This combo is made for serious use on and off the pavement. The Loadstar ST235/75R15 radial tire has deep, rugged tread that digs into mud, snow, and loose ground while channeling water away for better traction in bad weather. It’s Load Range D (8-ply) with a 2,860-lb max load at 65 psi and a 99-mph (Q) speed rating. The radial build uses double steel belts and full nylon piles for long life and steady highway manners, so it’s just as capable on dirt as it is at high speed on asphalt.
Salt, rain, and road grime are no match for this aluminum wheel. Its black powder coat finish is paired with a protective clear coat on both sides to fend off rust, scuffs, and scratches. The aluminum construction keeps it lightweight yet durable, while the open-spoke design gives it a sharp, modern look that stays clean even after long seasons of use.
You don’t have to worry about wallowed-out holes or loose lug nuts. Steel inserts in the lug nut wells keep the wheel firmly seated on the hub and prevent wear around the bolt holes. That design eliminates the need for constant retightening and keeps the connection solid mile after mile.
Everything about this assembly is straightforward and stout. The wheel measures 15" diameter by 5" wide, has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, uses 1/2"-20 bolts, a 3.19" pilot diameter, and a 0 offset. It’s rated at 2,200 lbs per wheel—perfectly matched to the tire’s strength—so you get balanced durability across the whole setup. Both components meet Department of Transportation specifications for peace of mind every time you tow.
This setup comes backed by a 2-year limited warranty on the wheel, a 5-year limited warranty on the tire, and a 1-year worry-free guarantee that replaces the tire at no charge if it’s damaged within the first year. It’s protection that matches the rugged build quality built into every part of this assembly.
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"

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Kenda Loadstar ST235/75R15 Radial Off-Road Trailer Tire in a load range D. And it's mounted on this 15-inch gloss black machine aluminum trailer wheel with the five on four and a half inch bolt pattern. Now, this tire wheel assembly is ideal for trailers off-roading on mud or other uneven terrain, but it can also be used on highways and other paved roads. The wheel that it's on is an aluminum wheel, it's very durable, lightweight, and rustproof. And it's the AM03 series wheel, which if you look here, is an open five-spoke design with a gloss black finish.
But if you look at the edge of the spokes, you can see they have a machine finish to 'em. They do use a clear coat finish on the front, and even on the back of the wheel to protect it from scuffs and scratches. And one of the nice features I like on this wheel is, if you look in the lug nut wells where you put your lug nuts in to tighten 'em down, they do use steel inserts in there, and that's designed to help keep the wheel securely in place on the hub. It prevents the holes from wearing down, eliminates the need for constant re-tightening of your lug nuts. A few dimensions on the wheel, the diameter is 15 inches, the width on just the wheel is five inches wide.
This wheel does have a bolt pattern of five on four and a half inches. And the pilot hole diameter, which is the large hole here in the center of the wheel, diameter of that opening is 3.19 inches. Now if you notice, it does not come with a center cap. If you do want a center cap, we do sell those separate on out website, you just need to purchase one that'll fit the diameter of this opening, which is 3.19 inches. This does use a wheel lug size of a half inch by 20, and the weight capacity on just the wheel is 2,200 pounds.
The tire is the Kenda Loadstar special trailer-type Radial Tire, The radial tire is constructed, has double steel belts, full nylon plies for a nice long life. And if you look at the tread design of this, you'll notice it has the deep rugged tread blocks, and this is what gives it excellent grip in off-road conditions. We mentioned it's an ST tire, which stands for Special Trailer Tire. This has sturdy sidewalls so they could handle heavy loads, and it is created specifically for trailers, it's not intended for use on other vehicles. The tire size, which will be stamped on the tire, and it's right down here, ST, for special trailer, 235/75R15, the R means it's a radial tire.
Section width on this tire is 9.3 inches. Overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's inflated is 29 inches. And this tire is a load range D, which means it's an eight-ply rated tire, so it has a maximum load capacity of 2,860 pounds at 65 PSI. And I do wanna mention, it does come with a speed rating stamped on it, and they stamp it on the sidewall with a letter designation, and it's usually right after the tire size, you'll see two numbers for the load index, and on this one it says speed rating queue, speed rating queue will mean it's a 99-mile-per-hour speed rating. And this tire wheel assembly does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications. Well, that's gonna do it for the review on this Kenda Loadstar ST235/75R15 Radial Off-Road Trailer Tire, in a load range D, on this 15-inch, gloss black machined aluminum trailer wheel.

Ratings & Reviews
etrailer has amazing customer service. Love these new rims/tires. Big upgrade from the Original setup on my Travel trailer. Would absolutely suggest anyone buy these if you are in the market. Note: These are larger than most stock trailer tires, be sure that you have the clearance. I flipped my axle and got an extra 5 inches of clearance before putting these on.
Fantastic customer service and they showed up 3 days earlier than expecting
Love that this tire was available in a combo and shipped for free. I watched the product video about three different times before buying. The exact specs were very helpful.
Came when promised. Exactly what I ordered. Love them.
This is the start to my trailer build and is very exciting to get the first of 4 tires.
great tire and rime thanks
Great tire and wheel setup
Great product arrived exactly as described and very fast shipping. Thanks
Great product. Fast shipping
Filled out the wheel well after the camper had been lifted in order to get into Offroad areas. Drove from Maryland to New Mexico without any issues. Tires have held up well since purchase.
Trailering performance that I never thought possible! A great upgrade to factory original. On road and off road!
After having issues with the factory 205/75-14 tires on our trailer, found this combo reasonably priced on etrailer.com. Wasn't sure if I liked the wheel style but that was somewhat secondary, price point and tire features, such as speed rating, load capacity, tread style, size and pressure needed to be 65psi for my monitor system.
These fit the bill, our previous tires speed rating was 75mph, which while we don't typically travel at that speed, is too close for comfort.
The 99mph rating gives that comfort.
These tires have an aggressive deep off-road tread and fit well on our toy hauler, I got one as a spare because of the price and the aluminum wheel is lighter than the steel option.
Only have a few trips on these so far, they are working great, and to top it off, the wheels look pretty good on our trailer.
As always, everyone at etrailer.com are helpful, informative and courteous.
So far so good. Will be taking lifted 16’ RV up a very Rocky Mountain road in a few weeks and excited to see how these perform!
This set up has worked well on my teardrop trailer. They look great and gave me more ground clearance.
We had a great experience with our order. The initial item was not available for immediate shipping and was delayed for a few weeks(which would have been too late for our trip). George J reached put right away and suggested an alternative. When I called I spoke to Dietrich G who made a cancellation and reorder so easy. Thank you for all of your help. Our item arrived quick. We are super happy.
Tires replace OEM tires on 2022 TAB 320 Boondock. So far I have only 25 miles on them but sure they will work out just fine. I was after a tire with similar specs as the original but hopefully better quality. Not a lot of options in a trailer tire of this size.
etrailer was outstanding to work with and had my tires delivered in two days. I will continue to do business with them!
The reason for 4 stars is that They mount the tires with stickers on the visible side of the rim. These stickers are difficult to remove and unsightly for a brand new wheel and tire set up
Only other down side is that you need a thin wall socket to put the lug nuts on.
The tires seem at be decent quality and the rims arrived undamaged
Very aggressive look for my little trailer. Handles great on any terrain and I get lots of compliments! I'm getting ready to replace the 4 on my newest toy hauler to match.
