Radial Tires vs. Bias Tires
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.

I would not recommend these tires to anybody! I bought four of them for my boat trailer, mounted on galvanized spoke rims, and in less than 5000 miles of use, two of the four failed. They were balanced, maintained at 65# pressure, never driven over 63 MPH, and considerably oversized for the load being carried. Both tires suffered internal cord separation and went out of round, with "wiggley" tread. Fortunately I discovered both problems before blowouts. The one tire ordered here was a replacement for the first failure, and before I figured out the tire design is faulty. No longer trusting these tires, I got rid of all of them after 5K miles, and replaced them with Goodyear Endurance trailer tires, made in the USA! So far, under same use, no problems at all.

Ordering was simple with solid choices. Shipment was quick with excellent tracking details. Packaging was very good. Very pleased with the level of service.

So far so good. Just finished restoration and still waiting to put these tires down on the open road. Gotta say, they look good.

by: Gary 01/14/2022
This is the second set of this brand tire I have purchased for our enclosed trailer, The original set was great and never had the first problem out of them, Only replaced them as they were 10 years old and feel better with a new set as we travel long distances pulling classic cars. E Trailer had them in stock and Jessica was very knowledgeable and the order arrived in a few days.

Good looking tire. And Kenda is a name you can trust. Especially if you are needing a good quality tire for an affordable price.

Great quality tire at a good price and it arrived quickly.

We bought tires for our 2005 camper. Purchasing was easy and delivery was fast. Thank you for a great purchase.
by: Darin L02/27/2020
Great price for a great tire. I bought these to put on my equipment trailer that was in need of some new tires. These were the wright choice in tires for me. They have held up very well without any issues. Would highly recommend these tires if you need a great heavy duty tire.

They are still doing great. Use the trailer there on quite often to haul lumber, tractor and vehicles on it. Do love them and they are holding up well.
by: William06/19/2018
Shipping was very good with each tire in separate box. I have not installed these yet. The tires look to be very high quality as I have used this brand and size on two trailers. over the past 10 years, a six wheel Avion Travel Trailer and a four wheel Featherlite 25 ft enclosed car hauler.
On my last order about a year ago, I ordered four with the white spoke wheel. Two balanced OK but two different shops could only balance with an excess number of weights. I have the original Featherlite wheels in storage. I am going to install these tires on the original wheels to see if the problem is in the wheels or tires. These tires look very rugged and high quality, so I suspect the problem was the center hole in the wheels causing imbalance from the balance machine.
The four tires and white spoke wheels I bought in 2012 balanced excellently with very small weights. Those 2012 tires will go on the Avion travel trailer set up permanently at a campground. They still look very good with no weather checking, and will replace really old tires that are on the Avion.
I am installing the new tires on the Featherlite enclosed 25 ft for highway safety, but I want them to balance well. I plan to carry a lot of sensitive electronics and tools and I want the trailer to ride smoothly.
I have always been impressed with e-trailer.com so I am still rating this company and these Kenda tires 5 stars.
by: Keith 09/12/2019
After installing our new Kenda Karrier Radial Tires we have traveled 7500 miles and they are doing great. The wear is very even across all four tires.
I would purchase them again.
by: Lee03/30/2018
I ordered this product and then was notified it was late coming in and could be a week late. Etrailer sent me a email telling me the tire was going to be late. I was really worried, because I was needing the tire ASAP for my trip.
Within two days after I saw the tire was shipped, it was at my front door.
I have order products from Etrailer before and have always had a good experience. This was terrific, because it got her in time for me to get it placed on my rim and ready for my trip.
Thanks Etrailer!
by: Anthony 05/22/2023

This place is great. Chris was a huge help figuring out what I needed for my vintage camper. Wheels tires and baby moon caps all fit and work perfectly. Thanx!

Good looking and better tires than the factory tires that came with my RV
by: Paul 07/27/2022
To date I have had no problems. I like tread pattern. It is used on my dump trailer.
by: Gary05/31/2019
Customer service was excellent. Tires arrived boxed separately and on time.
Tires were mounted in preparation for a trip. Too soon to evaluate tires.
by: Timothy 08/17/2022
Exactly what I was looking for and shipping was detailed and on time delivery. Will always buy with trailer first.
by: William 12/06/2021
I just received and installed these tires on 2 different trailers, so haven't used them enough to warrant a review. They arrived in great shape, and I will write a review later in the year after i've used them a while.
by: William 11/16/2021
I just received and installed these tires, so cannot give product review other than they arrived quickly from Etrailer. I will write additional review after a few thousand miles.

See what our Experts say about this Kenda Trailer Tires and Wheels
- What Does a Trailer Tire Load Range MeanI believe you mean Load Range since the Load Ranger was the unsuccessful brother of the Lone Ranger. For any given tire size there can be different load ranges. The different load ranges have different weight capacities. This has to do with the number of plies and/or ply rating of the tire. The more plies in the tire construction or the higher ply rating the higher the capacity is. Keep in mind that going to a higher capacity tire does not increase the capacity of the trailer. If we...
view full answer... - Could a Trailer Tire Size 225/75R15 Replace a 220/70R15Yes, if you had a rim that previously had a 220/70R15 tire installed on it a size ST225/75R15 would fit and replace it easily. The sizes are incredibly close. Hopefully the rim you have is a trailer rim and not one designed for a passenger vehicle. The reason I mention that is the tire size you listed isn't a standard trailer tire size. The part # AM10256 would work well for you.
view full answer... - Can 225/75R15 Tires Replace 205/75R15 Tires on Travel TrailerYou may be able to switch to the larger tires, but it really depends on the clearance you have, so you'll want to measure. With trailer tires, the general rule of thumb is you want at least 3" of clearance from the top of the tire to the top of your wheel well/fender and at least 1" of clearance between the inside of the tire and your trailer's frame rail. When fully inflated a 205/75R15 measures 27.1" in diameter and 8.1" wide, and a 225/75R15 measures 28.3" in diameter and 8.9" wide,...
view full answer... - Can a 205/75-14 Size Tire Replace a 205/70-14 Size TireAs long as the 205/70-14 tires still have plenty of space between them and the fenders you an upgrade to a 205/75-14 tire like part # AM10256. The larger tire is the same width but it's about 3/4 of an inch larger in diameter so you need to make sure you'll still have at least 3 to 4 inches between the tire's tread and the underside of the fenders.

view full answer... - Availability of Tire to Replace the 7.00-15 Size on a 1971 Travel TrailerWe do not carry the 7.00-15 tire size. The other two 15 inch trailer tire sizes that I do have available are the ST205/75-15 size and the ST225/75-15 size. The ST205/75-15 size will have a width of 8 inches and a height of 27.3 inches. This tire will be about 1 inch wider and 1 inch shorter compared to your 7.00-15 size. The ST225/75-15 size will be about 1-1/2 inches wider and about the same height (28.1 inches) as your 7.00-15 tire size, but it is designed for a minimum wheel width...
view full answer... - Can a Larger Tire Size Be Installed on an Express Trailer With 205/75-15 Tires From the FactoryThe ST205/75-15 tire size fits on a wheel with a width of 5 inches to 6-1/2 inches. The ST225/75-15 tire size will fit a wheel width of 6 inches to 7 inches. You will need to make sure the wheel you will be installing the ST225/75-15 on will have the correct wheel width. If the wheel width is not correct it will cause irregular tire wear. If you are buying the tires with the wheels then the tire will come with the correct wheel width. As far as the size difference of the two tires you...
view full answer... - What is the Modern Equivalent of the E75-15 Tire SizeThe modern equivalent of the E78-15 tires you have would be 195/75-15, which is a passenger vehicle size. No problem if you're using it on a small motorhome, but if you're speaking of a camper or trailer, you should really use trailer tires. Trailer tires are constructed a bit differently, featuring a thicker sidewall to better handle the vertical load associated with trailers or campers. I've linked you to an article that contains more information about trailer tires and their differences...
view full answer... - Trailer Tires Wearing on Outside of Rear TiresGenerally, trailer tires wear on just the outside of the tire when the trailer is overloaded (which could be the case with more weight on the rear axle at the rear), there is an issue with the suspension being misaligned, or they are not fully inflated to their maximum psi. I'm not sure what your tire's max psi is, but make sure you want inflate them to the maximum psi to prevent uneven wearing, and you can find on the tire's sidewall.
view full answer... - Recommended Tire Pressure for Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer TiresWe recommend running the tires at the maximum 65psi pressure that's listed on the sidewall. If you run at a lower pressure, you'll have an unknown weight capacity which could lead to problems. I've linked to a help article that has tons of information about trailer tires.
view full answer... - How to Measure the Wheel Bolt Pattern for a Replacement Rim on a 1984 Glendette 22.5 Ft TrailerTo measure the bolt pattern of your rim for selection of a wheel and tire package, you need to measure from the center of the bolt hole on one side of the wheel to the center of a bolt hole directly across from it on a wheel with an even number bolt pattern or, with an odd number bolt pattern measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center point between the two bolt holes directly across from it. I attached an article that explains how to measure bolt patterns and I also attached...
view full answer... - Can I Put Bigger Tires on My Horse Trailer?A 7.0-15 is closest to a 225/75/R15 tire and it will work so long as you have 3" - 4" of clearance between the top of your tire and the bottom of your fender. Your 205/75/R15 tire is 27.11" in diameter. A 225/75/R15 tire like item # AM10256 will have a 28.3" diameter. This should work with no problems so long as you have the proper clearance for the suspension to travel.
view full answer... - Are 225/75-15 Tires Similar in Size to 7.00-15 TiresThere is not an equivalent trailer tire to your light truck tires that are 7.00-15, which have an overall diameter of 29.4" and width of 7.8". A 225/75-15 tire such as the Karrier # AM10256 is similar, with a 28.4" diameter and 8.9" width. You will want to use trailer tires, which will be designated "ST" on your trailer because they have a stiffer sidewall and are designed to handle the loads that a trailer will put on them. Just remember to keep the tires inflated to the max psi in order...
view full answer... - How to Select the Right Tires for Fleetwood Wilderness TrailerThe right tire for your 1990 Fleetwood Wilderness will depend on what the diameter and width of your wheels are as well as the GVWR of the trailer. You will need tires that fit in your wheel well and the width of your rim while also having a capacity at or above your Fleetwood's GVWR. For example, the Karrier # AM10256 fits 15" x 6", 15" x 6-1/2", and 15" x 7" rims, is 28.4" in diameter, 8.9" wide and has a maximum capacity of 2.540 lbs at 65 psi. Additionally, to prevent blowouts always...
view full answer... - Okay to Increase Trailer Tire SizeThe current 225/90-15 tires you're running should have a section width of about 8.85 inches and about 27.4 inches in diameter. A 225/75-15 tire like the # AM10256 would be about 8.78 inches wide and 28.31 inches in diameter, so it would be just a little bigger than your current tire. The 225/75-15 would gain you about a 1/2 inch of height, but you will need to have at least 3-1/2 inches of clearance between the top of the current tires and the underside of the fender, As long as you have...
view full answer... - Can ST205/75R15 Replace 7.00-15LT Tire On Tandem Axle TrailerThe 7.00-15LT tires you have on your 1974 Tandem Axle Travel Trailer are 7.7" wide and 29.3" tall. The ST205/75R15 tires you are looking at are 7.99" wide and 27.13" tall meaning they should fit, but would be quite a bit shorter. The closest available tire size is the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10256 which is 28.4" tall but is 8.9" wide so you could possibly run into clearance issues depending on your specific trailer. A good rule of thumb is 1" - 2" clearance...
view full answer... - Replacement Tires for a 1980 Skyline Layton TrailerIn order to replace the tires on your 1980 Skyline Layton, I recommend the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10256. These tires have a radial construction which will be better for long highway hauls and a load range D rating which will be sufficient for a trailer up to 10,160 lbs. They also have a 2-year warranty. If you are looking to replace both the wheel and tire then I would need to know the bolt pattern in addition to the pilot hole opening of the wheel. You have hub-piloted...

- Can Trailer Tire Size 225/75-15 Replace 7.00-15LTThe tire size of ST225/75-15 in a Load Range of D like the part # AM10256 that you referenced has a weight capacity of 2,540 lbs per tire which would easily be more than enough for a tandem axle trailer that weighs 5,000 lbs. You have about twice as much tire capacity as you'd need. Ideally all of the tires are the exact same, but if this is a one time use scenario and you happen to mix tire brands for just this situation you'd be fine.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement for 7.00-15LT TiresThe 7.00-15LT tires you have on your 1978 Avion trailer have a 29.4" diameter, have a load range that should be in the 2,400 lb vicinity and fit wheels that are 5", 5-1/2" and 6". For comparable tires I recommend going with a trailer tire that is size 225/75-15; these tires are 28.4" in diameter, a width of 8.9" and fit 6" wide wheels. A great option is the Karrier # AM10256 which fits 15" x 6" wheels and has a load range of D, with a capacity of 2,540 lbs at 65 psi. This is a radial tire...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting a Single Trailer Tire on a Tandem Axle Trailer that Wears QuicklyMost likely the problem is either trailer suspension related, or the trailer is in need of an alignment. I would check the suspension first to see if anything looks visibly worn or broken and replace as necessary. If nothing looks out of place I would take the trailer to a shop that can do alignments on tandem axle trailers and have them check the alignment.
view full answer... - Comparing Benefits of Greased Hubs vs Oil Bath HubsFor most RVs greased hubs are a better option than oil bath hubs, and for the exact reason you mention. While it is obviously not good to run your greased hubs without a full load of grease, this tends not to result in catastrophic failures, mostly accelerated wear and higher operating temperature. Oil bath hubs are less forgiving of leaks and they tend not to do as good a job as greased hubs at keeping water out of the hubs. If you check out RV forums on this subject you'll probably find...
view full answer... - How to Fill Tires on Trailer that Have Different PSI Maximums Trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum psi that is listed on their sidewalls. Because their load capacity is based on the them being filled to their maximum psi, under-inflating a tire will essentially reduce its capacity to an unknown rating. For the time being, I recommend filling each tire on your trailer to its specific maximum psi as listed. With that being said, it sounds like you have tires of the same size but of different load ratings on your trailer. I highly...
view full answer... - Can Trailer Tire Size 225/75-15 Fit on 5 inch Wide WheelThe tire size of 225/75R15 can fit the rim width range of 5 inch to 7 inch so yes it would fit on a 5 inch or 6 inch wide wheel. I attached a link to a page that has all of the tires we have in this size as well as all of the wheel and tire combos as well.
