Published 03/06/2014
Question:
What is the speed rating of the 205-75/14 tire? Dont see that spec on your website.
asked by: Joe N
Expert Reply:
Trailer tire # AM10235 is rated for 81 miles per hour maximum. Occasionally going above 81 miles an hour is not a big deal but you would not run it consistently over its speed rating.
The issue is that trailer tires are built with a thicker side wall to handle more vertical load. This thicker side wall also means that the tire can generate more heat. Higher speeds create even more heat. You will want to avoid doing anything that will increase the amount of heat the tire can potentially generate including overloading the tires, under inflation, and excessive speed.
