When you’re carrying serious weight or logging highway miles, this setup is made to hold steady. The Karrier ST235/80R16 radial tire has a 10-ply rating and a 3,197-lb max load at 90 psi. Paired with a heavy-duty steel wheel rated for 3,860 lbs, it’s built for long-distance reliability at up to 81 mph (speed rating M). Both meet DOT specs so you can roll with confidence on every run.
The hub-piloted steel wheel uses a ±5.35" offset that lets it work as either the inner or outer wheel in a dual setup. That means you get perfect spacing whether it’s sitting closer to the trailer frame or toward the outside. The hub-piloted design centers on the hub and uses flange nuts (sold separately) for installation, giving you a solid fit every time.
Road grime and weather can wear out cheap finishes fast, but not this one. The steel wheel is coated in black powder over an e-coat primer for tough corrosion resistance. It looks sharp and stays protected against rust season after season, even in wet or humid environments.
This ST radial tire is built for the road with cords set at 90° to the direction of travel, reducing rolling resistance and heat buildup compared to bias designs. The result is a smoother ride, better tread life, and improved tracking at higher speeds—just what you want when towing long distances in hot conditions.
If anything happens to your tire in the first twelve months, it’s replaced at no charge. That’s backed up by a 5-year limited warranty on the tire and a 2-year limited warranty on the wheel, so you can hit the road knowing your gear is covered from day one.
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"

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this Kenda Karrier ST 2 35 80 R 16 load range, E radial trailer tire with 16 inch black dual wheel. This special trailer tire or ST Tire has sturdy sidewalls so that it can handle heavy loads. This is created specifically for trailers and not intended for use on other vehicles. As you know, radial ply tires are designed for trailers that are towed on the highway and this radial tire is constructed with double steel belts and full nylon ply that combined for superior function and long life.
The computer generated tread design and premium rubber compound materials are gonna give you superior traction in wet or dry conditions. So as I mentioned at the beginning of our time together, and as we have stamped here on our tire, and you probably won't be able to see it here, but we have it stamped right here. This is an ST 2 35 80 R 16. The section width of this tire is 9.4 inches, and the outer diameter when this is fully inflated, is 30.9 inches. This is a load range E, meaning it has a 10 ply rating.
The maximum load is 3,197 pounds at 90 PSI. And this has a speed rating of N indicating the maximum speed of 81 miles per hour. This tire does meet the Department of Transportation specifications and this heavy duty black steel wheel with 1, 2, 3, 4 hand holes. It's designed to be used in dual wheel setups. Now this wheel does have a high offset, so it does allow for the wheel to be used as either an inner wheel as I have it in this orientation or an outer wheel in this orientation, on a dual wheel set up, the offset is either a positive or negative 5.35 inches.
And this steel wheel is sturdy, it's corrosion resistant. It features a black powder coat finish over an eco primer, and this is a hub piloted wheel, which means that it will center on the hub of the axle, not on the rugs. The pilot hole diameter is 4.77 inches, and this does require the use of flange nuts for installation. We do sell those separately here at etrailer.com and this does use a wheel lug size of 5/8 of an inch by 18 flange nut. We do have a metal valve right here, a metal valve stem that's already installed in that wheel and the dimensions of this wheel.
Looking at the diameter first, measuring bead seat to bead seat where that tire actually sits in that wheel, this is 16 inches in diameter. And then the width, again from beat seat to beat seat where that tire is sitting in that wheel, makes contact with that wheel. It's 6 inches wide, so 16 inches diameter by 6 inch wide. The wheel has a capacity of 3,860 pounds and the bolt pattern is eight on six and a half inches. So in case you don't know the first number and the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes, and then the second number is the diameter and inches of the circle on which the bolt holes sit. So to determine the bolt circle diameter on wheels with an even number of bolt holes as we have here, you're simply going to measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the bolt hole directly across from it. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
