Question:

What is the speed rating for this tire? I need a 5.70-8 with 4 lugs that is rated at 81 MPH or higher from eTrailers. Doesnt look like this tire is rated for 81 MPH. TaskMaster has a 4.80-8 rated 81 MPH but I cant find a TaskMaster 5.70-8 on your site, only the TaskMaster 4.80-8.

The Kenda # AM30080 carries a 65 mph speed rating, the same as all the 5.70-8 size tires we carry. You won't find an M (81mph) rated tire until you go up to a 12 inch tire like a 5.30-12 # TTWSF53012C which is 3-1/2 inches larger in diameter which would move the tire 1-3/4 inches closer to the underside of the fender or wheel well. Measure your current wheel well clearance, and subtract 1-3/4 inches. If this leaves 3-4 inches of wheel well/fender clearance you should be okay.

For a compatible wheel with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern, use # AM20140.

I've linked to a product description video for the # TTWSF53012C.
