Radial Tires vs. Bias Tires

Radial tire vs bias tire graphic

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.



by:

Easy to order and products were as adve rtised.



by:

These tires are outstanding. Our trailers are 16,000 gvw and they hold up better than anything previous.



by:

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.



by:

Good product, super job of delivery.
Very
fair pricing. Will continue to order from etrailer



by:

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!

Jerry how are those Karrier tires? any trouble in the past 3 years? Still running them? How many miles on them?



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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:

This is the second time I have purchased tires from Etrailer. The tires meet all my expectations. Etrailer's pricing and service is outstanding.

Jerry H.

Excellent tire at a great price. I will make future purchases from etrailer!



by:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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.



by:

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.



by:

Ordered 4 HD trailer tires, delivered from EARTH CITY MO to Ellensburg wa in 6 days. Great price, very satisfied, will do more business with etrailer. Thanks Mike S.



by:

Excellent tire! Very hard to find a 16" F range tire. This one is perfect!



by:

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.



by:

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

  • Can I Use an ST235/85r16 Trailer Tire In Place of ST235/80r16
    There'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.

  • Can 2 Different Load Range Tires of the Same Size be Used at the Same Time on a Trailer
    Ideally you will want the tires to match in construction, size, and load range. What can happen is reduced tracking quality and one set will wear out at a different rate than the other set. I advise going with all of the same load range. If you had a flat it would be fine to use a different load range, provided it was the proper size, temporarily until you can get a proper matching tire put on.

  • Recommended Replacement 235/80/16 Load Range G Tires for Large 5th Wheel
    Due to their excellent warranty and included 2-year roadside assistance, I'd recommend the # LHWL410 from Westlake. The tire is a 235/85-16 Load Range G with a 4400 lb per tire/8800 lb per axle capacity with a 75mph speed rating. If your RV or trailer has a flat tire, call the help line and a technician will come change the flat for you. You can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year from anywhere in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico.

  • Trailer Tires Keep Blowing Out on Triple Axle Boat Trailer
    It doesn't seem like a capacity problem since the tires you have on there now total almost 17,000 pounds capacity. Make sure that you are inflating the tires to the maximum psi indicated on the tires. Trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum psi indicated on the tire sidewall. This is because trailer tires are built with a thicker sidewall than passenger vehicle tires to handle more vertical load. If under inflated the thicker sidewall generates excessive heat and can lead...

  • How to Calculate Rear Overhang Needed When Building Trailer
    When building a trailer the most important calculation to determine is the placement of the axles. The amount of overhang at the rear will simply be dependent on where the axles are positioned, so there isn't a specific calculation for determining how much is needed. I have attached a great article on exactly this subject that includes the formulas you need to calculate for the placement of your tandem axles. It will depend on both the weight and length of your trailer.

  • Higher Load Range Tires For Hauling RV With Chevrolet Silverado 3500 SRW
    Yes, we carry tires through load range J. Moving up load range will increase the ply rating of your tire and may slightly increase the capacity if the tires were the weakest component in the system. When changing tires, you will want to pay attention to the tire size and make sure you are only moving one level from the manufacturer's rating or you may get a rigid ride and even wheel hop.

  • Highest Capacity ST235/85-16 Trailer Tire Available
    The highest rated tire we have for size ST235/85-16 is an F load range, # AM10501. It has a ply rating of 12 and is rated for 3,960 pounds at 110 psi. This is the highest capacity trailer tire that we carry. Kenda does not have a load range G tire in this size. The Kenda/Karrier trailer tires are good tires and can stand toe to toe with any brand of trailer tire out there. They are comparable to other leading tire brands including Load Boss.

  • Recommended Trailer Tire With Higher Load Capacity For Fifth Wheel Trailer
    The 235/80R16 tires we offer are all Load Range E 10-ply tires with similar load ratings as you described. It does seem that your trailer axles are a little over loaded per the GVWR you said the trailer has. With the 7,000-lb rating on the axles, the manufacturer knows that not all of the weight is on the axles, as some of the weight of the trailer is placed on the front at the king pin. You want to tow your trailer as level as possible. If the front end is higher, it will put more weight...

  • What is the Overall Height of an ST235/85R16 Trailer Tire Load Range E and F
    First, the LT that is in front of your existing tires indicates you are using light truck tires. These tires are not designed for trailer use. ST or special trailer in front of the size indicates a trailer tire. Trailer tires are designed with a thicker side wall to handle more vertical load than passenger vehicle tires. In the 235/85-16 tire size, we only have the load range E tire # AM10295, and load range F, # AM10501. The load range F tire is going to have the higher capacity of 3,960...

  • Why Do Rear Tires on Tandem Horse Trailer Run Hotter Than Those on Front Axle
    If the tires on the rear axle of your tandem axle horse trailer are running hotter than those on the front axle, this could be due to several possible causes. One of these causes you mentioned; the trailer not being level when hitched. If the trailer rides nose-high this tends to place more of the trailer's load onto the rear axle. This could easily cause those rear tires to run hotter. All trailers tow best when they are level so if you need to switch ball mounts you can choose one with...

  • Troubleshooting Causes for Repeat Tire Failure on 24-Foot Enclosed Trailer
    The root cause of trailer tire failure, apart from outright damage from bad roads or debris, is usually heat, but that heat can come about from several different causes. Excess heat in either radial or bias ply tires can arise from incorrect inflation pressure (either too high or too low), overloading the tire beyond its rated weight capacity or by driving it faster than intended. In some cases a misaligned axle or trailer suspension could increase chances for one of these failures by causing...

  • Recommendation to Replace 235/80R16 Tires and Determining Need to Replace Valve Stem
    When determining if you can increase the psi on your wheels it's not the wheel itself you need to worry about but the valve stem that's being used. 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...

    The safest tire we carry for 16" wheels is going to be the Westlake # LHWL410. This is the same 235/85R16 tire that originally came with your trailer. These Westlake tires have great traction and a high level of durability. They also come with a 5-year warranty and 2 years of complimentary roadside assistance. However, since what you actually asked for was my opinion on the safest and best tire I will give it to you. The Goodyear Endurance is the best option out there. Although we are...

  • PSI Rating of the Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10501
    The Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10501 at one point was rated for 110 psi but it just recently (within the past month), had the psi rating changed to 95 as it's max to get the 3,950 lb capacity. Most of the time the rim is not the limiting factor for the overall psi limit. Normally it is the valve stem that will have to be rated high enough for the psi rating of the tire.

    The # AM22659HWT wheels can handle up to 110 psi. The Kenda # AM10501 in 235/85R-16 has a maximum capacity of 3960 lbs per tire at 110 psi, which sounds like exactly what you're looking for. For maximum performance, safety and tire life, trailer tires should always be fully inflated to the maximum pressure listed on the tire's sidewall. Unfortunately, we cannot accept wheels in trade.

  • Deciphering Date Code on Tire
    A tire date code typically begins with the letters 'DOT', which indicates that the tire meets the minimum Department Of Transportation standards for tires sold in the US. The last 4 digits of the code should be all numbers, with the first two indicating which week of the year and the second two digits indicate the year the tire was constructed. For instance, if the last 4 digits were 4216, it would mean that the tire was manufactured in the 42nd week of 2016. I ran the code you provided...

  • Recommended Most Durable Trailer Tire for 18K Boat on Triple Axle Trailer with 235/80-16 Tires
    For your 18,000lb boat with 235/80-16 sized tires on your triple axle trailer, I recommend the Taskmaster Load Range E Tire # TTWTRTM2358016E. This tire will fit 16x6 inch rims and have a weight rating of 3,520 per tire at 80psi. For your triple axle trailer that would be a total of 21,120lbs which is more than enough for your 18k boat. The nice thing about these tires are that they have a speed rating of M. This means that you can get a max highway speed of 81mph while most other trailer...

  • Do Loaded Trailer Tires have Increase In Tire Pressure Compared to When Unloaded
    If the weight on a tire is heavy enough that the tire deforms then the pressure would increase with added weight. Under normal circumstances the pressure in a tire remains the same regardless if there is a load on them or not. Since the volume of the tire does not change when under a load (only the shape) the pressure does not increase. In an extreme situation you may see an increase of around 1 psi. So you will want to inflate the tires to their max psi rating when cold and you will...

    Most tires, whether they are passenger vehicle tires or trailer tires, will stand up to the test of time provided they are properly maintained. The tires we carry are the same. Trailer tires must be inflated to the maximum psi as indicated on the tire sidewall. This is because trailer tires are constructed with a thicker sidewall. Because of the thicker sidewall they can generate more heat and if under inflated they will generate excess heat and cause the tire to fail prematurely. This...
