You can change the current tires on the Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G to a Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire # TT48012C for a higher speed rating. You can mount these on your current wheels as well.

The tires on the Malone trailer are rated for 70 MPH, while the Taskmaster tires are speed rated for 81 MPH. Both tires are load range C so there are no concerns with changes in weight or size.
