Best Trailer Tire for 12 inch Rim with Higher Speed Rating
Updated 08/06/2019 | Published 08/05/2019 >
Question:
I have a 2009 Rockwood Freedom 1640 Ltd. It currently has 145 R12 C tires on it. Can you tell me what other size tires it can handle? Also if I can only go back with what is on it what is the load rating and the maximum speed? Thanks!

If you are looking for a tire size that will fit your current wheels and trailer well and will have a higher speed rating the tire you want is the Taskmaster 4.80R12 part # TT48012C which has an 81 mph speed rating and has a weight capacity of 990 lbs at 90 psi. In this tire range size there really isn't any other option that has this high of a speed rating so this is best option.
I attached a review video for more info on this as well.
