Very difficult tire to find (popup camper). No RV dealers or national tire dealers could get them. Found etrailer online and called. They had them in stock and I explained I needed them quickly as I was going on vacation the next week. Within an hour I had confirmation they were shipped and got them after 2 days. Incredible service. Very happy and gratefull customer.50772

Tires, what can I say, look good and have a higher weight rating then the Duro they are replacing. Long time to receive but they are freshly manufactured. That is a plus, you should not mount tires over 5 years old from date of manufacture.13698

Excellent product! These tires came as OE from my trailer manufacturer. I run them on a 26 foot tandem axle, enclosed snowmobile trailer with tortion spring suspension. They have proved to be an exceptional tire. Now after 8 years and 10's of thousands of miles of traveling in the worst weather that Northern Maine has to offer without any issues (flats, loss of control, etc) I am replacing them with the exact same tire. The orignal tires still have excellent tread depth and even wear just feel like it is time. 4782

I cannot give these tires a rating other than good at this point as I have not had them long enough or installed them yet. I will however give e trailer an excellent rating as the tires arrived on time, in fact a day earlier than quoted when the order was placed, and exactly as specified. I had ordered the same tires from a local guy and recieved the tires in load range c instead of d and was told by this dealer that the manufacturer doesn't even produce this tire. I am very pleased with the ordering process as well as the updates and status of the order, the free shipping was also a plus. I will definately consider e trailer the next time I need tires. 60946

The prompt service I received from etrailer.com was fantastic. I called in my order and the gal (Lexus) that helped me was very friendly and efficient. I placed this order on a Friday, the tires were at my door on Tuesday and I had the tires on my camping trailer before dark. I would urge etrailer to keep these tires in their inventory as they are hard to find. I checked with several major tire retailers in my area and they either couln't get them, the lead time was to great or the price was way to high. As for the quality of the tire, I guess time will tell. I will certainly look to etrailer.com the next time I am looking for trailer needs. Thanks again! 54711

These tires are great for my Fleetwood redwood Popup, actually were original equipment when my popup was new. I looked everywhere, this is the best tire you can get in this size, etrailers price was great when you figured the free shipping, got them within a weeks time. Walmart mounted them and did heavy duty valve stems and kept the old tires for a total of 18.00 Make sure you run these at max pressure to insure even wear, previous owner of my popup ran them low and I had serious wear on the outer edges I run my tires at 65psi 53104

These tires look really great. I hope their performance is as good as they look. I was unable to get tires locally with a heavier (D) load rating in the 13 inch size for my boat trailer having a single axle and a boat weighing 3800 Lbs. I have had two tire failure over the past 7 years when using the C load range tires that originally came with the trailer. I hope this ends my tire failure problems. At least I'll have greater piece of mind on the highway.50930

I recently purchased two Loadstar ST185/80D13 Load Range D Bias trailer Tires. This was a difficult item to find looking locally, online, or even calling several manufacturers and distribution centers. These tires are for our family's 10 yr old popup camper which on the last trip had a blow out and needed to have them replaced before our summer trip. I found them on etrailer at a fair price and made the purchase late one evening. By morning I had received two emails notifying me that the product had shipped and that shipping had been upgraded to 3 day with no extra cost. The tires arrived on time at my parents home where the camper was stored and the tires were installed by a local installer that afternoon. Thanks etrailer for making our summer camping trip possible and hope others find your services as beneficial as we did. Happy Trails!43492

It's very hard to find a small 13 or 14 inch trailer tire in an 8 ply rating. I have a HD single axle trailer that is made to haul two atvs. We do a lot of back country travel with the trailer loaded and these 8 ply tires wear well and give you and extra margin of safety-- most people under tire their trailers. Etrailer was one of the few places that had these tires; took about a week to get them with their free shipping. So far so good. PWO 41978

I am very pleased with the service and ease of ordering, tracking, and follow up, from etrailer. I will know more about the tires soon, as I am planning an 800 mile trip with the trailer these tires are going on. Hard to find load range D tires in this size, as there is only 1 other option that I can find ( the brand I have now ) and I am not pleased with the life, so I was looking for a choice. They arrived very quick, ( a couple of days ),undamaged, and appear to be just as described. Again, the real test for the tire will be soon, but I would definitely buy from etrailer again.24768

We ordered these in July, to replace a pair of Duro brand tires. The tires have felt very good while driving and have worn really well so far (3,000+ miles since install). With our pop-up being over 3,000 lbs, they were really one of the few options for our single-axle trailer to keep us in the safe-load zone. Very well done Loadstar. And a tip of the hat to e-trailer.com for making the purchase and shipping easy!24745

Ask the Experts about this Kenda Tires and Wheels


  • Will 185/80D13 Trailer Tire Fit On A 13 inch x 4 inch Wheel
  • When installing tires on a wheel, the tire will have a range of wheel widths it will fit on, which is 1/2 inch either way. In this case a 185/80D13 will work on a 13 X 4-1/2, 13 X 5, 13 X 5-1/2. The best fit is the middle of that range, which is 13 X 5. The correct tire that will fit on a 13 inches X 4 inches wheel is the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire, # AM1ST76, # AM1ST74, or # AM1ST77

  • Does a Radial Trailer Tire have Better Roll Resistance than a Bias Trailer Tire
  • There is a difference in the way a bias tire rides versus a radial tire. A radial trailer tire will offer a smoother ride and will track better behind the tow vehicle than a bias tire. This seems to indicate that a radial tire would have less roll resistance also but under load you would probably not be able to tell the difference. For either type of tire, be it a radial tire or a bias tire like the Loadstar # AM1ST79 that you have referenced, it is important to inflate the tire to the maximum p

  • How to Correct Trailer Sway when Towing an ATV Trailer
  • Trailer sway or whipping is normally caused by a low tongue weight condition due to improper trailer loading. Proper tongue weight is the best defense against trailer sway. For your ATV trailer you should have at least 10 percent of the total trailer weight on the tongue of the trailer, this means that there should be more weight loaded in front of the trailer axle or axles than behind them. We have an informational article for you to review, see link, that explains tongue weight and how to

  • Are the Loadstar Tires # AM1ST79 Tubeless Trailer Tires?
  • The Loadstar ST185/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire # AM1ST79 that you referenced is a tubeless tire. Check out the picture I attached that shows a zoomed view of the tire where it says tubeless. I also attached an FAQ on trailer tires for you to check out.

  • Can Tacker Boat Trailer Tires, 175/80-13 be Replaced with 185/80-13 Tires
  • The reason that you are having blow outs is probably not the tire size, it is the type of tire. Passenger vehicle tires should not be used on trailers because they are not designed to handle that type of load. Trailer tires are designed with a thicker side wall to handle more vertical load. When properly inflated and used within their capabilities the tires will not blow out. Trailer tires need to be inflated to the maximum psi indicated on the tire. That thicker side wall that gives the tire

  • Replacement Tire Option for an OEM Tire Size ST185/80 R13
  • You should not have any problem replacing your OEM ST185/80R13 tires with the Kenda Loadstar ST185/80D13 Tire, # AM1ST79. The Kenda Loadstar tires are bias ply tires tires meaning they have cords in the tire that run around the circumference of the tire. Your OEM tires are radial tires meaning they have cords in the tire that run across the width of the tire. Since the two types of tires are constructed differently you should replace all of your tires if you are changing from radial to bias.

  • Availability of ST185/80D-13 Tires in Radial
  • The ST185/80-D13 tire is apparently a fairly uncommon tire size. I have checked with some other tire manufacturers, and they do not offer that size in radial, either. I would speculate that it is not available in a radial because of a lack of demand. The ST175/80D-13 is a much more common size, and for all intents and purposes is interchangeable. The # AM10210 in 175/80D-13 is .3 of an inch smaller in diameter and .2 of an inch narrower than the 185/80D-13 and has a 1,610 lb capacity at 65 ps

  • Recommendations for Trailer Tire Wear on the Outside of the Tires
  • Typically, when the outside edges of a tire are showing wear its because the tires are under-inflated. The solution is to inflate the tires to the maximum pressure listed on the sidewall. Now if the outside of tires have what looks like gouges are taken out of the rubber most likely it is broken suspension components or its a bent axle or spindle. Unlike passenger vehicle tires, you always want to have trailer tires inflated to the maximum tire pressure for the best performance and wear.

  • Choosing Radial or Bias Ply Tires for Jayco 226 Travel Trailer
  • In the ST185/80-13 tire size, we only have a bias ply tire available, part # AM1ST79. If you were wanting a radial, you would need to go with size ST175/80R-13. We have that size in load range D with a 1610 lb capacity at 65 psi, part # AM10210 or in load range C with a 1360 lb capacity at 50 psi, part # AM10199. The dimensional difference between the ST175/80-13 and the ST175/80-13 is minimal. The 175 will be .2 of an inch narrower and .3 of an inch smaller in diameter. If the choice is a

  • New Trailer Tires Appear Deformed
  • When trailer tires leave the manufacturer, they are palletized. When they are placed on the pallet, the tires are compressed in order to save space and reduce shipping costs, as you can see in the provided photo. Although they might look a bit alarming, there is actually nothing whatsoever wrong with the tires. Once mounted on rims and inflated, they will be perfectly safe and will preform very well for you.
