This tire has a 1-year worry-free guarantee. If within the first 12 months the tire is damaged in any way, it will be replaced at no charge.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
Measuring the distance from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

Hi, everyone. Steven here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at this Kenda Karrier KR53 tire and wheel assembly. It's an ST235-80R16 radial trailer tire with a nice elegant 16 inch black mod wheel with an 8 on 6 1/2 inch lug pattern. Now, this tire wheel assembly is gonna be ideal for stock trailers, utility trailers, campers, those kind of things. Now that being said, it has been created specifically for trailers, and therefore, it's not intended for use on other vehicles.
Now, the steel wheel here that you're seeing is a 16 inch diameter that's bead seat to bead seat, and it is 6 inch wide on the width. It has a center pilot hole of 4.90 inches. It's rated at 3,750 pounds on the wheel capacity. And if you see these round circles on the outside, that's what's called the mod or modular design. It has a nice e-coat primer with a black powder coat finish.
So you can see it's got that nice brilliant shine to it. Very nice dark, deep black color there with a nice shine. And I like how they've done the inside of the wheel as well. Not all brands do that. Some brands just do the outside that you see.
So very nice touch. Now, the sidewalls on this tire itself have been engineered and built for enhanced durability and resistance to ozone exposure. So UV rays, those kind of things. It is a nice computer-optimated wide tread design on the tread itself. And they've used premium rubber compound materials that offers pure traction in both wet and dry conditions.
This whole wheel and tire assembly meets all DOT specifications. And as you know, again, it's an ST tire. That just means it's a special trailer tire, so it's low weight, it's gonna provide better fuel economy on long trips and those kind of things. It's a load range E, which means it's a 10-ply tire. The outer diameter when it's fully inflated, like you see before me, is 30.6 inches. And zooming back in, I don't know if you notice, but it actually has a nice steel valve assembly there, which is a nice touch as well. So a lot heavier duty than the basic rubber ones. The speed range rating is speed range N, and that is 87 miles per hour. So please, let's make sure we're, number one, following the rules of the road. But the number one failure for tires is excessive heat. So make sure you're obeying all the rules of the road, number one, but number two, the speed ratings on all your tires. Now, this whole capacity when combined like it is now is rated for 3,520 pounds at 85 PSI. Now, as far as the lug pattern, again, it's an 8 lug on 6 1/2 inch, and you can use both half inch or 9/16 inch wheel bolt sizes. Well folks, that's gonna wrap it up for our quick look together. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
