This tire has a 1-year worry-free guarantee. If within the first 12 months the tire is damaged in any way, it will be replaced at no charge.Bias Tires vs. Radial Tires
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.

It’s hard to find trailer tires anywhere in our area. 10 dollars to have it mounted at Mavis and good to go.
by: Clark10/18/2023
Tire developed a minor leak in the sidewall from the molding stamp on the side that appears to have been excessively deep. This occurred just after the one-year warrantee, so I am stuck with a manufacture defective tire and no warrantee.

eTrailer provided prompt feedback on the order, and shipping status. Tire delivery was on-time and enabled me to get the boat trailer back in action as soon as possible. Definitely recommend eTrailer!

Bought this from they're used section and was pleasantly surprised on the value. it had a few scratches but at the reduced price I'm extremely happy.

My tires came folded in half ruining the integrity and shape of the tire, unhappy to say the least.

I own a camp trailer that was manufactured with the above listed tire, yet I was unable to find this same replacement tire at a reasonable price locally. I called every tire dealer that I knew in the local Albany N.Y. area, starting with local camper suppliers. Either they didn't have the tire or were charging what I considered to be an exorbitant amount. Some suppliers suggested I either buy tires with the rims or buy radial tires, of course I would have to buy a match set of two rather than one. As a last resort, I went on line searching for trailer tires and found etrailer.com. I called and Debora H. answered and handled my every question, completed my order and assured me all was right with the world. She promptly gave me an order number and an estimated delivery date. This employee treated me like I was her only customer for the day and I give her much thanks for her assistance. The delivery arrived a full day ahead of her estimated arrival and I had the ability to follow my shipment from their door to mine...how comforting to know their is a company of this caliber! I will continue to support this outfit whenever I can. As soon as I signed for the delivery with the UPS driver, I received an email from Patrick B. to ascertain if all went well with the shipment and if I was satisfied...once again, how can you not like to deal with folks like this? I have not used the trailer on the road, but I assure you, based on the original tires, I see no reason why I wouldn't be happy. I will agree with others that have commented on these tires...Keep the tires inflated to the camper and tire specs and check them regularly to obtain maximum wear. Thank to all at etrailer.com!

This tire has operated exactly as expected with no maintenance except checking tire pressure before every use. I would buy another set of these tires when or if these wear out! Thanks again Etrailer and those employees associated with my purchase.
by: Robert 07/26/2021
Best trailer tire on the market in my opinion. I installed these tires on my ATV trailer about a year ago and I see no signs of wear yet.

About a year in, the tires are holding up fine. Not many miles on them, but they have stayed true and round, no hop or balance issues, tread wear is minimal
by: Mattison05/10/2020
Very pleased with the quality of tires I ordered. Packaged in strut day cardboard box with hole cutout for easy grip and handling.
by: Rich09/30/2022
Tires appear to be misshapen, maybe do to being compressed in shipping from China. Hopefully they'll mount with no problem and take on normal shape when fully inflated. There should be an explanation for this included with the product to assure customer that the tires are not defective as they appear to be. Great service though, tires arrived a day early.

The deformation you mention occurs when bias-ply tires are palletized after manufacture. The tires will mount just fine and take the proper shape.
by: Hungsun04/25/2023
Excellent all the way. Fast shipping, well packaged, tires were of recent date codes and appear to be great quality.
by: James S. 03/30/2013
Service from Etrailer is excellent: courteous, efficient, and shipping was immediate.
I use the Loadstar ST205/75D14 tire on a tandem axle open trailer. I think the tire performs well and is very reliable, but these tires do seem to wear quickly.

ST or Special Trailer tires are built differently than tires for cars or trucks. If they are not kept at their full inflation pressure, their weight capacity s as pressure s and they will wear more quickly.Check the total weight of your trailer and make sure you are not over the weight capacity of the tires, or even really close to it. If so, you may want to look at going up to a load range D tire or keeping a closer eye on tire pressures.
by: Kieran10/02/2022
I ordered 2 of the same size tire however 1 came in wrong size. Company created a return shipping label but I had to carry via car to the shipping store nearby…tires are heavy to handle… Other than that good service.
by: Renny04/25/2020
If these last as long as the same brand ones I removed I will be very pleased. Lots of years and miles on the old set. Looking forward to years and miles of memories on this set.
by: Marvin08/13/2018
When I first ordered the tires, I was informed they were back ordered and would be delayed for up to two weeks. I was offered a substitute, but chose to stay with my original order and asked if they would expedite. My tires shipped the following week with two-day delivery. That's what I call service!

by: Brad 06/09/2023
Exactly what I needed!
by: Lars L09/17/2019
My trailer came with the Loadstar tires and they were excellent for over 20,000 miles. I chose to replace them because we travel on long trips and I didn't want to risk a tire mishap while traveling. They had several thousand miles left on them when I swapped them out.
The new tires now have over 8600 miles on them and have been excellent also; I'll likely buy another set after these wear out. They are quiet, ride smooth, keep their pressures, and wear well. I've had no problems whatsoever.
by: Johnny B03/30/2019
The first tire delivered was misshapen but eTrailer took care of the exchange instantly with both deliveries in warp time. Customer service was better than great.

Ordered new wheel and tire for my tow dolly to use as spare. Retrieved info from Etrailer web site, placed the order, received confirmation and later same day got shipping info and confirmation. Next day got tracking and delivery info from UPS on delivery date and 4 days later package was on my door step. Thanks Etrailer for the for the great pricing, quick handling and free shipping, Not the first time I’ve used your site and won’t be the last. Thanks for the follow up, 100% satisfied.

Received exactly what I ordered and very quickly! I’ve shopped here before for my
boat trailer tires and consistently get what I need quickly and without any errors in my order or shipping. Great job!
by: John04/10/2019
The cheapest price that I found. Easy web page to navigate thru and find what I needed. The first two tires that I purchased came in the same box and were out of shape from possibly having items being stacked upon them. The garage had a little difficulty mounting them on the rims. Ordered two more tires a week later and they both arrived in separate boxes. Going to have them mounted today on the rims.
by: Al10/25/2018
Ordered 2 trailer tires one came in bad shape. Everyone very helpful to make sure that I got a replacement and even though it's on backorder I'm very happy with the service very attentive which is not always typical of online shopping!
by: Jamie05/06/2022
This company has exceeded my expectations. I chose them because of the reviews I read online. They lived up to the reviews. I received my tires on the delivery date and the boxes weren't damaged. We put them on the rims today and everything seems to be good. I received a personal email with my order number confirming I received my order and if I needed any assistance, their number was listed in the email to call them!!!! Definitely will use them again!

See what our Experts say about this Kenda Trailer Tires and Wheels
- Replacement Trailer Tires for Size F78-14 Tires on a Boat TrailerF78-14 is an old size designation and equates to a 205/75-14 tire size so you will want to look at tires in this size. I have included a link to them for you. Since you will be towing approximately 5,000 pounds gross trailer weight and have 4 tires total on the 2 axles, recommend a Load Range C tire, # AM1ST86, which is rated for 1,430 pounds at 35 psi. Four of these tires will have more than enough capacity to support the combined trailer and boat weight. I have included a couple of...
view full answer... - Should Light Truck or Trailer Tires be Used on a Boat TrailerYou definitely want to stick with trailer tires on your boat trailer. Light truck tires are a type of passenger vehicle tire and as such they are not built with as thick of a sidewall as trailer tires. A thicker sidewall allows a trailer tire to handle more vertical load. I recommend going with ST trailer tires. The ST stands for special trailer. The difference between a bias ply and a radial tire is the way the rubber is layered. A bias ply is layered around the tire, and a radial tire...
view full answer... - Speed Rating of Kenda # AM1ST86 ST205/74-14 D Trailer TiresThe Kenda # AM1ST86 ST205/75-14 load range D tire you mentioned is rated for a maximum of 65 mph. If you're looking for a higher speed rating, and a C load range tire (1760 lb/tire) would work for you, I'd recommend the Taskmaster # TR20514 radial which has an 81 mph speed rating. If you absolutely needed a D rated tire, you could go with a 215/75-14 radial tire that's only about an inch wider and 1/2 an inch taller like the Taskmaster # TTWTRTM2157514D which also has an 81 mph rating. I've...

The best route is to purchase these separately and reach out to a local tire dealer/mechanic in order to have the tire mounted onto the wheel.
view full answer... - Tire and Wheel Compatibility on a Small Landscaping TrailerBased on the picture you sent me it looks like everything would be fine, although the fender clearance is pretty tight. But the sizes you list don't quite add up. It sounds like you have a 14.5 inch wheel that you installed a tire designed for a 13 inch wheel, which would not be possible Did you get the size from the lettering on the sidewall of the trailer? I attached a couple FAQs on trailer tires for you to check out as well.

- Can ST205/75R14 Tire be Replaced with ST205/75D14 Tire on Boat Trailer As long as you are replacing all the tires on your boat trailer, you can certainly replace an ST205/75R14 with an ST205/75D14 like the Kenda Loadstar # AM1ST86 that you were looking at. These are the same exact size tires but with different ply constructions. You currently have radial ply tires which typically do a better job on highways because they will flex more and run cooler than a bias alternative. Bias tires will have a stiffer sidewall which makes them a good choice for off road...
view full answer... - Replacement Tires for 2004 Tracker Marine Trailer with F65-14ST TiresThe direct replacement for the F65-14ST tire you mentioned would be a ST205/65-14, which is an uncommon size that we don't carry. The closest equivalent we carry would be 205/75-14. The tire you currently have is 24.6 inches in diameter, and 7.4 inch section width. The ST205/75-14 is 26.3 inches in diameter and 7.8 inches wide which is about a 1/2 inch wider and 1.7 inches larger in diameter. This should be close enough to your original tire size to work fine. Going with a slightly larger...

The closest equivalent we carry would be 205/75-14. The tire you currently have is 24.6 inches in diameter, and 7.4 inch section width. The ST205/75-14 is 26.3 inches in diameter and 7.8 inches wide which is about a 1/2 inch wider and 1.7 inches larger in diameter. We have the 205/75-14 available in a bias-ply or a radial tire.

view full answer... - Compatibility of Replacing a ST215-75R14 Tire with a ST205-75R14 Trailer TireYes, the narrower ST205-75R14 tire will fit in place of an ST215-75R14, It is important for all of the trailer tires to be the same size and construction type (bias ply or radial). Using different sizes can cause tracking problems and lead to premature and/or uneven tire wear. Ideally you would replace all of the tires at the same time. There is a difference in width for the ST215-75R14 (8.4") # AM10234 and the ST205-75R14 (7.8") ex: # AM1ST86. You can replace all tires with the ST205-75R14,...

You'll want to refer to the specs on your existing tires to make sure that they are the same (information will be on the sidewall of your tire). You should always keep your tires at the maximum air pressure, which for this particular tire is 50 psi when cold filled. You'll want to fill...
view full answer... - Replacement Tires For a Ranger Trail Tandem Axle Trailer With 205/75-14 TiresBased on you confirming that the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10234 matches the tire size that you have these should be the correct tires that you need. There are different load ratings available for the 205/75-15 tire size that you need. Also the load rating is per tire so you will be able to multiply that by 4 for the total trailer GVWR. If you are unsure there should be a trailer ID sticker on your Ranger Trail trailer that will show you the weight ratings required for...
view full answer... - Are Radial or Bias Ply Tires Better on a Trailer With 3 AxlesIf the option is available I would recommend a radial tire over the bias tire because the radial tire will provide better stability and more ground contact resulting in a more comfortable ride. A radial tire is going to have better tread wear over the bias ply tire, but when your front axle drags during tight turns it will still take a toll on the tires. Some times drag cannot be prevented, but the best thing to help with this issue is be sure you are towing your trailer as level as possible....
view full answer... - Can Kenda Loadstar ST205/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire, Part # AM1ST86, Be Used as New Mobile Home TiresThe Kenda Loadstar ST205/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire, Part # AM1ST86, is not a one-time-use tire. It is specifically designed for routine use on a trailer and is not intended for use on other vehicles. This bias trailer tire is built with the stiff sidewall needed to support its Load Range C weight rating. It can carry a maximum load of 1760 lbs at 50 psi inflation pressure, making a set of these suitable for use on a 3000-lb-rated trailer axle. I have included a link to a helpful article...
view full answer... - Can a Mix of Radial and Bias Ply Tires Be Used at the Same Time on a TrailerIt is not a good idea to mix tire construction types on a trailer. What you have now are bias ply tires and the ones you are looking to upgrade to would be radial tires. The different types can lead to uneven tire wear, tracking problems, poor ride quality, and excessive heat build-up for only some of the tires. Ideally you would change all of the tires at the same time. For an inexpensive radial trailer tire in size ST205/75R14 you can use # TR20514. It is rated for 1,760 pounds at 50...
view full answer... - Why do My New Radial Trailer Tires Look so much Taller than the Old Bias Ply TiresThe ST205/75D14 and ST205/75R14 should be essentially the same size. There are differences between tire brands and to a lesser degree between bias and radial. Normally the bias ply tire will look taller because of the difference in construction from the radial tire. If you have had the ST205/75R14 tire mounted yet, the tire will look much taller until it is seated on a properly sized wheel. I recommend using tires of the same height and construction, radial or bias on both sides of the...
view full answer... - Will Bias Ply Trailer Tire Sidewalls Flex Less than Radial and Help With Snowmobile Trailer SwaySnowmobile trailers are notorious for having sway problems due to their short lengths and wide construction. this makes it hard to load the trailer with enough tongue weight to eliminate trailer sway, especially at higher speeds. The best prevention against trailer sway is proper trailer loading. Going with a bias ply ST rated trailer tire may help a bit because the tire construction is inline with the tires direction of travel and the radial tires construction is across the direction...
view full answer... - Correct Tire Pressure for 225/75-15 Tires on Boat TrailerYou'll want to keep the tire fully inflated to the maximum cold tire pressure listed on the tire's sidewall, which is 80 psi in your case. Failure to keep the tires fully inflated will give you an unknown load rating, which could be dangerous. Excessive heat is the # 1 cause of premature tire failure. Correct inflation and not exceeding the tire's speed and load ratings will go a long way to prevent your tires from overheating and failing. I've linked you to our series of trailer wheel...
view full answer... - Modern Size Replacements Needed for 7.00 x 14 Tires on Boat TrailerThe closest modern tire size to the 7.00 x 14 size you mentioned would be a ST205/75-14. The two load range C tires we offer are part # AM1ST86 in bias ply and # AM10234 in radial. The ST205/75-14 is about an inch larger in diameter and 3/4 of an inch wider than the tires you currently have. The load range C bias ply tire in that size is rated for 1,760 lbs at 50 psi. The radial is rated a bit higher at 1925lbs at 60 psi. For optimal tire performance and to realize the full load bearing...
view full answer... - How to Measure the Diameter and Width of a Trailer Wheel to Pick the Right TiresFirst I would need to know how you are measuring the wheels. When measuring a wheel you do not measure the overall diameter. I have included a link to a video to the right and in the video our tire and wheel expert shows how to measure. The only reason I bring this up is because 14-1/2 inch wheels are not common. If it happens to be a 14-1/2 we will not have any tires for that size. You would need to replace the wheels and the tires. To replace the wheels I would need to know the bolt...
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Tire for a F78-14 TireThe correct metric size for the F78-14 tire size is an ST205/75-14 tire size. The part # AM1ST86 that you referenced will work as a replacement, but since this is a bias ply tire the part # AM10234 would be a better choice for you. The prices are available below at the links. The main difference between a radial ply and a bias ply tire is how the tire is constructed. The cords inside a bias ply tire run at a 32 degree angle to the direction of travel, and the cords on a radial tire run...
view full answer... - Can I Swap to Larger Tires on My Utility Trailer with 13 Inch Wheels As long as you're able to match your existing bolt pattern with your new wheels, there's no reason to change the hubs on your trailer; there may be instances where the bolt patterns available for your hubs limit you to certain wheel sizes, so that information would be required. The other thing to take into consideration is the additional size you'll be adding in the wheel wells and you'll want to make sure that you leave at least 3" of clearance between the tops of your tires and the top...
view full answer... - What is the Difference Between 204/75-14 and 205/75-14 for Trailer ApplicationThe difference between the two sizes you listed is most likely that the 205/75-14 is an actual tire size and if you saw the size 204/75-14 it was a typo as that's not a standard size. I attached a link to a page that has all of the trailer tire sizes we have in size 205/75-14 plus a help article on trailer tires for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Replacing Existing 215/75-15 Tires on Homemade Trailer with 205/75-15 Size TiresYour current tires are for a passenger car, so switching to trailer tires is definitely recommended. You can certainly switch to the 205/75R-15 tire size. This size would be about 3/4 inch smaller in diameter and have a tread width about 1/2 of an inch narrower than what you're using now. If you'll be using the trailer primarily off-road, I'd recommend using a bias ply tire. Bias ply tires have a stiffer sidewall, which will work better for off-road use. They're also a bit less expensive. You...
view full answer... - Comparing Trailer Tires that Have R and D in the Size, Radial vs. Bias-PlyThe R and the D in a trailer tire size stand for radial and bias-ply. 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 than a bias ply tire, especially when the tire is under a load. A tire that runs cooler will last longer. For those reasons I would recommend an R tire over a D tire. The part # AM10235 should work very well for you.
