• Is It Normal for Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire to Have Pinholes in Sidewall
  Completely understandable, although I will say that's very unusual for the Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire # AM1ST96 since the Kenda brand is a very reliable brand. If you're still within the warranty time-frame I do recommend pursuing that first, but if not then you can either replace it with the same tire knowing that the pin holes won't be present in a replacement, or you can go with this tire instead: - Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # TR225LRE The...

• Comparing Tire Load Range Ratings for 25 Foot Sailboat Trailer
  A load range D tire like the Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # TR20515D has a higher load capacity than a load range C tire as well as a higher ply rating, so firmer sidewall. This does give a higher level of safety due to strength and the only drawback is a stiffer ride when there is not the weight on the trailer. An empty trailer will ride slightly more rigid. The size of tire will change the load range. For instance, the above tire is rated for a maximum...

• ST225/75R15 Tire Mounted on a Galvanized Wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch Bolt Pattern
  The size difference between the two size is that the ST225/75-15 will be about 1.4 inches taller than a ST205/75-15. For a tire in the ST225/75R15 size on a steel galvanized rim with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern you would want the part # AM32468. This is a radial tire which is a better construction than the bias-ply you mentioned. A radial tire flexes more than a bias tire, giving it better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread wear. A radial tire will normally run cooler...

• Tire Pressure for a 2018 Ford F-350 when Towing a Trailer
  There is exactly zero information regarding the tire pressure to use when towing with your 2018 Ford F-350 both in the owner's manual and the official Ford 2018 towing guide which is why you can't get a straight answer. But there is a statement in the manual that reads: "The Ford recommended tire inflation pressures can be found on the Tire Label, which is located on the B-pillar or the edge of the driver's door. This information can also be found on the Safety Compliance Certification...

• How Many Plies are in an 8 Ply Rated Bias Trailer Tire 225/75D15 # AM1ST96
  Sometimes the number of plies is indicated on the tire sidewall. in this case, the only ply information that is on this tire is that it has an 8 ply rating and that they are nylon. because of the strength of today's materials, there may not be 8 plies. This is because the materials used today can carry more weight and less plies are needed. The ply count does not actually matter. You want to go by the load capacity of a tire. For # AM1ST96 the capacity is 2,540 pounds at 65 psi. Trailer...

• What Air Pressure Should My Trailer Tires Be Run At
  You always want to inflate your tires like the # AM1ST96 to the maximum air pressure when the tires are cold; the tires are designed to handle the additional air pressure that will build up as the tires get hotter. For every 10 degrees in temperature the tires increase, the PSI increases about 1 psi, but again, they're designed to handle the increase in pressure as your tires warm up. If your tires say 65psi, you'll want to start each day at 65psi; lower pressure can cause uneven wear and...

• At What Age Should Trailer Tires be Replaced
  Trailer tires really shouldn't be used after 6 years of age. The materials of the tire just breaks down to the point they become compromised and will eventually fail. In nearly every situation the treads will still be seemingly good and it's age that wears them out before the tread is gone. Tire covers to protect them from the sun like what you can see at the attached link is a great way to help keep them in good shape.

• Can Same Size But Different Type Of Tires Be Used Together On Single Axle
  While both tires are special trailer tires that are the same size, they are constructed differently and so it would be best to not use them together. The ST225/75R15, like Item # AM10256, is a radial tire that is better suited for traction, stability, and overall longer tread life. It also runs cooler than the ST225/75D15, like Item # AM1ST96. The ST225/75D15 you mention is a bias tire that has a stiffer sidewall, will ride a little rougher, and is better suited for off road applications...

• What Are The Alpha-Numerical Codes On ST Tires?
  No. The 117/112 is not the psi. It is the load index. The L is the speed rating of 75 mph. The load index is the rated load capacity for single and then dual tires on each side of the axle. 117=2833 lbs. The maximum psi should be listed on the tire sidewall and is also the recommended psi for the tires to operate. For instance the Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM1ST96 is similiar and rated for 65 psi max.

• Can 225/75R15 Tire Replace 225/70R15 Tire
  Are you replacing tires on your car or your trailer? The P indicates these are for passenger vehicles not a trailer. If you are replacing tires on a trailer you want ST tires like the Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire # AM1ST96 you looked at. Even then, a better option would be a radial tire like the Karrier # AM10256. The 225/75R15 will be approximately 1" larger in diameter when compared to the 225/70R15 so you will only lose 1/2" of clearance on the top. It is unlikely this will...

• Replacement for Existing 8.55 - 15 load range B Trailer Tires
  The modern equivalent size to 8.55-15 would be 225/75-15. For highway use, I'd recommend going with a radial tire for its better ride quality and its better ability to shed excess heat. For a radial tire, I'd recommend the Kenda Karrier 225/75-15 Load Range D tire, part # AM10256. The tire has a 2540 lb per tire capacity. If you won't be running the trailer on the highway much, a less expensive bias-ply tire like part # AM1ST96 would work great for you. I've linked to product videos...

• Where is the psi Rating Located on a Trailer Tire
  It may not be on both sides of the tire. You may need to check the other sidewall for the inflation information. It is pretty small on there too and may show other units of measure in addition to the psi rating. For an ST225/75-15 radial tire a load range C tire will be rated at 50 psi. A load range D will be rated at 65 psi. And a load range E will be rated at 80 psi.

• Trailer Tire Wear on Right Side, Outside Tread Only and Trailer Pulls Hard to One Side
  If you have more of the weight in the trailer on the left side then that could explain the uneven wear. Axles have a bow or camber in the middle. When weight is in the trailer it straightens out the axle some and the tires should wear evenly. When there is not enough weight the camber causes the tires to toe in at the bottom which would lead to outside tread wear. If you do not believe this is the issue then it is possible that the suspension is worn more on the right side or it could...

• Can I Use A ST 225/75/D/15 For A Spare Tire In Place Of A ST 225/75/R/15
  Yes, you can use a ST 225/75/D/15 like the Loadstar # AM1ST96 for a spare in place of a ST 225/75/R/15. While there are differences between radial and bias-ply tires, they are not significant enough to make a difference for spare tire use unless you foresee that spare seeing active use long term after replacing an existing tire. A bias tire has a stiffer sidewall and might be used more on off road applications, like farm use. Because of the construction of a radial tire, the tire has...

• What is Correct PSI Inflation Pressure for Special Trailer Tires
  All special trailer tires regardless of size should always be inflated to the maximum psi pressure rating that is noted on the tire sidewall. It is never appropriate to under- or over-inflate a trailer tire since only when inflated to their rated pressure can tires deliver their specified weight capacity. It sounds like your trailer may have had a different size, type or weight rating tire originally specified by the manufacturer and this could be why the trailer itself lists a recommended...

• Difference Between P225/70R15 and P225/75R15 Tire Sizes
  A P225/70R15 is about 27 inches in diameter while a P225/75R15 is about 28 inches in diameter. They are both nearly 9 inches wide and fit a 15 inch wheel. Both of the tires you mention are passenger vehicle tires as shown by the letter P before the size. The difference between trailer and passenger tires is the flexibility of the side wall. Trailer tires are designed to withstand the downward force of a trailer load while passenger tires have a softer side wall to create a more comfortable...

• What Should Trailer Tires Be Inflated To and When
  The trick with trailer tires is to inflate them to the max psi figure listed on the sidewall when they are cold and you are good. You do not need to anticipate pressure increasing from heat as this figure has already considered that. So first thing in the morning (or before you tow the trailer for the day) check to make sure that your tires have 80 psi and you'll be good. Also be sure not to exceed the speed and weight ratings on the tire! I attached a help article on trailer tires for...

• Compatible Modern Tire Size for 8.25-15 and 7.75-15 Size Tires
  The tire sizes you mention are considered to be obsolete sizes. The 8.25-15 tire would have an 8-1/4 inch width and a diameter around 28-1/2 inches. The 7.75-15 tire would be around 7-3/4 inches wide with an approximate diameter of 27-3/4 inches. The closest modern tire size to the 8.25-15 would be a ST225/75-15, available in bias ply load range D as part # AM1ST96, or in radial load range D as part # AM10256 or load range C as part # AM10251. A ST225/75-15 would be about the same diameter...

• How to Determine the Date a Trailer Tire was Manufactured
  To determine the date any trailer tire was made, including the Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire # AM1ST96 you only need to find the date code. There will be a four-digit code on the sidewall of the tire and the first two numbers are the week of the year it was made and the last two will be the year. For example if you see a code that reads 2918 that means the tire was made in the 29th week of 2018. That said, tires do not wear out from age for anywhere from five to seven years...

• Should Trailer Tires be Inflated Over Maximum psi
  No you should not inflate your trailer tires to over the maximum psi; if your tires have a max of 35 that should be what they are inflated to as going over could also cause the tire to wear in the center of the tire quicker than it should. Underinflated tires is a potential cause for your tires wearing on the outside but it might also be an issue that the weight on your trailer is not enough to straighten the axle when under load. Trailer axles have a slight bow to them that straightens...
