Hey Ruby, thanks for reaching out!
I recommend the Kenda Loadstar KR25 over the Atturo brand because the KR25 has a higher speed rating of up to 81 mph, and it's a proven tire brand name. I've been working at etrailer for almost 8 years now and I can honestly say I've never heard of the Atturo brand so either they are really new or they aren't known well enough to be compared to much. Either way, the Kenda KR25 will give you the most peace of mind.
We have the KR25 mounted on a 5 lug wheels as the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 # AM31199DX, but this is a Load Range D (1,220 lbs at 65 psi). If you are wanting the higher rated Load Range E (1,520 lbs at 80 psi) then you'll need the tire as part # AM10140 along with a wheel like the Dexstar # AM20132. We don't have the Load Range E pre-mounted, but you'll be able to take it to a tire shop and they can mount it easily for you.
