the capacity should be stamped on the backside lip of the wheel. If you have an alloy…
