Question:
This is the wheel/tire combo suggested. However, I need to have a high speed rating of 80mph. Is this still the right choice? Or do yall have something else?

Expert Reply:
The wheels you have, while not common, are definitely a size used on trailers. These are 9" wheels that have a rim width of 4-1/2". When compared to a fairly common 8" wheel with a width of 3-3/4" or a 10" wheel with a width of 6" the size of your current wheels isn't anything unusual.
I would recommend sticking with the wheels you have now. Although I don't know how many axles you have or the specific hubs on the trailer, more than likely they have enough capacity unless someone added hubs that don't correspond to your axle capacity which is unlikely. If you need to replace your tires, we have the # AM10040 which are 6.90/6.00-9 tires with a capacity of 1,298 lbs at 60 psi.
