This combo is built for serious towing. The Kenda Loadstar 215/60-8 bias tire carries 1,165 lbs at 70 psi and is rated for speeds up to 81 mph (speed rating M). The matching 8" x 7" steel wheel shares the same capacity, so you get consistent performance across the setup. Both meet Department of Transportation specs, giving you the confidence to run highway miles or long hauls without worry.
Salt, humidity, and water won’t stop this wheel. The steel rim is fully galvanized, adding a protective zinc layer that resists rust even in coastal or wet conditions. That means less time battling corrosion and more time towing with a wheel that stays solid year after year.
This tire-and-wheel assembly arrives already mounted and aired up to proper pressure. It saves time and money since there’s no need for separate mounting or balancing before use. The setup is designed for smooth tracking and a steady ride from day one - just bolt it on and head out.
The bias construction uses thick nylon cords set at a 30- to 45-degree angle in alternating layers. This crisscross pattern creates stiff sidewalls that let the whole tire flex together, giving you stable handling and a smoother tow over rough or uneven surfaces.
Matching your hubs is easy with this wheel’s standard 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, 2.8" pilot diameter, and zero offset. The wheel bolt size is 1/2"-20, so you’ll want 1/2"-20 lug nuts with a 60-degree conical seat, like the Americana AM90049 acorn-style lug nuts, sold separately. When inflated, the tire measures 8.9" wide with an 18.1" outer diameter - clear numbers that make checking space and fit simple before mounting.
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.
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).
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

Perfect. Still no leaks no wear and no rust. Nothing, just what we all hope for in a trailer tire.
