Hey Lee,

Kenda tires like the # KE28KV are made in factories in either Taiwan, China, Vietnam, or Indonesia. There are markings on each tire indicating which facility they were manufactured at but to read the coding you would need to reach out to Kenda. 99% of the tires made today are made overseas because the quality has vastly improved over the years. On top of that manufacturing tires isn't the friendliest for the environment so the government has plenty of rules and laws that drive up the price of US made tires, making it too expensive for most tire manufacturers to survive. Overall Kenda is a great brand so if worried about quality you're in good hands.

I would just make sure you that you're getting the correct load rating for your setup to ensure the tires can properly handle the load.

Assuming your trailer wouldn't need the capacity of the higher Load Range and you could use the LR C or LR D I'd go with the #AM10235 over the #TR20514 as it has a longer warranty at 5 years when compared to 2 years.

Answer 12

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…
