• Troubleshooting Trailer Tire Wear on Outer Tread
  The first and easiest thing to check is to make sure the tire is inflated properly. If the tire is under-inflated, the sides of the tire tread will wear quickly. The recommended psi should be listed on the sidewall of the tire. It is odd that your tire is wearing on the outer portion of the tread. When abnormal tire wear is a problem, it is more common on the center tread or inner tread caused by over inflation and overloading. If your tires are inflated properly or you continue to have...

• How Many Plies are in an 8 Ply Rated Bias Trailer Tire 225/75D15 # AM1ST96
  Sometimes the number of plies is indicated on the tire sidewall. in this case, the only ply information that is on this tire is that it has an 8 ply rating and that they are nylon. because of the strength of today's materials, there may not be 8 plies. This is because the materials used today can carry more weight and less plies are needed. The ply count does not actually matter. You want to go by the load capacity of a tire. For # AM1ST96 the capacity is 2,540 pounds at 65 psi. Trailer...

• What Are The Alpha-Numerical Codes On ST Tires?
  No. The 117/112 is not the psi. It is the load index. The L is the speed rating of 75 mph. The load index is the rated load capacity for single and then dual tires on each side of the axle. 117=2833 lbs. The maximum psi should be listed on the tire sidewall and is also the recommended psi for the tires to operate. For instance the Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM1ST96 is similiar and rated for 65 psi max.

• Can 235/80-16 Size Tire with 80 psi on Sidewall be Run at 70 psi Instead
  When it comes to trailer tires you always need to have them filled to the psi rating found on the sidewall. Your 235/80-16 size tire, like part # LHWL401 on our site, has been tested for the specific weight capacity and speed rating at 80 psi and anything that is higher or lower will mean that the weight capacity and speed ratings are unknown. This can result in blowouts and premature wear on your tires. Unless Les Schwab has a special reason, and they have verified from the manufacturer...

• Is It Normal for Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire to Have Pinholes in Sidewall
  Completely understandable, although I will say that's very unusual for the Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire # AM1ST96 since the Kenda brand is a very reliable brand. If you're still within the warranty time-frame I do recommend pursuing that first, but if not then you can either replace it with the same tire knowing that the pin holes won't be present in a replacement, or you can go with this tire instead: - Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # TR225LRE The...

• Replacement Trailer Tires for Boat Trailer with Tire Size P215/75R15
  You don't have much fender clearance currently so I would go with the smaller tire size of 205/75-15 as it will work well and also not cause fender issues. The big difference between this size and the 225/75 size is the outer diameter. The 205 is 27.1 inches overall and the 225 is 28.4 inches. In the tire size you need the # TR20515D would be your best option. This is a Taskmaster Provider trailer tire with speed rating of 81 mph that would work great on your boat trailer. Your current...

• Can a Different Tire Size be Used in Place of a 7.00-15 Tire
  Size 7.00-15 is actually a currently used tire size. It is a light truck tire. Light truck tires are sometimes used on RVs and trailers (as long as the LT is at the end of the size). It is a bias ply tire. It is rated for 2,402 pounds at 70 psi. The overall diameter is 29.4 inches and the width is 7.8 inches. It fits 15" x 5", 15" x 5-1/2", 15" x 6" rims.

• What is the Speed Rating of Kenda ST225/75-15 Trailer Tires and are Radials Rated for Higher Speeds
  The trailer tires that we carry including # AM1ST96 are rated for up to 65 miles per hour. Bias ply tires and radials are rated the same. If anything a radial would have a higher speed rating because they track better and run cooler than bias ply tires. But it doesn't matter in this case because both types are rated for a maximum of 65 miles per hour.

• Is LoadStar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire a Tubeless Tire
  Good question; the Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM1ST96 is a tubeless tire, and that is the norm for trailer tires now. Bias tires don't require a tube, and even though some people still use them, we do not recommend it because it can cause the tire to overheat if towed at any type of speed. You've made a smart choice with the Loadstar, which are highly rated tired by our customers, as you can see by the outstanding rating in the customer reviews section on...

• Can an ST225/75D15 Tire be Used as a Temporary Spare for an ST205/75D15 Trailer Tire
  You can use an ST225/75D15 as a temporary spare (provided the wheel is 6 or 6-1/2 inches wide) but you definitely do not want to have it on for long. I would say that it is fine to use to get you to a place that can repair or replace the 205/75-15. For replacement 205/75-15s we have a load range C, # AM1ST92 that would work great for you. The 225 will be 13/16 inches wider and about 1 inch taller so it will affect how the trailer tracks and put added stress on the 205 side. I have included...

  You will always want to use tires that have a capacity that is best suited for your trailer.

  There is exactly zero information regarding the tire pressure to use when towing with your 2018 Ford F-350 both in the owner's manual and the official Ford 2018 towing guide which is why you can't get a straight answer. But there is a statement in the manual that reads: "The Ford recommended tire inflation pressures can be found on the Tire Label, which is located on the B-pillar or the edge of the driver's door.

• Blowout Damage Comparison Between Bias and Radial Tires
  Bias ply tires have the steel cords as well, they just run at a slightly different angle, but they could do the same amount of damage as they aren't guaranteed to come apart in chunks with tire failure as the commercial driver stated. Bias ply cords run at 32 degree angle and radials run at a 90 degree angle to allow the tire to flex more. I've heard of damage to trailers due to tire blowouts, but not any that were better or worse based on radial vs. bias tire use, so I don't believe...

• Can 225/75R15 Tire Replace 225/70R15 Tire
  Are you replacing tires on your car or your trailer? The P indicates these are for passenger vehicles not a trailer. If you are replacing tires on a trailer you want ST tires like the Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire # AM1ST96 you looked at. Even then, a better option would be a radial tire like the Karrier # AM10256. The 225/75R15 will be approximately 1" larger in diameter when compared to the 225/70R15 so you will only lose 1/2" of clearance on the top. It is unlikely this will...

• Can I Use A ST 225/75/D/15 For A Spare Tire In Place Of A ST 225/75/R/15
  Yes, you can use a ST 225/75/D/15 like the Loadstar # AM1ST96 for a spare in place of a ST 225/75/R/15. While there are differences between radial and bias-ply tires, they are not significant enough to make a difference for spare tire use unless you foresee that spare seeing active use long term after replacing an existing tire. A bias tire has a stiffer sidewall and might be used more on off road applications, like farm use. Because of the construction of a radial tire, the tire has...

• What Might Cause Outside of Trailer Tires to Wear Out Quickly
  It's not uncommon for what you are experiencing to be related to axle alignment issues or even a bent axle. I'd recommend having a shop who can do trailer alignments check out the trailer to see if they can find an issue before replacing the tires. Since the outside of the tires are wearing out I would guess the axle may be bent forward.

• Troubleshooting Trailer Tires Wearing Out on the Outside Treads
  The wear is going to be the same with a bias tire or with a radial tire so changing out the style will not help with what is causing the wear. If the tires were over inflated, the center treads would wear. Under inflated tires would show wear on the inside and outside treads. If the wear is just on the outside then the tire is riding at a slight angle with the bottom pointed more in toward the trailer than the top. You will need to check the suspension components, axles, spindles, to make...

• ST225/75R15 Tire Mounted on a Galvanized Wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch Bolt Pattern
  The size difference between the two size is that the ST225/75-15 will be about 1.4 inches taller than a ST205/75-15. For a tire in the ST225/75R15 size on a steel galvanized rim with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern you would want the part # AM32468. This is a radial tire which is a better construction than the bias-ply you mentioned. A radial tire flexes more than a bias tire, giving it better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread wear. A radial tire will normally run cooler...
