Features to know about

Made for Long Hauls at Real Highway Speeds: Load Range D with 81-mph Speed Rating

Long trips and heavy hauls call for a tire that can keep pace. The Kenda Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" Galvanized Wheel delivers an 8-ply, Load Range D rating with a maximum load of 1,610 lbs at 65 psi and an M speed rating of 81 mph. The assembly meets Department of Transportation specifications, so you can run confidently at highway speeds with dependable strength mile after mile.

Built to Resist Rust and Corrosion: Galvanized Steel Wheel

Saltwater exposure and road grime won’t slow this wheel down. The 13" x 4-1/2" steel wheel features a corrosion-resistant galvanized finish that holds up in wet or humid environments. Its 8-spoke design combines durability with a clean look that stays solid through seasons of use.

Stable Feel on Uneven Roads: Bias-Ply 8-Layer Construction

This bias tire uses thick nylon cords set at a 30- to 45-degree angle in alternating layers, creating a tough crisscross structure that makes the sidewalls stiffer. The result is better stability and smooth handling when trailering on uneven ground. It’s built to flex as one unit, keeping your load steady even on rough surfaces.

Strong, Balanced Setup: Matching Tire and Wheel Capacities

Everything here is matched for proper performance — the tire’s 1,610-lb capacity lines up with the wheel’s 1,660-lb rating for balanced strength across the setup. The zero offset keeps the load centered over the hub, while the common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and 1/2"-20 studs make for straightforward fitment when swapping wheels.

Confidence from Day One: Backed by Solid Warranties

The Loadstar combo carries a 5-year limited tire warranty, a limited 2-year wheel warranty, and a 1-year worry-free guarantee that replaces the tire at no charge if it’s damaged within the first year. It’s extra assurance that your setup is ready for miles of reliable towing ahead.

Determining Bolt Pattern

1. Count the lug holes

Look at the wheel hub or the back of the wheel and count how many lug holes there are(also called bolt holes).

Common configurations include: 4-lug, 5-lug, 6-lug and 8 lug

2a. For even lug counts (4-lug, 6-lug, 8-lug)

Measure from the center of one lug hole directly across to the center of the hole opposite it.

Center to Center
Common configurations: 4 on 4", 6 on 5.5", 8 on 6.5"

2b. For odd lug counts (5-lug)

Measure from the center of one lug hole to the outer edge of the hole directly across (not center-to-center since there's no directly opposite hole).

Center to Outside Edge
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

Great tires, great price.

Ordering was a breeze. Shipped and received in a flash. Etrailer has a new long term customer with me! Great tire/rim combo. They spiced up my little boat pretty good.



by:

They were totally as advertised on time and undamaged!Nice product for price.



by:

Excellent customer service and easy web site on ordering. Tracking the package from start to finish is great.



by:

Excellent product. Tire holder is first class and galvanized. Tire and wheel are also first class. Only suggestion I have is that all the hardware should also be galvanized because many of us use this in a saltwater environment.

The tire was delivered as promised (in excellent condition) and my husband was able to take his fishing trip as desired!

Nice! Glad we could help get him out on the water! ^___^ What is he fishing for?



by:

These are load range D tires that I needed for my Tritoon. The rims have a good finish that should not rust for a while. etrailer customer service is the best. I called on Thursday to inquire about my order and was told they didn't know when the shipment would arrive. Since I needed the tires quickly, etrailer substituted another tire in stock and I got them the next day with free shipping. Triple AAA plus for customer service.



by:

Great shipping speed got me the tire I needed fast. Quality is excellent as well no sketchy online tires like some sell.



by:

etrailer has always been a reliable "go to" source for all of my trailer / camper needs. Keep up the good work.



by:

Great service. One call is all it took. In the last two weeks my fishing partner just bought 4 wheels and tires got the same great service. Keep up the good work.

Tires and rims are like brand new after one year. No issues. Thanks for the great products. Keep up the good work.



by:

Nice wheels, and they were delivered right on time.



by:

I would like to comment that the wheels purchased look great. Arrived in 4 days from my order. The quality is excellent along with the price. I have attached a picture where I replaced the standard rims, wheels, and hub caps on my Tracker Boat trailer with the new wheels from etrailer. The center piece from my old hub cap set matched perfect with my new galvanized wheels.



by:

This was to be a spare tire on my saltwater boat trailer. I live about 300 yards from the ocean. I had the same rims and tires on my trailer and they are still as rust-free as the day they were installed some years ago. With tire covers, they are also free of dry rot on the tires.

The spare that this one replaced was also free of dry rot but the painted rim was crumbling, and it had never actually gone into the water!

Galvanized is the way to go in a salt air environment. Great tires and rims for a good price.



by:

This tire and wheel are a spare for my 6 x 12 utility trailer. I mounted it with a mount also purchased from etrailer and secured it with a wheel lock I also purchased from this website. I have made many purchases from etrailer for my boat, utility, and Airstream trailers and have always been very satisfied with every aspect of all my purchases. This business is a KEEPER! Purchase with confidence.

Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias with Galvanized 5 hole wheels. It has been hard to find a set of 13" tires to take this load weight, but you had them!

Used on a custom built tilt bed trailer that hauls a 1976 "Morrison Trailblazer", one of only 300 built to make trails in the woods as narrow as 24" wide, or up to 6 feet wide. Morrison Trailblazers were the first mechanized trail building machines made, each built one at a time by Jerry Morrison, each one an improvement over the last one built, this one is # 276, his name is "DINO" and this trailer takes him deep into the woods.

Bought this tire wheel as a spare. Quick delivery, exact match.

Reasonable price for the wheels and tires and delivery performance excellent.



by:

I had ordered two tires and galvanized rims for my boat trailer and forgot to order the spare in which I did four days later. Unfortunately, the price of the third tire and rim was $16 more than I had just paid. I did make a call and they said they couldn’t do better or match the ones I had just bought. I just feel it was kind of an algorithm that saw me look at them again and raise the price, but who knows I’m sure they have thousands of these in their stock.

Galvanized rims are still totally galvanized after saltwater in Baja. Tires still look good. Will buy again from E Trailer instead of my local FE Trailer that is way more expensive.

Tires and wheels were delivered in a day and a half in perfect condition and they look excellent on my trailer. Very happy customer!

Great tires/wheels. I've had these on my boat trailer now since September 2025 and have right at 3K miles on them. Tread is still like new. Ride smooth, no vibrations. Will definitely buy these again when the time comes.

  • Can a Mix of Bias Ply and Radial Trailer Tires be Used at the Same Time
    For a short distance, you can use radial and bias tires at the same time, but you would not want to have the mix for long distances or periods of time. The problem is that the 2 different tires track and perform differently and this can affect ride quality and increase wear on the tires. For a bias ply tire, load range D, 175/80-13, use # AM1ST77. For the same tire on a 5 on 4-1/2 inch galvanized 13 inch wheel use # AM31242. I have included a link to our tire FAQ article for you.

  • Are There 14 Inch or 15 Inch Trailer Tires Less Than 8 Inches
    We may be able to help you out, although the reason you cannot find 14 or 15 inch tires that are smaller than a ST205/75R14 is because that is the smallest size, and they are 8 inches wide. For a narrower tire you will need to get smaller, 13 inch wheels, either ST175/80D13 which are 6.6 inches wide and 24 inches in diameter or ST185/80D13 which are 7.2 inches wide and 24.4 inches in diameter. You also need to ensure you have the matching wheel bolt pattern and load capacity. If you are...

  • What is Best Replacement 175/D13 Trailer Tire: Loadstar ST175/D13, Part # AM31233, or Carlisle
    All other things being equal, it is always preferable to have matching tires on your trailer. Different tire brands may have different tread depths and may wear at different rates due to variances in the formula used in their rubber compound. However, you can use the two different tires if you wish. As we do not offer the Carlisle tires, I suggest you use a second Kenda Loadstar ST175/80D13, part # AM31233, and keep the Carlisle as your spare.

  • Do Boat trailer Tires/Wheels From etrailer Come Balanced?
    Hey Ryan, thanks for reaching out! The Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" Galvanized Wheel # AM31242 does not come balanced, but trailer tires don't need to be balanced the same way automotive tires do. If you do want to have them balanced, a local tire shop will be able to easily help you out with that. How many wheels/tires are you needing?

  • Is There a Way to Balance Trailer Tires
    Hey Mike, none of our trailer wheel and tire combos like the Loadstar ST175/80R13 # AM31242 are balanced as most people find it's unnecessary. Plus the weights fall of trailer wheels much easier. But you can use balance beads like the # CA66VR to balance it internally. Have you been able to feel your trailer tires be out of balance before?

  • Recommended Tire Size Upgrade From Current 205/65-10 Tires
    I have a solution for you, but your 205/65-10 tires similar to the # AM3H390 are going to be the largest size we have available in tire that fits on 10" wheels. In order to get larger tires you would need to go up to a 13" wheel. If you've got a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern currently, the Kenda Loadstar ST175/80-13 # AM31242 would be a good choice. These tires are 24" tall as opposed to the 20.5" tires you've currently got and are a Load Range D tire with a capacity of 1610-lbs. These also...

  • Can 4.80-12 Trailer Tires and Wheels be Replaced by 175/80-13 Tires and Wheels
    The radial tires at size 175/80-13, are going to be 7 inches wide; too wide to be able to fit without incident on your trailer, so you will need to go with a bias ply tire. The wheels that we carry, unless otherwise noted, have a zero offset. This means that the extra width will be split evenly on each side of the tire. However, there will be very little room if you just have 1-3/4 inches of clearance. Make sure you double and triple check the measurements before ordering. As you are aware,...

  • What Size Radial Tires to Replace Existing B78-13ST Load Range B Tires on Boat Trailer
    The B78-13 tire you have corresponds to a ST175/80-13 tire size. Radial tires are an excellent choice. They tend to run cooler than bias-ply tires, which will lead to longer tire life. If you are needing the tire only, we offer that size in a radial load range D (1610 lb capacity @ 65 psi) or a load range C (1360 lbs @ 50 psi). The load D tire is part # AM10210, the load range C tire is part # AM10199. If your present wheels have a 5 lug on 4-1/2 inch bolt circle, we offer a load range...

  • Trailer Fender Recommendation for Boat Trailer with 13 inch Diameter Wheels
    For a 13 inch wheel and tire like the part # AM31242 that you referenced. The Fulton single axle trailer fender part # F008583 that you also mentioned would work well as it was designed for the tire diameter that you are going to go with. I attached a picture that shows this fender installed on a boat trailer with a similar tire size as what you have. If you need mounting brackets as well you'd then want the part # CE26061G-2 for a set for each side of the trailer.

    According to my research, your Coleman Newport originally had 20.5 x 8-10 tires mounted on a 10 x 6 inch rim with a 4 lug on a 4 inch bolt circle. The modern designation for that tire size is 205/65-10. Please confirm the size of your existing tires, which should be listed on the tire sidewall. We offer wheel/tire combos that would work great for you. For a load range B with a 910lb capacity per wheel, use # AM3H330, # AM3H370 for a load range C with a 1100 lb capacity, # AM3H410 load...

  • Should I Get Higher Load Range Tires Than Needed
    The higher load range tires, part # AM31242 that you looked at, really won't help or hurt you. They don't protect any better against nails or anything else that can damage them compared to lower rated tires like part # AM3S060 and you certainly don't need the extra capacity. On the other hand the flexing of a tire doesn't have much bearing on the quality of your ride. Sure it'll have some but your suspension should take up most of that. If it were me I'd likely go with the D rated tires...

We also offer a version with a galvanized steel wheel, part # AM31242. This tire/wheel is rated for a maximum speed of 65 mph, but local speed limit laws should always be observed.

  • Replacement Modern Tire Size for B78-13ST Tires on Tandem Axle Boat Trailer
    The old B78-13ST tire size translates into a modern ST175/80-13 tire size which is compatible with a 13 inch diameter rim that's 4-1/2, 5 or 5-1/2 inches wide. We offer a load range C radial tire (1360lbs at 50psi) part # TTWTRTM1758013C or a bias ply, same load range as part # AM1ST76. Either tire would offer plenty of capacity. I'd recommend the radials, as radial tires tend to run cooler. Since excessive heat is the number one enemy of tires, the cooler you can keep the tire, the longer...

  • Best Replacement Wheel and Tire Combination for the B78-13ST Tires on my Boat Trailer
    I spoke with our in-house tire expert. Your best bet would be a 175-80. The wheel and tire combo you were looking at, part # AM31242 from Americana, should do just fine. It is a galvanized wheel, so it should hold up better in your marine application, and the ST175/80-D13 tire is the proper replacement size for your B78x13ST.

  • Replacement for ST175/85D13 Tire and Wheel
    The closest thing we have is ST175/80D13 like the # AM31242 you were looking at. We do not carry 175/85-13 trailer tires. This has a 13" x 4-1/2" wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. The tire has a max load of 1,610 lbs at 65 psi. The diameter of this tire would be 0.7" less than a 175/85-13 tire so clearance wouldn't be an issue with the slightly smaller size. However, if you decided to use this tire I would replace any other tire so they're all the same size.

  • What Tool to Use for Enlarging 1-7/8 inch Trailer Jack Hole to 2 inch
    When we have to enlarge holes here for the install of trailer hitches we usually use a rotabroach tool but the best tool to use is a reamer. Since you're making a relatively small size increase I would find a 2 inch reamer tool for a power drill and go with that.
