Hello Rogelio,
Thank you for the information, I was able to find the tire and wheel combo you bought, it is a 12" x 4" wheel. The Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # AM10140 is going to be your best fit, and it was the one you were looking at.
This tire is going to give you a maximum load capacity of 1,520 lbs at 80 psi, and has a speed rating M of 81 MPH.
What kind for trailer are you putting these on that you needed to bump up the load rating?
