Expert Reply:
Hey Don, yes the trailer wheel and tire part # AM30670 that you referenced would work but for an exact replacement that would work better I would recommend the part # AM31202 which is the same size as what you have now, is the preferred radial construction, and has a higher speed rating of 81 mph. It is also a Load Range D which is higher than the LR C that you have now.

Hey Don, how did the Kenda Karrier tire and wheel work out on your boat trailer? It sounds like a solid upgrade from your old setup. Your feedback could help others looking for the same replacement.
