• Should I Run Maximum PSI Rating on Trailer Tires Even When Carrying Lighter Load
  
• Yes, you always want to have the tires on the trailer at maximum PSI rating of that tire, in your case, 95 PSI. Anytime you run a lower PSI, it significantly reduces the load carrying capacity of the tire. If you were to run a lower PSI, the thicker sidewall of trailer tires would cause the tires to heat up quicker and will reduce the life of the tires. I have linked and FAQ on tires that you may find as a good reference.

• What Can Cause Frequent Trailer Tire Blow Outs
  
• A lot of trailer tire blowouts are a result of heat build up that causes the tire to fail. There are several things that can cause too much heat to build up but the main two most likely suspects are overloading the trailer and/or under inflated tires. The trailer axle capacity should be located on a sticker or plate on the frame. Avoid loading the trailer beyond its capacity and use tires with an appropriate weight carrying capacity. Trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum psi

• What Size Wheel Do I Need For the Kenda Tire # AM10501
  
• The tire you selected, Kenda Tire, part # AM10501 is designed to fit a 16 inch by 6-1/2 inch wheel. I have linked all of our 16 inch by 6-1/2 inch wheels that we have available. You will need to measure your bolt pattern to choose the correct wheel for your trailer (see FAQ). You will want a wheel that can hold 3,960 lbs. If you have an existing trailer wheel and are unsure of the size, keep in mind that the height of the wheel is measured from where the bead of the tire meets the wheel, n

• What is the Difference Between Load Range E and F Trailer Tires in the Same Size
  
• The difference between a load range E and load range F tire of the same size, 235/85-16, is the weight capacity and pressure. The Karrier Radial Tire, Load Range E, # AM10295, has a capacity of 3,640 pounds at 95 psi. The Load Range F Tire, # AM10501, has a capacity of 3,960 pounds at 110 psi. Trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum psi rating indicated on the tire. If a tire is under inflated, it will cause the side wall to build up more heat faster and cause the tire to fa

• Will BMW Steel Wheel Fit on a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox
  
• The BMW wheel has a 5 bolt with a 120mm (4.72 inches) pattern and the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox has a 5 bolt with a 115mm (4.53 inches) pattern. The BMW wheels will not work on the Chevrolet Equinox. I would recommend to check on the wheel itself, sometimes on a steel wheel it could have the maximum load listed on the wheel. On an alloy wheel it is in the casting on the back of the wheel. If the maximum load is not on the wheel you will need to check your owners manual or with the Chevrolet deal

Your current 235/85/16 tires have an LT stamping, which indicates that it is a light truck tire. The ST on the Kenda # AM10501 indicates that it is a Special Trailer tire.

• Is the Karrier Tire and the Loadstar Tire the Same Brand of Tire or Different
  
• The Karrier tire and the Loadstar tire are separate lines of tires that are made by the Kenda tire company. If the same tire size is made in both brands they will interchange with each other as long as the load carrying capacities are the same on both tires. In the Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range F, part # AM10501, that you have referenced, it is only available in the Karrier line of tires. Kenda has been producing many types of tires since 1962. In the their specialty

• Location of Manufacturer and Warranty of Kenda Tires
  
• Kenda tires offer a 2 year limited warranty, and are manufactured in Taiwan or mainland China. We have sold Kenda tires for years, and when properly inflated and kept at or below their 65 mph speed rating and when used within their weight rating, they work very well. Always be sure to keep trailer tires inflated to the maximum psi listed on the sidewall. Failure to do so can lead to excess heat build up, which is the biggest enemy of trailer tires. I see that the tire you referenced is

• Can 225/75-16 Tires be Replaced with ST235/80-16 Tires on 2001 Carriage Cameo 30R 5th Wheel Trailer
  
• A 225/75-16 is not a standard trailer tire size. It may be a light truck or passenger vehicle tire size. Always make sure you are using trailer tires (indicated by an ST in front of the tire size). A 225/75-16 will be 30.184 inches in diameter and 8.865 inches wide. The larger ST235/80-16 is 30.9 inches in diameter and 9.259 inches wide. You would need to make sure that there is enough clearance above and at the back of the existing tires for the larger size. Both tires will fit on the sa

• Load Range F Tires Compared to Load Range E Tires for a Dual Axle Dump Trailer
  
• In the 235/85-16 tire size you referenced on the # AM10501 Americana tire, the load range F tires would be rated at 3960 lbs at 110 psi compared to the load range E rated at 3640 lbs at 95 psi. The load range F tires are definitely constructed to handle more weight, but whether or not they will last longer than an E would really depend on the situations in which they are being used and the actual trailer weight. We do not offer any tires with a G load rating. If you are finding that you hav

• Can Kenda ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire, Part # AM10501, Replace Light Truck Tires on 5th Wheel
  
• The Kenda ST235/85R16 Radial Special Trailer Tire, part # AM10501, will fit your 16 x 6 inch rims. Special Trailer tires (ST type) have a stiffer sidewall than light truck (LT) tires and so will not provide quite as soft a ride. Special Trailer tires also usually carry a speed rating of up to 65 mph maximum. I reviewed a number of different NuWa 5th wheels on their website. The manufacturer specifies both LT and ST type tires depending on the series and model. For example, the 8 models i

• Is the Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire a Dependable Trailer Tire
  
• Most tires, whether they are passenger vehicle tires or trailer tires, will stand up to the test of time provided they are properly maintained. The tires we carry are the same. Trailer tires must be inflated to the maximum psi as indicated on the tire sidewall. This is because trailer tires are constructed with a thicker sidewall. Because of the thicker sidewall they can generate more heat and if under inflated they will generate excess heat and cause the tire to fail prematurely. This issue is
