Loadstar ST205/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire - Load Range C

See what our Experts say about this Kenda Trailer Tires and Wheels

• Difference Between ST205/75D15 and ST205/75R15 Size Tires
  The difference between a D15 tire and an R15 tire is the construction. The D denotes that it's a bias tire and the R is for a radial tire. Which is best for you depends on the type of terrain you're towing the trailer on because bias tires have a thicker sidewall making them better for off-road travel where radials run cooler and have better ground contact making them ideal for highway use. Among our selection if you're going with a bias tire I recommend Kenda # AM1ST92. It's the same...

• Recommended Replacement Tires for 7.00-15 LT Tires on 5x8 Trailer
  Your 7.00-15 tires are on their last leg. I don't recommend using cracked tires as they can blowout without any further notice.

• Troubleshooting Inside Sidewall Premature Wear on Tandem Axle Utility Trailer Tires
  The axles on your trailer should not be sliding side to side enough for you to notice. There may be the slightest of side to side motion due to the various suspension components, but the majority of the motion will be up and down. If your axles are moving side to side enough that you notice then you need to get your trailer to a shop as soon as possible and get your suspension checked out. If the inside sidewall of your tires are wearing down quicker than the rest of your tires then your...

• What Causes One Trailer Tire To Wear Faster Than the Others On a Tandem Axle Trailer
  There are a number of issues that can cause irregular tire wear but generally this would be the tire wearing more on one side, not necessarily that the entire tire has worn faster than the others. If the latter is true then this could be an issue with the amount of air you have in each tire or the way the trailer is loaded perhaps. If you were using a different type of tire such as one with a different ply or load range then that could cause this issue as well. That said, it's rather...

• Why Does One Trailer Tire Wear More in the Middle than the Others
  It looks like the center of the tire has worn faster than the outer edges which is a tell tale sign that it has been overinflated or it is a different load range than the rest. If the leaf spring was worn more so for that particular side of the axle then this could be an issue as well but I would be willing to bet it was overinflated. If you can let me know what size tires are on your trailer I would be happy to make some recommendations but if not I have attached a list of our options...

• Recommending Trailer Tires with a C Load Rating for 2015 Keystone Hideout
  It is possible to replace your OEM tires and wheels as long as the wheel's bolt pattern matches and you have room for the larger tires in the wheel wells; to help with this I have attached an article on determining bolt pattern for you. If this criteria is met, the tire I recommend with the specs you are looking for is the Loadstar ST205/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire, # AM1ST92. This tire is six-ply rated, has a C load-range rating and a maximum load capacity of 1,820 lbs at 50 psi. These tires...

• Excessive Wear on Inner and Outer Edges of Tires that are Not Under Inflated
  Having the center of the tire tread wear more than the edges is typically a sign that the tires have been over inflated. Since you've mentioned that the tires are correctly inflated, we'll need to look elsewhere. This can also be caused by the tires being overloaded, but it's more likely been caused by worn suspension components. Make sure all the hardware on your suspension is still tight. Take a look at the shackle straps, the holes that the bolts pass through should be round, not elliptical...

• Is There a 15" Silver Spoke Wheel Available With a 205/75D15 Trailer Tire Mounted?
  Currently we have the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # DEX34FR available separately. You would need to have the ST205/75R15 # AM1ST92 mounted at a service center or in your own garage if you are experienced with mounting tires on wheels.

• Can Load Range C ST205/75R14 Tires on Trailer be Replaced with Load Range D Tires
  You can absolutely change to an ST205/75R14 tire that has a Load Range D, such as the excellent Westlake Radial Trailer Tire # 274-000012, on your trailer. This tire will have a maximum load of 2,040 pounds at 65 psi like you mentioned. The higher load range tire will fit your existing wheel without causing any harm to it or the trailer. You will just want to make sure that the valve stem on your wheels are rated for up to 65 psi, which they most likely are. I have attached a short video...

• Availability of Dexter Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel AM20443 with Pre-Mounted Tire
  We do have the Dexter Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20443 available by itself but it is not currently available with an ST205/75D15 tire pre-mounted. For a ST205/75D15 tire the Kenda Loadstar Bias Trailer Tire # AM1ST92 will work great and fit the Dexter wheel perfectly. It features a maximum load of 1,820 pounds at 50 psi and an excellent speed rating of 81 mph. Since it sounds like you are replacing the tires anyway I recommend considering an upgrade to radial tires instead of the...

• After How Many Years Should Trailer Tires Be Replaced
  Even when stored in the somewhat controlled environment of a garage, tires are still subject to dry rot and flat spotting. Even if the tire tread has plenty of depth left and you can't see any cracking with the naked eye, the generally accepted rule of thumb states that trailer tires should be replaced after about 6 or 7 years. Yours are about twice that age. I'd highly recommend you replace the tires. I'd recommend going with a 205/75R-15 tires in load range C like part # TTWTRTM2057515C....

• Troubleshooting Trailer Tire Wear on Insides and Outsides When Not Overloaded and Proper Inflation
  Typically when the outsides of a tire are wearing and it's not being overloaded the trailer or vehicle needs to have an alignment done. Best option is to take the trailer to an alignment shop and have them address.

• Troubleshooting Uneven Tire Wear On Trailer
  Typically, when a tire displays excessive wear on the inside of the tread (closest to the trailer), it means that the trailer is consistently being overloaded. When the trailer carries more weight than the axle is rated for, the trailer wheels can bow as shown in the diagram I provided. Broken or excessively worn suspension components can cause this as well. Examine the components like the leaf springs and shackle links and replace if necessary. You will also want to make sure that your...

• What Might Cause Trailer Tire Wear Only On Outside of Passenger Side
  It sounds like an issue with either the spindle or the axle of the trailer. Your best option will be to find a local shop that can do trailer alignments and let them take a look at it. It's possible the trailer could have been ran up against a curb on the right side of the trailer which could have bent something. Another possibility is the suspension being damaged by something similar.

• Matching Trailer Tire Capacity with Wheel Capacity to Reach Maximum Tire Capacity
  Any given tire will fit a range of wheel widths but that doesn't mean they all will carry the same rating. To achieve the maximum capacity of a given tire the wheel will need to meet or exceed the tire's capacity. Also, for any given tire size there are different load ranges with different capacities. For example tire # AM1ST92 is also a 205/75-15 but it is a load range C (whereas the one above is a load range D) and it is rated for 1,820 pounds. With a couple of exceptions, 15x5 inch...

• Will a Radial 205/75R15 Trailer Tire Fit On The Wheel of a Bias ST205/75D15 Trailer Tire?
  You should not have an issue installing a ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10245 in place of a ST205/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire # AM1ST92. You will want to verify you do have a compatible wheel size to ensure there are no fitment issues. These particular tires will both fit a 15" wheel with a width of 5" to 6-1/2". You should be able to find your wheel size stamped inside your wheel but will most likely have to remove the wheel from the trailer to find the marking in the wheel.

• Replacement Tire Recommendation for ST205/75D15 Tire with Load Range of C

Attached are review videos of each part...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Tire Cupping on Inside of Tire
  Cupping is usually caused by a bad alignment or suspension that is worn out and bouncing its way down the highway. Since you had suspension components go out while traveling I would be willing to bed that something got bent or pulled out of alignment during that incident. Best option will be to take the trailer to a shop that can do trailer alignments and have them get you straightened out (pun intended).

• Troubleshooting Wear on Outsides of Trailer Tires
  Typically, when the outside edges of a tire are showing wear its because the tires are under-inflated. The solution is to inflate the tires to the maximum pressure listed on the sidewall in this situation. Check the suspension for worn out components or holes that are egg-shaped instead of round where the suspension components come together. Rusty components won't necessarily hurt the way the tires wear, but you should still check them. Trailer axles have a bow built into them so that...

• Troubleshooting Premature Trailer Tire Wear
  The first place I would look is at the suspension components of your trailer. Worn out suspension can cause tires to wear strange. You could jack up your trailer (use jackstands) and get underneath your trailer and see if you can find any movement in your suspension components. While the trailer is jacked up also try and spin the wheels of the trailer. They should spin freely by hand but you should feel a light drag from the brake assemblies. If this drag isn't present the assemblies might...

• Comparing Bias and Radial Tire Measurements on 1956 Zollinger Vakashunette Trailer
  The section width and outer diameter will be similar on the same size tire whether it is bias ply or radial. Some of the variation comes from the design and the manufacturer. If you compare the Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10244 to the Loadstar ST205/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire # AM1ST92, the radial is slightly wider but shorter. Still, there is only a difference of .4" in width and .1" in height. If you have so little clearance that they are rubbing you will need to get a...

• Trailer Tires Excessively Wearing on Outside of Tread
  Are you speaking of the trailer tires or the tires on your tow vehicle? Typically, trailer tires should be kept inflated to the maximum pressure listed on the tire's sidewall. An under inflated tire will typically have wear at the inner and outer edges, but it's recommended to fully inflate the tires to remove one possible cause. Other factors that could cause the wear you describe are excessive sway, a damaged axle or suspension components or tire scrub. I'd suspect suspension damage...

• Tire Recommendation for Trailer to Replace 235/75-15
  The size you listed is not a trailer tire size so you will want to get them off there as soon as you can and install ST rated tires that are designed for trailer use. The closest tire size to what you have that is trailer rated is 225/75-15. For a tire you would want the Taskmaster tire # TTWTRTM2257515D. What's great about this tire is that unlike most trailer tires it is rated for up to 81 mph. Most trailer tires are only rated for 65 mph. These have way more capacity than you would...
