Question:
I am picking a boat up that’s a gift from my father in law out of state and I need to replace the wheels and tires. It’s a light aluminum Jon boat but I’ll be coming over 1000 miles and through areas with speed limits exceeding 80, I need a 5.3-12 what tires and wheel combo would you recommend?

Hey Zack,
Because of the speed rating you're looking for you'll be limited to the Taskmaster # TA69QR (Silver) or # TA79QR (White) if you have a 4 on 4 wheel bolt pattern. If you have a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern then you'll need the # TT53012C and would have to pick wheels like the # AM20132 separately and have them mounted. Each of these options has speed rating M (81mph) and would be the highest speed rating we currently offer under the 5.30-12 tire size.

Hey Zack, how did the trip go with the new wheels and tires for your Jon boat trailer? Those Taskmaster options should have handled the higher speeds well. Knowing how they performed could help others planning long hauls like yours.
