Video Transcript for Review of Kenda Trailer Tires and Wheels - Karrier KR53 ST205/75R15 Radial Black Mod - KE32EV

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this Kenda Karrier KR53 ST205/75R15 load range C radial trailer tire with this 15-inch black mod steel wheel with a five on five-inch bolt pattern. This tire and wheel assembly is gonna be great for your stock trailers, utility trailers and campers. This KR53 special trailer radial tire or ST radial tire is low weight, providing better fuel economy on long trips. It is created specifically for trailers, and this is not intended for use on other vehicles.

The sidewalls have been engineered for enhanced durability and resistance to ozone exposure, and the computer enhanced or computer optimized wide tread design and premium rubber compound materials are gonna give you superior traction in wet or dry conditions. Now as I mentioned at the beginning of our time together, and as we have stamped here on our tire, this is an ST205/75R15, and the section width is 7.8 inches, and the outer diameter when fully inflated is 26.9 inches. This is a load range C, meaning it has a six-ply rating. The maximum load is 1,820 pounds at 50 PSI. And this has a speed rating of N, indicating the maximum speed of 87 miles per hour.

This steel wheel with this modular design is sturdy and corrosion resistant. The wheel went through a two-step finishing process that includes an e-coat primer and then black powder coat finish. And the beveled stud holes here are going to keep your wheel securely in place on the trailer hub, eliminating the need to constantly retighten your lug nuts. And the measurements of our wheel, looking at the diameter first, measuring bead seat to bead seat, and of course, as you know, the bead seat is where the tire actually meets the wheel. So that diameter is 15 inches, and the width of the wheel is five inches.

And this does have a bolt pattern of five on five inches. And as you know, the first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes, and the second number is the diameter in inches of the circle on which the bolt holes sit. So to determine the bolt circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, as we have here, you're simply gonna measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. The capacity of our wheel is 2,200 pounds. The wheel stud sides is a half an inch by 20.

The center cap is sold separately, but if you decide to pick one up, you just wanna make sure that it fits the pilot diameter of 3.19 inches. And this tire and wheel assembly does meet the Department of Transportation specifications. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our brief look today. I do hope that our time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
