Question:
I have a 25-foot pontoon on a yacht club trailer with a combined weight of 6400lbs. it has the kenna st145R12 tire on it now. Is there a better tire in a 12-inch that would work better? Please advise.

Expert Reply:
Yacht Club offers both single- and tandem-axle pontoon boat trailers that come equipped with various tire sizes in load ranges C and E. Based on the 6400-lb combined weight information you provided I think you may have their model PTB2425 trailer since according to the Yacht Club website this is the only one specified to use tires in your 12-inch size and with a load range E rating.
The part you reviewed, Kenda S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E, part # AM10140, is rated for a maximum load of 1520-lbs at 80-psi pressure. This is the highest capacity trailer tire we offer in this size.
For reference I have linked two articles concerning trailer tires. One answers frequently-asked questions and the other provides a cross reference for tire sizing.
