Features to know about

Made for Real Highway Miles: Load Range D with 81-mph Speed Rating

When you’re towing long distances, this setup is built for steady highway speed and heavy loads. The Kenda Karrier ST175/80R13 radial tire carries 1,650 lbs at 70 psi with an 8-ply rating and M speed rating (81 mph). The matched steel wheel is rated for 1,660 lbs and meets DOT specifications. Together, they deliver the durability, temperature control, and confidence needed for extended highway travel.

Reliable Strength in Every Mile: Radial Construction with Double Steel Belts

This tire combines the durability of a bias design with the cooler performance of a radial. Double steel belts and full nylon plies reduce rolling resistance and heat buildup while extending tread life. The computer-generated tread pattern and premium rubber compound maintain traction whether the pavement is wet or dry, keeping things stable mile after mile.

Corrosion Resistance That Lasts: White Powder-Coated Steel Wheel

Moisture and road grime don’t stand a chance against this finish. The 13" x 4-1/2" steel wheel uses e-coat and white powder coat layers that resist rust year-round. Its 8-spoke design keeps the look clean while protecting against corrosion even after repeated use in damp or humid conditions.

Ready to Install and Hit the Road: Mounted Tire-and-Wheel Assembly

Skip the extra step at the tire shop—this combo arrives mounted and properly inflated so it’s ready to bolt on. The wheel uses a common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern with 1/2"-20 bolts, a 3.19" pilot diameter, and 0 offset for straightforward fitment. With an outer diameter of 24.1" and a section width of 7", it’s an easy upgrade that rolls smooth right out of the box.

Peace of Mind on Every Trip: One-Year Worry-Free Guarantee

Kenda backs this tire with a one-year worry-free guarantee—if it’s damaged in the first 12 months, it’s replaced at no charge. Add in a five-year tire warranty and a limited one-year wheel warranty, and you’ve got long-term protection to go with dependable everyday performance.

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"

I was looking for new tires for my tent trailer, and all local retailers and tire shops had load range C tires, but I needed to get load range D tires to match what was specified for the trailer. I searched many sites, and found etrailer to have not only the best pricing, but excellent delivery, responsiveness and delivery. The tires shipped the next day, and they arrived at my home in a couple days with no issues. Excellent job.

I liked the service, quality and process for buying that tire for my trailer, I would definitely recommend it to anyone else, and do it again next time I need new tires.



by:

I could not find the exact product locally and needed the load range "D" rating for my camper. I was able to purchase all of my items from the same store, received them at the same time in excellent condition. The entire process is smooth, and the equipment was delivered exactly as stated in good condition. Well informed from purchase to delivery. Would not hesitate to do business with e-trailer in the future. This was the first purchase I have made with them and the free shipping just can't be beat.

Good product, fast service, tires came inflated and ready to mount on Yacht Club boat trailer. For the price of load range C tires mounted and balanced on the existing trailer rims This package provides load range D tires on new rims. I like the white rims. Brightens things up.

Tires and wheels still doing great, even after thousands of highway miles and rough NW Ontario back roads. Great product!



by:

Hard to find load range D in this size mounted on new wheels for nearly the same costs as load range C's purchased locally mounted on my old wheels. It was time to replace my 7 year old load range C tires and this purchase was a no brainer, fast free shipping with the ease of just replacing already mounted tires. Time will tell how they'll hold up but it's not like my old tires wore out they were just getting too old.

Recently purchase a slightly used 5'x8' utility trailer for the main purpose of hauling my Harley. The tires were bias and in decent shape. I will utilize the trailer for my "Snowbird" flight to Nevada this winter and wanted to be sure I was not going to experience a blowout or other problems with the tires on the trailer. After researching different sources I chose etrailer for a complete set of rims and radial tires. I also purchased the spare tire carrier they offer. I am very pleased with not only the price, but the timeliness of etrailers shipping. Received my order and will recommend this company to my friends.

3600 mile trip and they are still looking like new. Getting ready for another trip this fall and another 3600 miles.



by:

Thanks for the excellent customer service as always. I was happy to find a radial tire with a greater load capacity than my camper came with. The OEM tires were bias-ply and were too close to their load rating, wearing out their inner and outer most tread blocks prematurely. For now, the towing experience only changed my peace of mind. Hopefully I will see better than 2000 miles out of these tires. I did have this set balanced, and they required a substantial amount of weight. Please check back in the summer of 2017.

Great! This tire is rated for a heavier load than the OEM tires on my camper. The OEM were borderline without adding gear to my camper. I went through two sets of the OEM before switching to these. This set is holding up much much better. I am thankful that etrailer offers this tire for my needs.

Megan G. in customer service assisted me in getting the tires/wheels I needed for my fishing boat trailer. Now, in the scheme of all things important, I think we all know how critical preparedness is when speaking of fishing gear.

Imagine me with my trailer on jack stands and seeing all the other boats out on the lake hauling in their limits of salmon and lake trout. This cannot stand.

Megan followed up with phone calls and email to ensure all my transportation needs were met and did so with grace, friendly and capable service. I have purchased from etrailer before and will continue doing so. BTW, the wheels and tires are perfectly fine and were shipped in a smart cardboard overwrap and arrived right on time, if not earlier than expected. Thank you Megan and to your support team. They are on my trailer and I am rolling today.

These arrived quickly and look good. I ordered them mid August, 2022, and the date codes on the tires were 1422, and 3621. So one was about a year out from the manufacture date while the other was quite new.

My second set for my boat. They've done thousands of trouble-free miles. Never had one leak air. First set moved to my utility trailer, survived unspeakable abuse there, no leaks, no problems. Dependable.

I purchased Loadstar 5.30 12 Bias Trailer Tire 5 on 4 1/2 Load Range C . I failed to notice that it was a Bias Ply which only has a Load Range C at 65 mph. I got back with etrailer for a refund and replace them with a 175 13 Radial that has a Load Range D at 81 mph . It was a hassle free Exchange. Of course they deducted shipping on my refund. Make sure that's the item you want it will save you on shipping cost on your return. Overall I'm very happy with the Tires and rims and they fit perfectly. Very good customer service. I received them in three days. I would recommend this company. 5

I purchased this tire/wheel combo to replace my older bias-ply tires and wheels on my camper. I upgraded to these radials because I do tow my camper on the highway. So far, so good. I’ve only taken these tires out camping a few times - but the trailer is pulling great and the tires seem to be wearing fine. I’d also like to note, that I asked multiple questions to the etrailer folks before buying these. As always, etrailer responded quickly and were very helpful in my decision making. This wheel/tire combo was fairly priced, and I got them within a few days of ordering them.

Tires were perfect for the trailer, replaced boths sides and now the trailer rolls so smooth along the drive that I hardly think I am towing a boat behind me. Gave me an extra spare tire as well.

by:

I bought these for my 2001 Starcraft pop up, that fully loaded was pushing the max load limit of the load range C tires, and I didn't have clearance for larger wheels and tires. These load range D tires are just what I needed since they have a 250 lb higher limit on each tire. I ordered these on a Saturday afternoon and they were delivered three days later.

The tires are perfect on my trailer. Hardly ever lose air and so trilled to have good rubber when I go across town. Really easy process on buying tires with a rim. No waiting at store installer and helped me learn to change my own tire. I tell people even lately about this business and how wonderful the experience has been. I used to have a raggedy $150.00 yard trailer someone built and neighbors would borrow until last neighbor called and told me he arrived with only the hitch clasp. Bought me a good trailer later and updated the wheels and tires and don’t worry about accidents so much when pulling a load. Thanks for helping me improve my responsibilities towards others on the road

  • Increasing Wheel/Tire Size on Carry-On Utility Trailer
    You do indeed have a 12 inch rim. When you measure the diameter of the wheel, you'll need to measure the diameter of he wheel where the tire bead meets the wheel. I've provided you a cutaway diagram of a wheel showing where the measurement would be taken. Given the tire size, you have a 12 inch rim. There are a few things you'd need to check before going with the larger 13 inch wheel w/ 175/80-13 tire. The 175/80-13 tire is approximately 3-1/2 inches larger in diameter, which would bring...

  • Trailer Tire Recommendation to Replace Tire Size P155/80R13
    The tire size you have is for passenger vehicles since it starts with the letter P. You shouldn't run that style of tire on a trailer so replacing what you have is the right move. We have a very similar size as 175/80-13 that is rated for trailer use. For a wheel and tire you'd want the part # AM31985 for if you have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern or part # AM3S040 for if you have a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern.

  • Difference Between a ST175/80D13 and a ST175/80R13 Trailer Tire
    The difference between the letter D in your ST175/80D13 and the R in the tire size of the Wheel and Tire ST175/80R13 part # AM31985 that you referenced is the tire construction. D stands for bias-ply which is a less preferred tire construction, whereas R stands for radial. Because of the construction of a radial tire, the tire has more flex and will allow for more ground contact. That will improve traction and better tread wear. It also gives the radial tire better stability. The radial...

  • Upgrading to Larger Tires on Lowes 2x6 Utility Trailer
    Hi Gary; since you flipped the axle on the trailer you probably have enough clearance but I would compare the larger tire to your current tires just to be sure. The Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" White Wheel # AM31985 can replace the 12" since the wheel has the same 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. This tire has an outer diameter of 24.1" and section width of 7" so compare that to whatever 12" tire you have. You need at least 3" on top and 2" on the inside for proper clearance.

  • Will The Kenda karrier ST175/80R13 Tires Have Enough Capacity For A 1995 Sea Ray 175 And Trailer?
    Hello Roger. The Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tires like part # AM31985 have a 1,650 lb max load rating. With two of them on the trailer you have a combined capacity of 3,300 lbs. With the boat being 2,050 lbs this leaves you with 1,250 lbs of capacity. I am not sure exactly how much the trailer weighs but I doubt you will be over 3,300 lbs total with the boat and trailer. So, the # AM31985 will work great for you as long as you are under 3,300 lbs total.

Other trailers have wheels that are lug-centric, the wheel is centered on when you tighten down the lug nuts.

    I would recommend staying with the 12 inch 5.30-12 tire, like the Kenda K353 Trailer Tire, item # AM10068, for a couple of reasons. First, going with the larger, higher capacity tire will provide a stiffer ride for your trailer suspension and trailer. This will cause wear on the suspension parts. Next, going with a higher capacity larger wheel and tire than recommended by the manufacturer or axle capacity makes the trailer suspension the weakest link in the system. If a failure occurs...

  • Replacement Tire Recommendation for an ST185/80R13 Size Tire on a Travel Trailer
    The load range D on the Loadstar ST185/80D13 # AM1ST79 actually gives you a higher weight rating than the C load range. For this size D is 1,710 lbs at 65 psi while C is 1,480 lbs at 50 psi. It doesn't hurt to have a tire that is rated for more weight and the benefit to this tire is that it has a max speed rating of 81 mph. If you need a wheel as well then I recommend part # AM3S331 as this is the same tire but it comes with a white wheel that has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. Bias tires,...

  • Difference Between Mini Mod Trailer Rim and Non-Mini Mod Trailer Wheel

I attached a picture that shows the difference between the two styles with the mini mod being labeled. The rims in the picture are # AM31985 and # AM31991.

  • Choosing Between Radial or Bias Ply Tires for Boat Trailer

If a lower pressure is used, the tires will have an unknown weight capacity which would lead to overloading which causes blowouts and premature tire wear. Assuming your tires are the correct size for your pop-up and are their combined weight rating meets or exceeds the GVWR of the pop-up,...

  • Can Trailer With ST145/R12 Tires be Upgraded to 13 Inch Tires
    We have ST145/R12 trailer tires with a load range E, the Kenda Karrier S-Trail # AM10140. If you wanted to go to a larger tire and wheel you could do so but you would need to ensure you have the needed clearance of about three inches from your trailer tire to rim and four inches to your trailer frame. A ST145/R12 tire like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail # AM10140 measures 21.3 inches in diameter when inflated and is 5.7 wide. The smallest 13 inch tire is ST175/80R13 quite a bit bigger, measuring...
