Bias Tires vs. Radial Tires

Bias vs. radial tire graphic

Bias ply tires are designed for off-road or agricultural applications. They are built with thick, durable nylon cords that are positioned at a 30- to 45-degree angle to the direction of travel. The layers alternate in a crisscross pattern, making the sidewalls stiffer so that the entire tire is able to flex easily. As a result, the tire provides a smooth ride and improved handling when trailering on uneven surfaces.


Determining the Bolt Pattern

The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.

Bolt Pattern - Odd

To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)

Bolt Pattern - Even

On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)

Bolt Pattern - Side

Measuring the distance from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

  • If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
  • If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
  • If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
  • If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"


A good alternative to 20.5 x 8-10 tires

I have not been on the road with these trailer tires, but am giving them an above average rating because of my other experiance with Kenda tires.

Work as they should. No complaints as of yet.

So far excellent..last tires lasted 15,000 mi. on Mini-Mate motorcycle camper over rough roads. These are going to Alaska and in load range C for gravel and bumps. Wheels have perfect paint and the 3 raised dots in rim recess to hold my new baby moon hubcaps. Popped them on new wheels/tires today and they fit over bearing buddies and seated more firmly and tightly with than I've experienced before with no rattle at all. The tires installed more easily because the center hole was smaller than many old sets of wheels and lug bolts aligned easily and exactly. The Kenda 6-ply have been good in past but was very pleased with last tires(CST) the rubber stayed soft and didn't crack. My spare is also Kenda 6-ply and hasn't shown cracks through 4 sets of tires on the trailer. The new ones look to be of same high quality. They arrived quickly and was able to install between work commitments. After trying to order same on other sites for over a week and get info as to plies/wheel type, etc., I stumbled on eTrailer site and 'bingo' all taken care of and perfectly!

Its now a year and they are at the wear bars! However, they traveled rough chip and seal and dirt and mud roads through Yukon and Alaska round trip from Colorado. They have 1200 miles on them..5000 more than the last sent went and on sandpaper roads to boot! I want another set of these as soon as they can be shipped!



by:

Same brand as the tire I replaced, except 90 psi compared to 60 psi. Sidewall also indicates higher weight capacity than my old tires.
Wednesday order indicated Friday delivery. Shipping notice stated it would be the following Monday. Actually delivered on Saturday, only one day later than originally thought.
Overall excellent service and quick delivery at a great price. Nobody in my area had it in stock and other delivery options were seven to ten days.



by:

These wheels and tires are ideal for highway use for long trips. They say right on tire "High Speed Trailer". With the trailer with no cargo, it weighs 530 lbs. With a 600 to 700 lb load I am at capacity with old tires (590 lbs each). These new tires are Load Range C vs my old tires Load Range B. My new tires are 745 lbs range each. They have two extra plies on the side wall. I also updated the springs with the 750 pound range 3 leaf version I bought also from etrailer. The key to success is to inspect the trailer each time you use it for small starting cracks in trailer frame, loose hardware, low pressure in tires, lights, etc.

The way that trailer tires are rated has changed over the years. Currently, the ply rating given to a tire doesnt necessarily reflect the number of layers or plies used to construct the tire. This tires rating is equal to the rating given to the rating a 6 ply tire under the old rating system.

Nice new tires and wheels for my 50 year old boat trailer that has been off the road for 22 years! Thank you for having what I needed in stock.

I havent had these on the road yet. So far I have only moved the trailer around my property. I expect to start road trips this summer. Thanks again for having what I needed.



by:

I'm getting 10,000 miles+ from these and like the fact that the installed rims have the 3 little nubs to accept moon discs on my motorcycle trailer. I pull through some nasty places and this keeps my 'Bearing Buddies' grease from picking up dirt. Got 2 sets wheels last time so am set for a while. On an Alaska 10,000 mile round-trip over bad chip and seal and horrible dirt these held up great. Be sure to inflate properly for your application as they come inflated to 60 lbs. (for boat trailers) and my little camper requires 27 lbs. when loaded. Test run them over your wetted driveway to see that you are running on the entire tread, not only the middle.

Tires and wheels look great, time will tell how they hold up but they look like very good quality

A year later these tires have held up really well.

Items delivered promptly less than a week. When I first saw the box I thought they had sent me a whole trailer lol. thats how well packed it was. Quality product for an unbelievable low price. I highly recommend doing business with this company

Everything is holding up great. No problems. I expect it to be on the last wheel I should have to purchase. And when the tires wear out this is where I will purchase their replacement.



by:

The wheel & tire were an exact fit of the old wheels. The powder coat will last many years. The wiring harness in the picture was also from Etrailer.com. It simply just plugged it in (I loved that part). That's so much easier than hard wiring a harness to a vehicle.



by:

This is the second set of these Kenda 6ply Hi Speed rated trailer tires I have purchased from etrailer.com.

They’re used on my Vintage 1988 Coleman Columbia Camper I pull to road racing permanent tracks throughout the US during the summer.

The first set lasted 5,000 miles. The team there are the best and the prices are amazing.



by:

It's a great tires and wheels mounted and ready to go on the trailer. fast shipping.



by:

These wheels were a great replacement for my "tag-a-long" trailer that I will pull behind my motorcycle. I dressed them up a little as you can see in the picture by adding little black dots to the rim. From a distance they look like regular 12" or 13" rims with holes in them.



by:

The review is more about etrailer process and customer service. They take pride in what they do. The tires that I recieved cost less than a $100. Judging by the packaging, you would think the box contained merchandize worth a $1,000. I had called them on couple occasions and the people I spoke with provided me with an excellent service.



by:

This site was great to purchase from! I have an older trailer for our small levy boat and wasn't even sure what size to choose. The information on this site was readily available, very detailed, easy to understand, and easy to find. This allowed me to select the wheel and tire combo that was a perfect match to my application giving me the confidence I needed to make my purchase.

I highly recommend this site for your trailer needs!



by:

It was for a spare tire. It's mounted on the trailer and luckily it has not been deployed.



by:

The tires are wearing extremely fast. So much so, that I will look to another brand for this season.



by:

AM30040. Top quality. Very satisfied.Load range C, very sturdy. Using this tire and wheel package on a converted boat trailer to utility trailer, used for hauling quads, riding mowers,and motorcycles.



by:

It's the right tire and wheel for a great price



by:

The last tires lasted 10,000 miles on my time-out trailer. I pull it with my Harley and the wife keeps it loaded heavy. These are the exact same tires so I expect the same results. Ordering was easy, shipped in a reasonable time. I am pleased.



by:

Great replacement wheels and tires... replaced for a kayak trailer with galvanized hubs for use in Saltwater... quick shipping and great followup!

Great wheels, good price. Ordered from etrailer many times, always happy with the product and service : )



by:

Good product, decent price. This is the exact same rim and tire that has been on my motorcycle trailer for the last 28 years. I guess this is a pretty standard unit. Perfect.



by:

Very nice unit. Replaces old tire and rim on small boat trailer. Quick delivery and packaged very well. Thanks etrailer.

Great service and tires arrived fast!!!

  • What Could Cause Vibration At 50 MPH On Trailer W/ New Axle and Hubs
    That is definitely odd, but I would lean towards a hub/bearing issue. I didn't see you mention this step, but when installing the new hubs/bearings did you tighten the castle nut nice and tight to seat the bearings fully, and then loosen it up to get the correct bearing preload? If not I would start there and complete this step and see. The hubs should not free spin, but should have very minor resistance. If that all checks out, I would make sure all of the U-bolts holding the new...

    It is feasible this can be done as long as you have the room. The Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Aluminum Wheel part # AM30677 that you looked at is 20.7" in diameter compared to a Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel part # AM30040 that is 16.1" in diameter the tire will be 4.6" larger. Only half of that will be between the fender and tire so 2.3" or about 2-3/8" plus a couple of inches for suspension travel. With that said I think 4.4" would be a good number...

This kit includes 4-on-4 hubs that work with trailer wheels from 8- to 12-inches diameter, like # AM30040, but note these wheels/tires are rated for 745-lbs each so two of them can handle 1490-lbs, not 2200-lbs as the axle can.

  • Benefits of Using Higher Load Range Trailer Tires
    Increasing a trailer's tire size can offer some potential advantages but it can also cause issues. Using a wider and/or larger diameter tire can mean clearance issues within the fender wells and at the leaf springs. It is important to have enough clearance above the tire tread to allow for suspension travel; at least 3-inches but more is better. The most common reason folks want to use larger tires is to reduce the chances of a blowout, which is certainly a very good motivation! But there...

  • Which 4.80 X 8 Size Tires Can Be Used On A Minuteman Trailer To Maximize Tire Tread Life
    The 4.80x8 tire size has a overall diameter of 16.1 inches and a section width of 4.6 inches. I would not recommend going to the 5.70x8 size or the 215/60-8 size, because you would be increasing the overall diameter to 18.1 inches, which is 2 inches taller. When you go to a taller tire you are making the trailer taller and that will increase the chance of more sway, as well as possibly causing clearance issues.

  • Is The Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8 Inch White Wheel, # AM30040, Rated For The Highway
    The Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8 Inch White Wheel, # AM30040, is highway rated. Trailer tires have a speed rating of 65 mph. Trailer tires are designed for carrying a maximum load at all times, so to do that they are reinforced in the sidewall. With the sidewall being reinforced, that causes the heat to build up more quickly at lower speeds with a load on the tires, so you will not want to run a trailer tire at higher speeds than the 65 mph speed limit.

Each wheel will have a maximum load capacity of 745 lbs at 90 psi. This tire will have a diameter of 16.1 inches and a width of 4.7 inches. If you have the 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern, I recommend the powder coated # AM30040 or galvanized # AM30050.

  • Can Camper Trailer Weight Capacity Be Increased By Changing Tire Load Range Rating
    Thank you for the photo of your camper trailer. When it comes to a trailer's weight carrying capacity the lowest-rated part of the trailer - either the frame, axle, hubs, wheels or tires - will determine if more capacity can be added. If the tires were the lowest-rated component then changing them to another size or simply to a higher load range in the same size could give you more capacity/safety margin. But if the tires are not the "weakest link" then upgrading them does not add capacity...

  • Can Vehicle Tire And Wheel Be Used On Pop-Up Camper
    It is not recommended to use a vehicle tire on a trailer or camper because they have weaker sidewalls and can fail. Trailer wheels typically have a zero offset and vehicle wheels have an offset so there could be clearance issues with that as well. Also, the bolt pattern could be different for the wheel as well. I would stick to trailer wheels and tires on the trailer to be on the safe side. If you let me know what the wheel bolt pattern is on your trailer hubs I will be glad to make some...

    First, make sure that you stay within the gross trailer weight capacity for your trailer. If that 200 pounds extra puts you over the gross trailer weight capacity then you will want to carry that extra weight in the vehicle. Going with a higher capacity tire will not increase the gross trailer weight capacity. With that said since you have a long way to go and such small tires, having a stronger tire in the same size would help to reduce the chance of anything happening to the tires. For...

  • Will Excessive Pavement Temperature Affect Tires On Trailer
    The failure of a tire is typically due to the tire being under-inflated or over-inflated. The heat of the road is normally not a factor with tire problems.

  • What Pressure Should Trailer Tires Actually be Ran At
    Trailer tire pressure ratings are different from vehicle tires. With trailer tires you want to always inflate them to the max psi rating when cold and as long as you aren't exceeding the weight capacity and speed rating any psi fluctuation will be totally fine and not need to be monitored. If you under-inflate them (sounds like you might have been) they will build heat up quickly which eventually leads to failures like blow outs. The # AM30000 should be ran at it's 60 psi rating. It...
