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.

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

Easy to order and products were as adve rtised.

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.

These tires are outstanding. Our trailers are 16,000 gvw and they hold up better than anything previous.
by: Jerry H.07/25/2012
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!

Very fair pricing. Will continue to order from etrailer

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

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: Bruce08/24/2018
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.

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: Tim03/13/2017
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: OK07/23/2017
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: Kenneth05/31/2016
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: Joe C.07/14/2016
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: Donnie 09/10/2020
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: Sam09/04/2019
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: Stephen 07/09/2022
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: Jeffrey08/06/2018
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: Steve 08/20/2022
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.

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.

Excellent tire! Very hard to find a 16" F range tire. This one is perfect!
by: Thursey Catlett11/02/2021
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.

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

- Is Weight Capacity on Tire Sidewall Per Tire or Per AxleThe load capacity information displayed on your tire's sidewall is the capacity for a single tire. For the capacity per axle, double that number. If your tire sidewall shows 2860 lbs as the max capacity at full inflation, the capacity per axle would be 5720 lbs. I've linked to our series of trailer wheel and tire help articles which contain mores information about trailer wheels and tires to last a lifetime.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Suspension that Starts Shaking Over Small Bumps Around CornersI'd be willing to bet you have a worn out suspension component that's allowing too much movement and is what is starting the jumping you described. Try inspecting all of the components of the suspension and look to see if you can find anything that looks too worn out or with too much play and fix as needed. Look around the shackles that attach between the springs and equalizers for holes that are out of round.

If I am misunderstanding the setup please let me know. For calculating any trailer's tire load capacity needs just divide the GVWR by the number of tires on the trailer. In tire size ST235/80-16 the highest capacity tire we offer is the Load Range G Taskmaster Provider # PRG80235 which can handle 3640-lbs per tire in a dual-tire configuration...
view full answer... - Can I Use an ST235/85r16 Trailer Tire In Place of ST235/80r16There's really only about 3/4" difference between the diameter of an ST235/80r16 and an ST235/85r16 like the Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range F # AM10501, so the difference is negligible. You'll want to make sure you don't already have wheel clearance issues on your trailer but in most cases you should be able to swap without issue.
view full answer... - Best Tires to Tow 14k Trailer, Radial vs.Bias Tire.Thank you very much for your question and I will be glad to help. We don't have any non-radial tires (bias tires) in the size you requested. If trailer damage is your main concern, choosing a bias tire over a radial tire won't make too much difference. Actually, because of the contraction of the tires now, A radial tire flexes more than a bias tire, it has better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread wear. A radial tire will normally run cooler than a bias ply tire, especially...
view full answer... - Difference Between ST235/80-16 and LT235/80-16 TiresIf you're comparing the same load range tire, the ST235/80-16 will always have a thicker, stronger sidewall specifically designed for the vertical load it'll need to contend with for trailer use. The LT tire is designed for a light truck (hence the LT prefix) but they're acceptable for trailer use as well. The Kenda Karrier # AM10501 you'd looked at is a load range F tire with a weight capacity of 3,960 lbs per tire/ 7920 lbs per axle. You'll want to make sure that the combined weight...

If you also need the tires, the Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range F # AM10501 would fit on those wheels and provide you with a high quality tire that has a Load Range F, which have a capacity of 3960-lbs...

I'm sorry to hear you've had multiple flats too but looking forward the best quality tire for your Bighorn and my recommendation is the Kenda Karrier Load Range F # AM10501. This tire has a speed rating of 81 mph. Moving to a 235/85R16s from your current 235/80R16s and stepping up to a load range F, will make about a 763 lbs per tire in capacity difference and will also increase the overall diameter...

This tire has an 81 mph speed rating and 1-year worry-free guarantee. Please note, using a high rated trailer tire is not always going to benefit you as it can then create a harsher more stiff ride. Furthermore, ply ratings are no longer used in the trailer tire world because they can now make tires with fewer plies...
view full answer... - Determining Correct Load Capacity for Tires on 6,000 Pound TrailerThe combined load of your 4 tires and wheels just needs to match or exceed the loaded weight of your trailer minus its tongue weight. If your trailer will weigh 3 tons (6,000 pounds) I recommend getting trailer tires that have a maximum load of at least 1,500 pounds to allow for a healthy safety margin. I am not sure what size tires you are looking at putting on the trailer but just as an example the popular ST205/75R15 size with the Taskmaster provider tire # TR20515D would be a good...

"Dual tire" refers to having two tires on each side of a single axle (your scenario number 1). This is when you will need to follow the 3,520 pound maximum load. Your scenario number 2 of a tandem axle setup would call for the single tire load capacity of...
view full answer... - Highest Load Rating for 235/85-16 Trailer TireThe highest load rating we offer for a 235/85-16 is F, the Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10501 which is rated up to 3,960 lbs. It's a 12 ply tire with radial construction. We don't offer any load range G options at this time but so long as you are under the capacity, you'll be good to go. Please note, the tires won't be rated for the entire weight of the trailer as you must subtract tongue weight. The PSI is 110.
view full answer... - Can Tire Size 235/85-16 be Used with Triple Axle Equalizer Kit # AP302Yes, since the equalizers of the Triple-Axle Trailer Equalizer Kit # AP302 are longer at 10-1/8 inches and the length of your springs is a bit longer than most you'd easily be able to use the tire size 235/85-16 that you referenced. In this tire size I can recommend the Kenda Karrier # AM10501. This is a load range F tire which has a capacity of 3,960 per tire and a speed rating of 81 mph. It also comes with a great warranty of 5-Year limited warranty with a 1-Year worry-free guarantee.
view full answer... - What is Typical Suspension Deflection for Tandem Axle TrailerThe typical spring deflection for leaf springs on a trailer is up to 1-1/2 inches when at capacity. The recommended clearance with leaf spring suspension on an unloaded trailer is between 2 - 2-1/2 inches between the axle and the frame. You would want an additional 3 inches beyond deflection for maximum bump clearance for fenders and would want 4.5 inches of clearance at the unloaded ride height for fenders.
view full answer... - Trailer Tire Recommendation for a Triple Axle Toy Hauler that Weighs 18,000 lbsThe tire I would recommend is the Taskmaster part # TTWTRTM2358016E. This is the same size tire as what you have of 235/80R16 and is a Load Range E with a capacity of 3,520 lbs at 80 psi. Which would give you a total of 21,120 lbs of tire capacity since you have a triple axle trailer. What is also really great about these tires is that they have an M speed rating which means they are rated for up to 81 mph. Most trailer tires are only rated for up to 65 mph so these would be an excellent...

You mentioned you want the maximum capacity, but so long as the tires are rated to meet or exceed your trailer's GVWR you will not need any further capacity; you can get those if you like but basically you'd be spending more money for tires that are a higher capacity and won't be seeing a benefit. Having said that, since you have a pair of 6,000 lb axles...

Not all age-related deterioration of a tire will be as visible as we might like but since your tires are about this old and since they DO have visible cracks in the sidewall it is indeed time to replace them.

It may be a light truck or passenger vehicle tire size. Always make sure you are using trailer tires (indicated by an ST in front of the tire size).

This will give you a total trailer capacity of 12,168 lbs and will work fine to haul your 7500 lb tractor. If you want tires rated for your complete axle capacity of 14,000 lbs, I recommend the Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range F # AM10501 rated for 3,960 lbs each or the Provider ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range G # TTWPRG235R16 rated for 4,400 lbs.

This tire has a section width of 9.25 inches and the height of the sidewall from rim to tread is 7.86 inches. A trailer tire can fail for several reasons including overloading, heat build-up due to under-inflation, and exposure to the elements causing dry rot.

Typically aluminum wheels like what you have are fitted with standard valve stems that are rated for 65 or 80 psi. To verify what your valve stem is rated for you really just need to look at its construction. If it is rubber all the way up it's most likely rated for 65 psi. If it has any metal at all (but still some rubber too) then it's likely...
