The Kenda Loadstar ST175/80D13 Load Range D Bias Trailer Tire, part # AM31233, is a pre-mounted trailer tire and wheel combination that uses a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern and has a white powder-coat finish. We also offer a version with a galvanized steel wheel, part # AM31242.

This tire/wheel is rated for a maximum speed of 65 mph, but local speed limit laws should always be observed. It is rated for a maximum load of 1610 pounds at 65 lbs psi inflation.

It is vital that your trailer tires be kept at the maximum psi rating specified on the sidewall. Under-inflated tires can lead to excessive wear and heat build up, which is the leading cause of tire failure.
