Video Transcript for Review of Kenda Trailer Tires and Wheels - Karrier KR35 ST235/80R16 Radial Black Alum - KE28TJ

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Kenda Karrier KR35 ST235/80R16 Load Range E radial trailer tire mounted on this 16-inch black aluminum AM08 wheel. Now, this trailer tire and wheel combo is gonna be a convenient, ready to install package that's going to come with the tire already mounted on this aluminum wheel. And this is a stylish black machined aluminum wheel, so it's gonna save you the hassle of having the wheel and the tire assembled separately. It's basically gonna be ready to go right outta the box.

Now, as I mentioned at the beginning of our time together and as we have stamped here on our tire, this is an ST235/80R16 radial trailer tire. And this tire is designed specifically for trailers and not for vehicles. This is a load range E tire, and it's rated to carry up to 3,500 pounds at 90 PSI. So this is gonna be a solid choice for those heavier utility, equipment, boat, or travel trailers. And of course, that radial construction's gonna help this tire run cooler on the highway, which is gonna reduce heat buildup, promote more even tread wear, and it can help extend the life of your tire as well.

Now for traction, this tire uses Kenda's KR35 all-season tread design which features channels that's gonna help move water away from the contact patch. That's gonna help improve wet road performance and give you more confidence when you're towing in those rainy conditions. Now, this aluminum wheel, when you measure the diameter, measuring bead seat to bead seat is 16-inches. The width of the wheel is 6-inches. And as I mentioned, this does feature this black machined finish that's gonna give you a clean, modern look while also resisting corrosion better than many steel wheels.

This wheel itself is rated for up to 3,580 pounds, but you are limited by the lowest rated component, so that's the tire at 3,500 pounds. And a few other pieces of information about this wheel. The bolt pattern is six on 5 1/2-inches. And if you need help figuring out how to measure the bolt pattern on your trailer, on this product page a little bit lower down, we actually walk you through step by step how you can measure your bolt pattern, whether you have an odd or an even bolt hole pattern. So do make sure that you measure the bolt hole pattern on your trailer to make sure that this is going to work for your trailer.

If you think you might need some help getting this installed on your trailer, we can help you with that. On this product page, typically found underneath the photo section, we have a link that will take you to our installer locator. Click that link and answer the questions that it has for you, and that locator will find an installer in your area that etrailer has partnered with to get this installed for you. I think it's gonna wrap up our look today. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

Got this tire as a spare for our camper and the rim is a perfect match , different tire make but threads almost look identical also.
by:
Exactly what I needed at a fair price. Shipping was fast and on time.
by:
Fast delivery and great updates provided for my order. My trailer wheels were packaged in a box,they arrived timely and free from damage. Great experience. Make sure to get lug nuts (tapered) if you're converting from steel wheels to aluminum.

New wheels look great Ed, thanks for including the picture! What body of water are you usually out playing on?

by:
The gloss black finish with red pinstripes really pops against the faded satin black paint and red lettering on my Better Built tilt car hauler. Delivery was quick and all four tires had the same date code from 2025. I read another review where the author lamented trying to peel the stickers off the tire sidewalls. I found taking a heat gun set on low helpful for removing them and leaving no residue. Before installing the wheels I will be going through the suspension and ordering and upgrade kit.

It's almost like these wheels were made to me mounted on your trailer, Keith. Also good luck on the suspension upgrade once you tackle that job. What kind of upgrade were you looking at going, equalizer, shackle upgrade, or all of the above?

by:
Fit and finish were great. I had to replace my wheel studs though to fit these thicker aluminum wheels vs my prior steel wheels. I wish the description would have made that more clear in terms of the required exposed thread length, but it was an easy job to do.
by:
Really happy with this replacement tire for my 2016 Tracker Pro Guide V16 trailer. I ended up blowing one of the tires and had to replace it anyway. When I saw these I figured I could get away from the pitted Chrome rims that it came with and have it match my 21 Tacoma TRD Pro. They look awesome. Little pricey but you get what you pay for.
by:
Very nice wheel and tire combo and as always excellent customer service and fast shipping. My only complaint is that I wish a little common sense was used in placement of the large industrial grade adhesive sticker they put on the the front face of the tire. It could have easily been put on the back side of the tire and no issue.
by:
What an amazing upgrade.
Not only do these wheels and tires look fantastic on my trailer; they arrived in less than 24 hours from when I placed my order.
Great product, excellent service!!!!
What’s not to love about etrailer.com?
by:
Perfect look and good price and free shipping
by:
Love em. Better tires than what the RV manufacturer provided and way better looking wheels. They did great on a 4 hour drive with my 4k lb camper. Only minor issue is my 4-way lug wrench didn’t fit in so I had to use a deep well with breaker bar.

New wheels are looking sharp Rey! What body of water do you mainly get out on? I am in Missouri and enjoy my nice days out on the boat fishing for bass at Lake of the Ozarks and Mark Twain Lake.

by:
They are great however I would recommend longer lug nuts instead of the basic standard ones
by:
Wheels look great and delivery was fast. Exactly what I was wanting.

Those look fantastic Mitch, thanks for the photo!!

Wheels & Tires arrived BEFORE the estimated delivery date. I didn't have an opportunity to mount them until several days after they got here, but I had to open the boxes to see what they looked like. Very impressed with the wheels and the tires were just as I expected. Mounted them yesterday, regret that I didn't go ahead and order lug nuts since I had to go to 3 stores to find chrome ones. Mounting was easy, they look great on the pontoon boat trailer. I'm positive that they will improve the pullability of the trailer. I went from 13's to 14's and the larger size fits really well and makes the trailer look better. The overall price/value speed of delivery was outstanding. I would give 6 stars if they would have taken the old wheels off and put the ones on. LOL

Brad, thanks for the great review. We’ll definitely be aiming for those 6 star reviews lol Thanks again for choosing etrailer!

by:
Got it for a spare for a tracker Boat trailer which matched the rims on the trailer. The only difference is the trailer rims were all black.
by:
My tires mounted on rims arrived as indicated on time packed individually in their own box so no damage could happen during shipping. Not like some tires I bought were they just come strapped on top of each other with no box at all. Overall, the rims and tires are exactly what I thought they would be as advertised by E trailer. Like the black on silver rim can’t wait to put them on my boat trailer and see how they look. I went with the D rated instead of a C rating this time so I can load the boat a little heavier with gear. I love the look at the tires. It looks dirty strong at 70 pounds. There’s only one thing that I did not care for on rims. The inset where the lug nuts go Is deeper than I would like it to be. Although I’m using custom longer acorn lug nuts only about half of the lug nuts are exposed to put a socket onto to remove or tighten. We’ll see how that goes but overall great experience with E trailer would purchase tires and rims from them again. Great service good products.

Would absolutely love to see how everything looks once the wheels are on. Also, how custom are your custom lug nuts? is it just the length or is there something else to them?

by:
Good deal on tire wheel combo. Boat trailer looks much better with these. Tires handle very well
by:
I purchased new tires and wheels and I couldn't be happier. They arrived fast and look great. The only complaint I could have is to put the stickers on the tread or inside sidewall as it left residue and came off in lots of small pieces that were tough to peel off. Other than that im very happy.
by:
I received exactly as i ordered. I like the wheels and tires but unfortunately i had a little bit of rubbing so i had to return them and get a new set (my fault). I have to add that etrailer service is one of the best if not the best. From ordering, tracking, following up and helping me return an oder. will purchase again if the opportunity rises.
by:
Always satisfied with etrailer and the products they carry. Great looking tires and wheel combo. Always fast shipping. Just a great company to deal with!
by:
Arrived quickly and is the exact same wheel with a better tire that is on my new trailer. Perfect spare tire. Thank you
by:
The gunmetal aluminum wheels and Americana lug nuts are exactly what our new boat trailer needed. And they were delivered much faster than expected! Thanks!
by:
I've used Kenda trailer tires previously, and these KR35's are just excellent. You can see how well-made they are, especially for the money.
by:
I am very happy with the tire and rim package and how quickly it shipped and got to my house! I am working on my old boat, and I’m starting with the trailer… This made a great improvement! Thanks for your great service!

  • Recommended Chrome Wheel Center Cap for a 3.75" Pilot Hole
    You're welcome John! For a center cap that fits the Kenda Karrier KR35 ST235/80R16 LRE Radial Trailer Tire w/ 16" Black Aluminum AM08 item # KE28TJ you purchased, you'll need the Americana item # KE95JV. The Americana Wheel Center Cap item # KE95JV is made of chrome plated steel and fits a 3.75" pilot hole. It has a removeable center plug that allows you to easily remove and grease a EZ lube style axle. I attached a few pictures below of the Americana Wheel Center Cap item # KE95JV below...

  • Will The Kenda ST235/80R16 Tire And Wheel Work As A Spare For My 11,500 Lb Camper?
    Hello Gary, Welcome to etrailer, I'm glad you found us! Yes, the Kenda Karrier # KE28TJ has plenty of capacity for your 11,500 lb camper. The tire is rated for 3,500 lbs at 90 psi, and the wheel is rated for 3,580 lbs. With four tires, you also won't have the camper's entire 11,500 lbs divided between just those four tires. Some of that weight is carried by your tow vehicle as tongue weight, so the actual load on each trailer tire will be less. The big thing you will want to verify...
