Expert Reply:
You should not have any problem replacing your OEM ST185/80R13 tires with the Kenda Loadstar ST185/80D13 Tire, # AM1ST79. The Kenda Loadstar tires are bias ply tires tires meaning they have cords in the tire that run around the circumference of the tire. Your OEM tires are radial tires meaning they have cords in the tire that run across the width of the tire.
Since the two types of tires are constructed differently you should replace all of your tires if you are changing from radial to bias. At this time we do not carry radial tires for your tire size.
These bias ply tires will have a firmer side wall than radial tires and work well when on rough terrain.
