Question:

Hi. I am looking at item number AM30820 for my small trailer. It used to be a boat trailer converted into an Atv trailer. My atv specs says it weighs approximately 800 pounds will this tire be good or would you recommend something a little bigger?

There are several things to consider to ensure you get the correct size tires and wheels. With your ATV weighing approximately 800lbs you will also need to account for any additional gear that you may have on your ATV. You will also need to determine the weight of your trailer.

The Kenda Loadstar 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" White Wheel # AM30820 has a weight capacity of 1,045lbs load range C per tire. That will put the maximum the trailer can weigh with the ATV at 2,090lbs based on the wheels and tires. If it has a 2,000lb axle than the max is 2,000lbs.

The same size tire and wheel is available in a load range B # AM30740 (840lbs per tire) and load range D # AM30859 (1,250lbs per tire).
