Are Kenda Karrier Trailer Tires AM10208 High Quality Tires

Question

Question:

I have a travel trailer at 5500 lbs and using four 185/80R13 tires. Do you feel these tires are a good replacement? Or what do you recommend? We have the what some call China bombs on it right now and well two have popped. I’m looking for tires I can feel safe again. Just worried every time go traveling now.

Most trailer tires out there now are made in China but I would say that the Kenda Karrier part # AM10208 that you referenced is a reliable tire that will work well for you. We've sold quite a few of these tires and have had thousands of reviews at this point and the overwhelming consensus from our customers is that these are reliable and will work well so I am confident they would work great for you too.

A blowout can be caused by any number of things, from the trailer being overloaded to the tire being underinflated (or underrated) to just a poor quality tire. In general, the higher the load range and capacity the higher the ply rating will be, so…

So the largest trailer tire that fits a 13 inch rim is a ST185/80R13 tire, which measures 24.7" diameter and 7.2" wide when inflated. For highway/freeway use you'll need a radial tire, because these have inner cords that run…

Answer 11

You really need to stick to the same size tire for all of the wheels on your tandem axle trailer. If you go to a taller size the ride will be unpredictable, suspension and tires will wear out quicker, and the trailer won't set level. For a Kenda…

Answer 12

Generally speaking, you'll need at least 3" of space between the top of your wheel and the wheel well, so if you've got the extra room, bigger wheels/tires might be an option. Depending on what the Load Range your current ST175/80R13…
