Radial Tires vs. Bias Tires

Radial tire vs bias tire graphic

Radial ply tires are designed for trailers that are towed on the highway. The cords on a radial tire are positioned at a 90-degree angle to the direction of travel so that they lay across the width of the tire from wheel lip to wheel lip. This construction prevents the cords from rubbing against one another when the tire flexes, unlike the cords on a bias ply tire. As a result, radial tires have less rolling resistance and heat buildup, which leads to a longer tread life and improved steering at higher speeds.

No issues at all. I use my trailer at least 2x monthly for hauling Off-road jeeps to and from the trails 20K+ lbs.



by:

Easy to order and products were as adve rtised.



by:

Tire was clearly described and purchase protcol was very good. Price was better than average and included free shipping. Shipped quickly and arrived when promised. Used to replace an inferior tire that the manufacturer installs on a 12,500 lb. 5th wheel. Just the looks of this tire mounted and installed on the 5th wheel shows it should be a good tire.



by:

I needed new tries for my 5th wheel trailer that provided a heavier load limit more durable tire than the stock tires that came on the trailer. I selected the Karrier ST 235/85R16 as it met the list of item I was looking for in a tire.
Etrailer was great to deal with. Their web site was user friendly and their service was a pleasurable experience. Etrailer made shipment of the tires the same day I placed the order, and I received them in 5 days. I will look at etrailer for future purchases of my trailer needs!

Jerry how are those Karrier tires? any trouble in the past 3 years? Still running them? How many miles on them?



by:

These tires are outstanding. Our trailers are 16,000 gvw and they hold up better than anything previous.



by:

Needed tires for my trailer and based on previous experience I knew of only one place to go ,ETrailer.com. Great prices on great product and fast shipping . I was notified of inventory and shipping and came home today to find my tires in my driveway ,my only complaint is now I have to get to work changing my tires ! Always pleased with ETrailer.com

These tires have held up well I tow this trailer about 25k doing lawn care . I have found that trailer tires are damaged before they wear out although these still have a reasonable amount of tread left and will replace them with same product if available

Good product, super job of delivery.
Very
fair pricing. Will continue to order from etrailer

Tires are fine. As advertised.

I was asked to rate these tires a couple of weeks after I bought them. Heck I hadn't even had them mounted on the rims yet. I deleted that e-mail. I refuse to recommend any product until I actually have had a chance to use it. Personally I use "recommendations" from other users to help me make up my mind on purchasing products I know little about. So I feel it is important to evaluate a product honestly as I can to help others to make a decision. Back to what I think about AM10501--- They are three times the quality of tires that came from the factory on my 14,000 pound 5th wheel camper. We have been on 1 extended road trip, and several shorter (under 200 miles) trips. And thank God no more blow outs. The 2 blow outs I had before I bought these tires cost upwards of $3500 to repair the damage the tire caused. So avoiding additional blow outs was my main objective, and here a year later, I'm happy to say, these tires and etrailer's help in choosing them has been a success.



by:

I had a fairly lengthy discussion with you about the age of the tires I was going to order. I asked if there was any way to check the age before ordering and/or shipping. You assured me that you had a fairly rapid turnover of your tire stock and the tires would be fairly new. You even offered to put in a request to ship the newest on hand. I was very pleased with my order from you over 7 years ago. In that order, the whole set of 5 tires were less than 3 months old. I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I was to receive this most recent order. 3 of the tires were a year plus 3 months old and the other 2 were just shy of a year old. I mentioned how you never wear out the tread on trailer tires. They just get old and start to crack and fall apart. Now I'm starting with a set of supposedly "new" tires that are already well over a year old. VERY VERY DISSATISFIED!!!

Its not unheard of for tires to arrive at our location that were manufactured a year or so before we receive them. The tires are manufactured overseas. After they are manufactured, they sit in a warehouse for a period of time until theyre packed in a shipping container and ultimately loaded on a container ship and shipped to the US. The trip here and entry through US Customs can take more than a month or more. The tires then sit in a warehouse in the US until we order and receive them. Tires that are stored in a warehouse under controlled conditions dont age or dry rot like tires that are exposed to the elements and UV radiation do. The fact that your tires were around a year old when you received them will not have any effect on their lifespan or future durability. They should be good until the tread wears out or up to 6-7 years whichever comes first assuming they are not stored in direct sunlight, not overloaded, are kept properly inflated and their speed rating isnt being exceeded.



by:

This is the second time I have purchased tires from Etrailer. The tires meet all my expectations. Etrailer's pricing and service is outstanding.

Excellent tire at a great price. I will make future purchases from etrailer!



by:

On my second set of these tires....no problems. Got the heavier tires F rated because of the weight (14,000) of my 5th wheel. I will continue to use the Kenda tires for our trailer. Very happy with the service of etrailer, price and performance.



by:

These tires are a higher PR rated tire which is why I bought these to begin with. However, the tread itself is not rated for any extra weight and after only 1 year, tire is worn down. So maybe a 5 star rating for the PR rating and for holding itself together, but 0 stars for the tread design. The weight that I'm hauling is 6360 per axle (2 tires). To this date I have not yet found a low price tire that can handle higher loads without issues. Will be switching to a more commercial looking tread tire...



by:

These tires came shortly after I ordered them. I'm getting the 5th wheel ready for our yearly trip out west, and am excited about the "F" load rating of these tires. I'll be able to head west without the worry of will these tires be able to handle the trip. Good looking tire, great tread design... all around well built tire. As always etrailer was prompt with their delivery and all around great service. Thanks!



by:

The service and the product were both great. I ordered F load range tires to replace E load range on My 5th wheel trailer. Easy to order. Arrived quickly. I will use etrailer again.



by:

I have mixed feelings. As far as e-trailer (and Lisa their representative), you could not ask for anything better! The tire on the other hand, I think I'll hold my opinion. I ordered 5 of these tires in 2017. Was mounted and balanced on a 35 foot 5th wheel camper. I also bought a tire pressure/temperature monitor to assure I always had the 110 pound pressure recommended . Never drove over 65 miles per hour. Had only about 2000 miles on these tires and still on last trip one of them blew out. Luckily no damage to camper and I was only about 3 miles from making it home. God was with me, but I bought these tires (and other equipment) to avoid ever having these problems again (at least for a few thousand miles).



by:

we had these tires mounted on our triple axle trailer , then headed off on a 7300 mile trip across the Country . Love them , tracked straight and true . Not one issue .
Thanks



by:

I would have liked the same tire in load range E but it was not available thru you. It is what is on the trailer I bought this as a spare.



by:

It was very simple working with etrailer. The tires for our gooseneck horse trailer were exactly what we needed and ordered and they arrived even earlier than promised. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with etrailer again.



by:

Noah did a great job providing information on my tire purchase. The tires are going on my Big Country fifth wheel. Noah recommended the correct tire with an extra load rating. The tires were delivered promptly. The pricing was also competitive . thankyou



by:

Ordered 4 HD trailer tires, delivered from EARTH CITY MO to Ellensburg wa in 6 days. Great price, very satisfied, will do more business with etrailer. Thanks Mike S.



by:

Tires were ordered 18 August received 20 August 1:30 pm just mounted and not on trailer as of yet . Previous set did OK although I trashed one late Wednesday evening.



by:

Excellent tire! Very hard to find a 16" F range tire. This one is perfect!



by:

The tires arrived when they said that they would. Keep us informed all the way even after we got our delivery. I would definitely do business with this company again.



by:

We only have 4000 miles on them so far, but they are wearing very well to this point.

  • Deciphering Date Code on Tire
    A tire date code typically begins with the letters 'DOT', which indicates that the tire meets the minimum Department Of Transportation standards for tires sold in the US. The last 4 digits of the code should be all numbers, with the first two indicating which week of the year and the second two digits indicate the year the tire was constructed. For instance, if the last 4 digits were 4216, it would mean that the tire was manufactured in the 42nd week of 2016. I ran the code you provided...

  • Can a Passenger Vehicle Tire be Installed on a Trailer
    You definitely should not put a passenger vehicle on a trailer as they are not designed for the vertical loads that trailers typically see. Whether that's illegal will be up to your local DOT, but most trailer shops with any integrity will straight up refuse to install a passenger vehicle tire on a trailer wheel since it's not safe and they wouldn't want the liability. All the tires we offer are safe for use on a trailer. If you can get me what size you need I can pick you out best option....

  • Can ST235/80R16 Trailer Tires be Replaced with ST235/85R16
    You shouldn't have any problems switching to the slightly larger ST235/85R16 tire but you would need to replace all of the tires at once. Having different sized tires on a trailer (even if the size difference is small) will drastically speed up tread wear and may lead to damage. The new tire will be just about an inch larger in diameter/height and will have the same width as your existing ST235/80R16. They will fit your existing wheels without an issue. You will just want to make sure...

  • Will Upgrading to 17.5" Trailer Wheels Increase Ride Height
    No, switching from a 16" wheel to a 17.5" wheel will not increase ride height. This really comes down to size as there are different size tires for each of these wheel options. If we take the largest tire size we offer for each, 235/85-16 like Karrier part # AM10501 and 215/75-17.5 like Provider part # TTWP15175, the 235/85 measures 31.6" diameter and the 215/75 measures 30.2" so you'll actually be losing about .7" in height.

  • Recommended Replacement 235/85-16 Tires for 16,000 lb Tandem Axle 5th Wheel Trailer
    For your 2011 Blue Ridge 3525 5th wheel, I recommend the Kenda Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range F # AM10501 as your tire replacements. These tires are rated for 3,960 lbs at 110 psi.. They are rated for speeds up to 81 mph and come with a 2-warranty. I've attached a video and video to assist further.

  • Replacement Tire Recommendation for a 2008 Glacier Bay Fifth Wheel that Weighs 15,000 lbs
    A couple things I should mention first...Trailer tires should always be inflated to their max psi. Failure to do so will decrease the capacity of the tire and will cause heat to build up. Also, for MOST rim applications the PSI rating is based on the valve stem used and not the actual rim. As long as you go with a high enough rated tire for the total weight of your trailer and keep them inflated to their max PSI you would be just fine.

  • Is It Safe To Use Underrated Trailer Tires On A 2021 Forest River Impression?
    Your tires aren't really underrated, remember that a portion (around 15 to 20% on a 5th wheel) of the trailer weight will be on the tow vehicle, so technically your tires aren't really under-rated. A lot of 5th wheels come with tires rated for trailer weight minus tongue weight from the factory. That being said it's still not a horrible idea to upgrade your tires, so what I'd recommend checking out is something like theKarrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10501 which has a maximum...

  • Trailer Tires for a 17,000 Pound, 45 Foot Horse Trailer with Living Quarters
    If the trailer has three 8K Dexter axles on it then you will want to have tires that combined meet the 24,000 pound capacity. You didn't mention the size tires you have now but you were looking at # AM10501 which is a 235/85-16 rated for 3,960 pounds at 110 psi. Six of these tires would have a capacity of 23,760 pounds which is very close to that 24,000 pound combined axle capacity and would work fine if the trailer weighs 17,000 pounds.

These Westlake tires have great traction and a high level of durability. They also come with a 5-year warranty and 2 years of complimentary roadside assistance.

  • Troubleshooting Tire Blowouts on Toy Hauler Trailer
    Everything that you described sounds normal so the only way that you'd be having blowouts it if you are exceeding the max speed limit, the weight capacity, or have an incorrect psi (according to the sidewall of the tire). The psi rating of a tire will naturally increase some during travel due to the friction from the road. Seeing 8 - 9 psi greater than what the tires are at when they are cold is completely normal. You definitely can upgrade your tires to a load range F like the Karrier...

  • Trailer Tires Keep Blowing On a 14,000 Pound 5th Wheel Trailer
    Trailer tires should always, always, always be inflated to the maximum psi as indicated on the tire. If they are under inflated it will cause them to generate excessive heat and fail. Trailer tires are built with a thicker sidewall compared to passenger vehicle tires. If under inflated, that thicker sidewall can generate excessive heat. Another possible issue that can lead to tire failure is overloading. That, combined with under inflated tires can lead to catastrophic failure. Radial...

  • Troubleshooting Causes for Repeat Tire Failure on 24-Foot Enclosed Trailer
    The root cause of trailer tire failure, apart from outright damage from bad roads or debris, is usually heat, but that heat can come about from several different causes. Excess heat in either radial or bias ply tires can arise from incorrect inflation pressure (either too high or too low), overloading the tire beyond its rated weight capacity or by driving it faster than intended. In some cases a misaligned axle or trailer suspension could increase chances for one of these failures by causing...

  • How to Determine when a Trailer Tire was Built
    On a tire's sidewall there will be a 4-digit date code. For example if it is 3215 that means that the tire was made in the 32nd week of 2015. I have included a picture showing a date code on a tire. In the picture that tire was built in the 25th week of 2011 so its an older picture. Also the date code may not be on both sides of the tire so if you do not see it on one sidewall it will be on the other side.

    Normally, you will want to get the tires that are recommended by the trailer manufacturer. But if you go to a larger size then make sure there is room above AND behind the existing tires. A wider tire could end up rubbing the frame or another component. I did some research on a Uniroyal 245/75-16 load range E tire and found that it is rated for 3,042 pounds. So 4 of them would have a capacity of 12,168 pounds, less than the 12,400 pound capacity you have stated. Going with a higher capacity...

  • Can I Use Two Different Size Tires on my 5th Wheel Trailer
    So I'll start this off by saying that your tires have 0.9" difference between the two, and while it might not seem like a huge difference it may cause some issues. I would also think that since the front axle normally carries a bit more of the load, that putting the larger 235/85r16 tire in front would be the way to go with this. It's generally not recommended that tires of different sizes are used in these types of applications. Usually the biggest concern comes with the difference in...

    LT does indicate light truck which are sometimes found on trailers and RVs. You can switch to an ST235/85R16, # AM10501, which is rated for 3,960 pounds at 110 psi. As an ST (special trailer) tire, you will always need to inflate them to the maximum psi indicated on the tire. This is because trailer tires have a thicker sidewall than passenger vehicle tires to handle more vertical load. And if they are under inflated, due to the thicker sidewall they will generate excessive heat which...

  • Should I Run Maximum PSI Rating on Trailer Tires Even When Carrying Lighter Load
    Yes, you always want to have the tires on the trailer at maximum PSI rating of that tire, in your case, 95 PSI. Anytime you run a lower PSI, it significantly reduces the load carrying capacity of the tire. If you were to run a lower PSI, the thicker sidewall of trailer tires would cause the tires to heat up quicker and will reduce the life of the tires. I have linked and FAQ on tires that you may find as a good reference.

    If one of the four tires on your trailer is older than the other three, or of a different type, size or load range rating that could explain the higher wear on it. It is always best to use identical tires all around. Same type, bias or radial; same size, same load range.

    If the tire is the same size and has a weight rating high enough for the weight of your trailer it would work fine as a spare for the time being. It sounds like it may have a lighter Load Range due to the pressure rating difference. Ideally you would put the exact same tire back on your trailer, but we realize that's not always possible like in your situation. I would just be a bit more cautious for the time being, but you should be just fine.

The dimension that differs between these two tires is their overall diameter when they are inflated to their rated pressures.

    Uneven trailer tire wear can result from incorrect air pressure, a misaligned trailer suspension, a damaged axle or hub or from use of an axle that is rated too high or too low for the trailer's actual weight. Axles have an upward bend in them, so that once they are loaded up near their rated capacity they can flatten out and be straight when under load. If your axle does not have enough weight on it to flatten it out, then the outside edges of the tires will make more contact with the...
