Helpful Expert Reply:
Axle's like the etrailer Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 60" Long - 2,200 lbs item # e22GR do not have speed ratings. The speed rating comes from other components like the wheels and tires.
A great wheel and tire set for the etrailer axle you were looking at is the Kenda Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Black Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR C item # AM32131. This combo has a speed rating of M which means it can go up to 81 mph.
