Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire and 6-Bolt Silver Mod Wheel Needed for Trailer

Question

Question:

Hello, I am looking for a wheel and tire upgrade for a 225/75r15, 6 on 5.5, load range D setup. I would prefer to use the Kenda Karrier tires but with a silver mod wheel. I do not see this option listed. Can you create this package for me? Thank You

You're correct that this combo doesn't exist, but you can piece them together with the following:

- Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10256
- Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20539

You can just change the quantity of each to match what you're needing to replace. Please note that we don't have the means to mount tires onto the wheels so you'll need to have a tire shop do this for you when you get them.

I strongly recommend going with a wheel that has a galvanized finish as opposed to just a silver powder coat for the best protection against corrosion. Even if you are going to only use it on a lake - as opposed to salt water - the Steel Mini Mod…

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

The three most common lug stud sizes for a trailer are 1/2"-20, 9/16"-18, and 5/8"-18. In order to make sure you get the correct lug nuts you need to measure the lug studs on the trailer now as we have no way to look this up for…

Answer 9

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…

To determine the size of the hub assembly you need to purchase you have to determine which bearings are in the old assembly. If the old assembly has L44649 inner bearings, you would use the hub you chose #8-258-5UC1. If the inner bearings are marked…

Answer 12

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
