Review of Kenda Tires and Wheels - Tire Only - AM10208 Video

Load range D is likely the highest you will find on an ST175/80R13 tire. This is going to be a significant capacity increase over your current tires. Your typical load range C has a max load of 1,360 lbs per tire at 50 psi while a tire like the…

The best option we have that will fit your wheel and work well is the Lionshead tire part #LHWL101. The quality and construction of this tire is unmatched but I really like about it is the fact it has a 75 mph speed rating which is higher than most…

Trailer tires and wheels do not typically come balanced from the factory like what you see with standard passenger vehicle tires. This isn't usually needed for trailer tires and most car shops don't have the needed setup to properly balance…

For a 1/2 inch x 20 lug nut size, which is what is used on the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13 inch wheel, #AM3S140, you will torque them down to 75-85 foot pounds. You should re-torque them at 10 miles, 25 miles, and 50 miles, and…

A 13 inch trailer wheel is likely going to use 1/2 inch lug nuts. The torque spec is the same for a 13 inch wheel whether it is steel or an alloy wheel; 75 to 85 foot pounds. I have included a picture with a handy chart with torque values for you as…

90-120 ft lbs of torque is probably about right for your trailer rims. If you check out the lug nut torque chart that I attached you will see that nearly all of the torque specs are that and higher.

The correct torque specs for the wheel bolts like part #RG02-020 on your trailer with 13" wheels will be dependent on their diameter. I have attached a chart for you below with these variables. These torque specs will be the same whether you…

We recommended to repack the wheel bearings on your trailer every 12 months or 12,000 miles. There is not a specific guideline as far as actually replacing the bearings. When repacking them with grease, you will also just want to check for any damage…

For a trailer tire that fits a 13" wheel I recommend the Kenda Karrier #AM10210. This is a ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire that has a load range of D (1,610 lbs at 65 psi) and a speed rating of M (81 mph). This tire fits 13" x 4-1/2",…

Karrier and Loadstar are two different brand names used by Kenda. There's no difference in quality or function between the two brand names. For a ST175/80-13 Radial trailer tire in load range D, I'd recommend part #AM10210 if you're…

The Kenda Karrier ST185/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D #AM10208 should be inflated to its max 65 psi. On trailer tires you want to inflate the tire to the maximum cold psi, which on this tire is 65. Doing this will give you the best…

I may have another option for you, but the Dexter Trailer Idler Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles - 72" Long - 2,200 lbs #T20BTR-EZ-7258 you were looking at uses inner and outer bearing #L44649 which is used for 2000lb hubs like the Dexter Trailer…
