  • When airing up the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10066, the tire is designed to be inflated to the 80 psi when the weather is colder.

  • Replacement Size 205/75-15 Trailer Tires
  • The most common reason trailer tires fail or don't last is from under inflation. Trailer tires should always be inflated to their maximum psi when the tires are cold. This is because trailer tires are constructed with a thicker sidewall than passenger vehicle tires to handle the increased vertical load. If the tires are under inflated the thicker sidewall will generate even more heat. Other factors that can cause a tire to wear is exceeding the tire's speed limit rating or overloading...

  • Troubleshooting Why Left Rear Tire Has A Bald Tread And The Other Tires Are Fine
  • There are a few different reasons why your tire tread was bald and your other tires are fine. One option is that you could have a bent or damaged spindle on the trailer. Another option could be that unevenly loading your trailer and putting more weight on the bald tire side. The stem valve could be bad which is not allowing it to hold its full pressure. An under inflated tire will wear a lot faster especially at the outside edges of the treads surface. An over-inflated tire will wear more...

  • Recommend Valve Extender System For A 2021 Ram 3500
  • When it comes to valve extenders for your 2021 Ram 3500 I recommend The Wheel Masters 4-Hose Inflation Kit - 16" to 19-1/2" Dually - Hub Mount # WM8001. These stainless-steel-wrapped hoses take the hassle out of inflating and checking the air pressure of your tires. It relocates the inner tire's valve stem to out wheel and extends the valve stem on the outer tire. This kit is designed for steel or aluminum rear wheels with wheel liners. With the straight hose it is 13 inches from tip...

  • Looking for a New ST185/80D13 Trailer Tire or Tire and Wheel Combo for a Coleman Popup Camper
  • The Kenda Loadstar ST185/80D13 Trailer Tire, # AM1ST79, will fit on your current trailer wheels. PSI ratings are more important for tires than they are for wheels. Your current wheels should be able to support a 65 PSI with the new tires. Outer tire wear is typically related to under-inflation or a bent spindle. If you mount new tires and have the same issue, I recommend taking your trailer to a trailer service shop to have them inspect the spindles and the axle. If you do not want...

  • Troubleshooting Overheating Trailer Tires on a Tandem Axle Trailer
  • I may have some information that will help, but we do not carry any trailer tires with a speed rating higher than 81 mph. N-rated tires (tires rated up to 87 mph) are one of the higher speed rated tires for trailers and it would be difficult to find a trailer tire rated higher. There are not many companies out there willing to make high speed trailer tires because it is difficult to keep the load rating. Since you have checked for proper inflation and axle/brake issues, my next thought...

  • 205/65-10 Load Range E Tire for Highway Use
  • The Kenda # AM1HP56 tire you'd looked at is a bias-ply. Radial tires run more smoothly and cooler for highway use than bias ply tires do, but folks have been using bias ply tires on the highway for years without issue. If you keep the tires properly inflated, keep your speeds down to a reasonable level (just because a tire carries an 87 mph speed rating does NOT mean it's safe to pull a trailer that fast) and don't overload the trailer, the # AM1HP56 would work very well for you.

  • Tires to Replace 7.75x15 Sized Trailer Tires

These are load range D and have a maximum capacity of 2,150 pounds at 65 psi. They also have a higher maximum speed rating than many tires at 81 mph.

  • Can Air Tank be Added to Firestone Air Compressor
  • If you already have a compressor like the # F2097 you can add an air tank like the # F9245. This could be used for inflating tires or your air horn. However, none of the 12V compressors are going to have the CFM to run your typical air tools. If you're looking for a compressor and air tank, I recommend the # F2549. This comes with a 2 gallon tank and the compressor will put out 0.94 CFM at 100psi. This is also a dual path system so you can inflate your air springs independently or equally.

  • Replacement 205/75-14 Sized Tires for a Tow Dolly with Bias Tires
  • Since it's safe to assume you're pulling your tow dolly on highways and not going off road with it I recommend switching from a bias to a radial tire. Radial tires flex more than bias tires so the generally have better ground contact and wear better. They also run cooler which is always a good thing. A tire's worst enemy is excessive heat. A great 205/75 R14 tire is the Westlake # 274-000012 which has a maximum capacity of 2,040 pounds at 65 psi. You always want to inflate trailer...
