Continental Trailer Tires

Looks like there's another option for trailer tires. One nice thing is they're rated for 75mph.

  • Commercial tire max speed ratings are at max tire load. The kmax tire would be 62mph at 6000lbs per tire.

    Cummins12v - your spell Czech got ya...
  • Wow, if GY has that little faith in their product it would be crazy to buy them!
  • Not sure why they only have 62 max. Looks like one heck of a trailer tire.

    "KMAX T Tires (139823740) by GOODYEAR®. 245/70R17.5, Speed Index 62 mph, Max Load 6008 lbs, Tire Weight 76 lbs. Season: All Season. Type: Commercial (HD).

  • GY endurance are rated for 87 MPH,
    I've never heard of ANY tire rated for only 62 - maybe you meant 65?
  • Maybe, but it looks like their price is right up there with the GY G114s
  • A friend install them on his 24k Mobile Suites. So far so good.

    The GY's looked like good tires but he didn't want to stay at 62mph towing I guess.

    The tech IMHO lifted too far inboard on the axle. He also went one lug to the next when torquing instead of a kris cross pattern.

    They are made in the Chez Republic, better than Communist China I spoze.

    Those tires are a HUGE overkill for that Toyhauler IMHO.
