1-Year Worry-Free Guarantee
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.

Thank you for having Kenda brand trailer tires. I shopped around for a replacement set, only to find frightening prices, or zero stock. This is the second set I ordered from you with speedy service. The second set was even in a bigger box (no squishing).
by: Terri03/07/2022
Although the tires are excellent, squishing two of them into an undersized box is now going to require wooden block spacers and a couple of days in the sun to get all the warpage out of them so the beads can seat. Not very pleased about that. Use a bigger box next time, or two boxes. Free shipping can't be costing you that much.

After a sit in the sun, the tires finally regained their shape, and have been working great!! I love Kendas, even on my vehicles.
by: Richard 06/13/2023
Mounted easily to my trailer rims. Look and feel like good quality. As always Etrailer customer service can't be beat.
by: Jeff P09/20/2014
Replaced my 35+ years-old 4.80-12 trailer tires, thank God I never had a blowout at speed, but the sidewalls were dry-rotted bad enough to get new ones for safety.
I switched to the Kenda K353 5.30-12 LR C tires so I don't need to worry about weight limit on my trailer.
Haven't towed it more than a few miles, but it feels great w/ the newbies on the axle.
by: Steve P11/07/2020
Have towed about 500 miles with no problems.
Not 5 stars do to not knowing longevity yet. Installed on my boat trailer with 16’ fiberglass center console boat as load. Tires run smooth and quiet.
by: John07/01/2022
So far so good, not the best, but this size is hard to find, where I live. Trailer came from TSC, now they don't carry this size. So have to order online, from CHINA!

The tires were perfect and have lasted just fine and the 1/2" rod for the stabilizers was exactly what was needed.
by: Carol07/03/2017
Order came in quickly & product looks way better than the flimsy tires we order for our trailer from another company. The last tires both blew out on our first trip in our camper. Will post more after we travel in a few weeks on these.

My tires are brand new, so I can't really tell you about longevity, but my transaction with etrailer was nice and shipping was faster than stated.

These tires didn’t even make it a year before I had to replace them. They were weather-checked all the way around. They’ll work in a pinch but don’t consider them a permanent solution. Junk.

Weather cracking on tires can have several causes. If a tire is under or over inflated, if it is overloaded, or driven hard over rough terrain can leas to cracking in the tread of the tire. You will want to adjust the pressure or the load if needed. Keep an eye on how the tread is wearing on the tire. We have a good FAQ about tires that can help. The tire does have a 5 year warranty against manufacturer defect.

Just bought the Kendra tires for my lawn trailer, have them mounted but haven't had chance to use them yet. I will say however that I have never had a more pleasant sales transaction.
It was easy, efficient, the price was very good and I was kept informed of my order status throughout the process. I.placed my order on Wednesday and had my tires the following Monday . I will use e-trailer again and would recommend them to my friends.

by: Robert B.09/17/2019
I recently received my order from e-trailer. I ordered a Dexstar wheel, a pair of Kenda tires, a chrome when center cap, lug nuts and screw in studs. I read all the pertinent info supplied as well as check exactly the brands, sizes etc of the parts I was replacing. I was notified by email (from Phyllis) the day following the order placement that their was a shipment delay of the tires, I was supplied with equivalent tire replacements which could have been supplied to keep the order on time or wait a week and get exactly what I originally ordered. I waited and received everything faster then I thought it would have taken. Phyllis kept me updated every couple days on the order progress- so nice! I was a little unsure if the screw in studs would fit but ordered what seemed to be the best match (had to start somewhere & figured I could return if no fit) and studs and lugs fit as stock- exact matches. This was my 2nd order in two years and have had great customer service and better then stock replacement parts, certainly all for a cheaper price then I could ever find in NW Montana! Thank You all at e-trailer!

Needed 3 tires for my boat trailer to match a new one from last year. Etrailer had the best price for the exact tires I needed. One was backordered but they all arrived when promised. Very good service and follow up.
by: Chris06/02/2021
The moment this tire arrived I couldn't help but admire how round it was. Additionally noted how crisp and clean each groove of tread was. It was like this tire was hand carved by a Japanese craftsman. A true work of art. As I gazed upon it I immediately realized I could never put it into service on my trailer and instead hung it in my living room as a centerpiece. It has hung in my living room for 11 months now stunning passers by daily. Of course there is the opposite end of the spectrum - those who criticize my decoration strategy. Obviously... the latter individuals are banned from my home forever. Upon deep reflection it is surprising how many relationships this tire has cost me. What do they know? Who do they think they are? Of course the real issue here is that my trailer is still not operational and I still need a tire. Quite the conundrum I face. What would you do?
by: Nick H.07/27/2016
Tires work great! Went cross country with them from California to Michigan. Had a loaded up utility trailer being pulled by a loaded up Ford Ranger. The tires did just as well in the desert as they did in the mountains and in rain. They sat outside on the trailer through a Michigan winter then worked like new in the spring on a trip down to North Carolina. Expected wear, with no dry rotting or anything. Highly recommend these tires.
by: Roberto 06/17/2020
Tires are now working very well on my pontoon boat trailer. Have never been partial to radial tires for trailers, so these are not as bouncy/mushy, especially for a heavier pontoon boat. The stiffer construction works much better than radials. The valve stems were also very easily installed and also work very well. Overall, very satisfied with the quality of the tires and the valve stems. Would definitely recommend these products to a friend.

See what our Experts say about this Kenda Trailer Tires and Wheels
- Is Load Range Important When Replacing Trailer Tires on a Popup CamperThe load range tire used is going to depend on the gross trailer weight capacity, which should be on a sticker or plate near the front of the trailer frame or in the trailer's literature. It probably also indicates the load range, or at least the capacity, on your existing tires. For a 5.30-12 we have 3 different load ranges: B, C, and D. For a load range B use # AM10064. It is rated for 840 pounds at 55 psi. For a load range C we have # AM10066 rated for 1,045 pounds at 80 psi. And for...
view full answer... - Replacement of 5.30 x 12 Trailer Tires and Appropriate Trailer Tire Pressure RecommendationsBased on the information that you have supplied for your 5.30 by 12 Load Range C Tires (which have a maximum load rating of 1045 pounds), you are correct that these tires should be inflated to 80 PSI. Trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum PSI stated on the tire, and should be inflated when they are cold. Special Trailer (ST) tires are designed to handle higher air pressure and have stronger sidewalls than passenger vehicle tires. These ST tires are expressly designed...
view full answer... - Speed Rating of Load Star 5.30-12 Load Range C TiresThe Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 5.30-12 - Load Range C # AM10066 has a speed rating of 65 mph and like you mentioned a max load capacity of 1,045 lbs at 80 psi. However you should make sure that the combined maximum load rating is higher than the weight of your loaded trailer. With that being said, I can not recommend that you drive 70-75 mph and go over the speed rating of the tire. Excessive weight and speed can cause premature wear, heat build up, and potential tire blow outs. For...

We have the CE Smith Trailer Wheel Lug Nut # CE11051 which will fit this size wheel stud. I recommend replacing your tires with the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10066 as I see a lot of rot on the tire in the image you sent in.

- How Tire Pressure Is Affected By Over Inflation And TemperatureHeat can affect your tires, in general, tires gain or lose 1 PSI for every 10 degrees change in temperatures. Theoretically your tires could inflate up to 2 PSI after a day of driving if the temperature rises 20 degrees. Since you mentioned the PSI increase was after you were driving I do not think it was overinflated. You could use a TPMS system like # TST-507-RV-4-C to monitor your tire pressure levels. You'll want to keep the high temperature alarm setting of 158 degrees set. The alarm...

It is best to verify the pressure in the coldest temperature it will operate before driving. The manufacturer accounts for the tire warming up with higher temperature and when the tire gets warmer from the friction of driving. With having such a light trailer and boat you can have them weighed with all your gear to ensure you are using the correct load...

The tire can handle the increased pressure that comes with they heat up during driving. The only way it would get to hot is if you exceed the speed rating for the tire.

Both of these Kenda K353 Bias trailer tires are rated for 65 MPH.
view full answer... - Upgrading to Larger Tire on Trailer with 3-1/2 inches of Fender ClearanceIn order to have enough clearance for your trailer to travel over bumps in the road, you will typically want to have at least 3 to 4 inches between the tire tread and the fenders. You will want at least 1 to 2 inches between the side wall and inside of the wheel well. With this in mind, you do not have much room to work with in terms of mounting a larger diameter tire without the risk of having some clearance issues. To move slightly up in size and capacity, I recommend looking at a 5.30-12...
view full answer... - Why are 5.30-12 Sized Trailer Tires Heating Up Excessively on a Short TripIf the tires are getting too hot there's a few things to consider. Things like the overloading the tires or trailer, not inflating them to their maximum psi, or exceeding their speed rating will cause the tires to built up too much heat. I also don't recommend having two different tires on the trailer. Even though they're the same size and rating doesn't mean all is created equal. If you need replacement tires we have # AM10066 that are 5.30-12 sized tires with Load Range C. They're...
view full answer... - What Pressure Should Travel Trailer Tires be Inflated to That Have 80 PSI Max on SidewallWith trailer tires you need to keep them inflated to the max psi rating you see on the sidewall when cold. So in your case you'd want to inflate them to 80 lbs when cold and you'd be set. Lower psi will diminish the weight capacity of the tire as well as cause heat build up. Vehicle tires will have ranges but trailer tires you have to inflate them just to the max figure and you're set. I attached a help article on trailer tires for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Tire Size 5.30-12 For 1998 Sparta TrailerFirst thing you need to do is replace the tires like you mentioned since the cracking you are seeing means the tires are most likely on the verge of failing. For that we have the Kenda part # AM10066 which would work great. You do have to keep this tire inflated to it's max psi so that it retains it's full weight capacity and heat build up does not occur which also leads to failure. This is due to the added flex that the lower psi allows in the sidewall. Unlike passenger car tires which...
view full answer... - Does the Center Pilot Hole of a Trailer Wheel Have to be an Exact SizeThere are two different types of trailer hubs that will determine if the pilot hole on a wheel matters or not. First there are hubs that use wheel bolts to secure the wheel to the hub. These are called hub-centric. For this type, the pilot hole has to be exact because that is how the wheel centers on the hub. Then there are the type that use lug nuts to secure the wheel to the hub. These are called lug-centric. The pilot hole can be larger but obviously not smaller because it wouldn't...
view full answer... - Can 4.80-12 Trailer Tires be Upgraded to Larger TiresSo the rule of thumb with trailer tires is you want at least 3" of clearance from the top of the tire to your fender and at least 1" of clearance between the inside of the tire and your trailer's frame rail. Your current size 4.80-12 tires measure 4.8" wide and 20.5" in diameter, which you'll want to keep in mind. You can go to a larger tire, but it will need to be a 12" tire, with the biggest upgrade being a 5.30-12 tire: - Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 5.30-12 # AM10066 This tire measures...
view full answer... - Tire Blowouts on a 20 Ft. Boat and Trailer with 5.30-12 Load Range C TiresMost trailer tire blow-outs are due to heat build up from an under-inflated tire. Trailer tires have a thicker side wall and when under inflated the thicker side wall generates more heat faster and can cause the tire to fail. You should always inflate a trailer tire to the max psi rating indicated on the tire. Always use tires rated for trailer use. They will have an ST in front of the size. I have linked an FAQ on trailer tires.
view full answer... - Can a 4.80x12 Trailer Tire be Used as a Spare on a Trailer with 5.30x12 TiresAs a short term solution should you get a flat or blowout you could use a 4.80x12 in place of a 5.30x12. But you will want to get the 5.30x12 fixed or replaced as soon as possible. Having a different size on the trailer can affect capacity, tracking, tire wear, and overall ride quality. I recommend sticking with the 5.30x12 size as a spare to avoid any possible issues. We have numerous tire and wheel combos in this size which I have linked for you. You will want to match the load range...
view full answer... - Valve Stem Recommendation for a Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10066The Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10066 that you referenced is designed to be inflated to 80 psi so you will need a valve stem that is at least rated for 80 psi. It also depends on the diameter of the rim hole that is designed for the valve stem. Most likely its .625 of an inch. If so, I would recommend the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem # AM20906 as it has plenty of capacity it has a 100 psi rating. If you have a .453 diameter hole for the valve stem you would want part # AM20904,...

You will need to measure your current trailer wheel clearance to determine if you are able to move to the larger Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 13" White Modular Wheel # AM31957. This tire is 24.1" in diameter and 7" wide compared to your 5.3-12 # AM10066 which is 21.9" in diameter and 5.6" wide. You will need to ensure you have at least 1-3/4" of sidewall clearance from your trailer frame and suspension parts as well as the fender. With the tire being 2.2" larger in diameter...
view full answer... - Wider Replacement Trailer Tire Options for 4.80x12 TiresIn order to replace the 4.80x12 trailer tires which measure 20.7" diameter x 4.9" wide in light of a wider option, I recommend a 225/55-12 the Kenda 225/55B12 Bias Golf Cart Tire part # AM1HP60 in particular which measures 21.8" diameter x 8.9" wide. I don't have any wheels with offset for this size so if you don't have the additional clearance you can go with a 5.30x12, the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire part # AM10066 which measures 21.9" diameter x 5.6" wide.
view full answer... - What Pressure Should Trailer Tire Rated at 80 PSI Max be Inflated toTrailer tires should be inflated when they are cold and should be inflated to the max psi rating on the sidewall. In your case you would want to run 80 psi. If you don't inflate them to the max psi figure you will lose weight capacity and potentially cause the tires to overheat and fail.
view full answer... - Tire Blowout on Starcraft Pop-Up CamperSpecial trailer tires should always be inflated to their maximum air pressure (in this case, 80 psi). Manufacturers test their tires to determine the optimal inflation level, and 80 psi is common for 12” trailer tires, so inflating to 80 psi won't cause a blowout in itself. The most common cause of tire blowout is overheating. Overheating can be caused by several different factors: -Overloading the trailer. If the load range of the tire is exceeded by the weight of the trailer, this...

Great I like Kendas! Always consistent quality and sizes. I see questions concerning PSI. I vary my PSI depending if Im trailering full, or empty. Empty, 80 PSI will have it traveling on the center of the tire on a light motorcycle trailer with lots of bouncing around. I bring the pressure down to 40 PSI and watch the contact pattern on that particular trailer, and adjust as necessary.
