Hi Chuck; we do sell a replacement tire for this setup. The tire that comes with the # AM30620 is the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10062. If you need a replacement valve stem to go with it then you can use the # AM20907.

I just want to make 100% sure this is the right tire. Does the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire (AM10062) have the "HIGH SPEED". mark on it? I need it for highway travel and don't see the mark in the picture. Cheers! -Chuck

@ChuckM this is the tire that comes with our # AM30620 but it only has the standard rating of 65 mph. For a tire with a higher speed rating I recommend switching to the Taskmaster 4.80R12 # TT48012C. This is a radial tire so it will have much better highway performance. The speed rating is M for 81 mph.
