When you’re towing serious weight on long stretches of highway, this setup gives you the muscle and speed confidence to match. The Kenda Karrier KR53 ST235/80R16 radial tire carries a 3,520-lb maximum load at 85 psi, paired with a 16" x 6" steel wheel rated for 3,750 lbs. With a Load Range E (10-ply rating) and an N speed rating for 87 mph, it’s built to handle heat, distance, and heavy cargo without flinching—all while meeting DOT specs.
Road grime, rain, and even saltwater won’t get the best of this wheel. The steel modular design is finished with a two-step process that starts with an e-coat primer and ends with a black powder coat. It’s the kind of finish that keeps rust at bay and looks sharp season after season.
The KR53 radial tire uses a computer-optimized wide tread pattern and premium rubber compound to keep traction steady no matter the conditions. The low-weight design helps improve fuel economy on longer trips, while the sidewalls are engineered for durability and resistance to ozone exposure. It’s a reliable, balanced feel that holds steady on the road.
No need for extra shop time or mounting fees—this tire comes pre-mounted and properly inflated. Just bolt it on and go. The assembly’s 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern, 4.90" pilot diameter, and compatibility with 1/2"-20 or 9/16"-18 wheel bolts make installation straightforward when you’re swapping in a spare or replacement.
Things happen out on the road, but Kenda’s got you covered. If this tire is damaged in any way within the first 12 months, it will be replaced at no charge. That’s solid reassurance for anyone who racks up miles with their trailer.
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"

That's no good at all, Greg! If you haven't mounted them yet, and if you want, I have have replacement shipped out. Let me know and I can get that taken care of.
