When you say Kenda Loadstar K353 12", I believe you are referring to the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 4.80-12 part # AM10062 or Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 5.30-12 part # AM10066. Both of these Kenda K353 Bias trailer tires are rated for 65 MPH.

Answer 10

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…
