Built for serious towing, the Karrier ST185/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" Aluminum Wheel keeps its cool on long hauls. The 8-ply, Load Range D tire carries up to 1,710 lbs at 65 psi and is rated for 81 mph (speed rating M). Double steel belts and full nylon plies help it stay stable and run cooler at highway speeds, giving you dependable performance when you’re loaded down and covering real miles.
This combo pairs the Kenda Karrier tire with a 13" x 4-1/2" aluminum wheel that’s made to fight corrosion. The gunmetal gray finish looks sharp, while the clear coat on both sides protects against scuffs, scratches, and salt exposure. It’s rustproof, lightweight, and strong enough for a wheel capacity of 1,740 lbs—an ideal match for anyone who wants durability without giving up a clean look.
No need to schedule a mounting appointment. The tire arrives already mounted on the wheel so you can bolt it on and hit the road right away. The wheel’s steel inserts in the lug nut wells keep everything tight by preventing wear around the holes, meaning you won’t be constantly checking for loose nuts after a few trips.
Radial ply construction keeps this setup rolling smooth on pavement. The cords sit at a 90-degree angle to travel direction to cut rolling resistance and heat buildup. That means better tread life, improved steering response, and traction that feels planted in wet or dry conditions—exactly what you want when towing at speed on busy highways.
Kenda covers this assembly with a 1-year worry-free guarantee that replaces the tire if it’s damaged within the first year, plus a 2-year limited warranty overall. It’s solid peace of mind knowing your investment is protected 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"

Perfect fit for my trailer
Had a delay on receiving the right order, pulled wrong in shipping. I called e-trailer that afternoon and found a fantastic customer service rep named Virginia answering the phone. She handled the mix up with ease, placed a correct order while I was on the phone with her, and I received the tires/wheel combo within a few days. Mix ups happen in this ol world but it's the undervalued customer service reps who make a bad situation pleasant with outstanding old fashioned customer service! Thank you, Virginia & e-trailer for your service. The product quality? Aluminum upgrade wheels with Kendra 8 ply radials scheduled for our vessel later this week will surely add piece of mind on our travels to the coast with a little style to boot.

No issues at all. Good tire and wheel combo for my double jetski trailer.
Definitely handle the highway speeds
These wheels look great! Big improvement over stock rims. Quick receipt and everything was as advertised.
The website and staff were great in helping me find tires and wheels to fit my 2001 Tracker Trailstar trailer. The old tires were no longer made, and standard replacements wouldn't fit the fenders. The new wheels and tires fit perfectly and look great. They arrived promptly in perfect condition.
Bought this tire as a spare for my Karavan utility trailer. Needed something with a high speed rating (81 MPH). The item was as anticipated and should meet my needs. The reps were courteous and helpful when I placed the order, which arrived on the day they said it would. Manufacturing date showed tire was almost exactly one year old when I received it. No complaints!
I've put about 1000 Miles on these since I put them on my ShoreLand'r boat trailer last year, no complaints here. The wheels look a lot nicer than the factory steel wheels that came on my trailer, the tires are holding up as expected, and they are mounted well from the factory, no leaks. I did have to put longer lug studs on my trailer to make these work as I could only catch about 2-3 threads on the original studs, just something to look out for.
Awesome tires
Just received 2 of them today and they look great especially for the price. They should be a nice upgrade to the factory rims and tires on my double jetski trailer
Came in perfect condition!
Perfect fit and almost perfect match to rims on Karavan trailer.
Ordering from etrailer was quick and easy as always. Shipping was fast and prices are the best. I replaced my six year old galvanized rims and bias tires for these aluminum rims and radial higher quality tires. They look great on the Jon boat trailer. Now I can use the old ones that still look new for spares. I went up two tire sizes from the original painted rims and tires which makes the trailer ride much better. The only reason I did not give it five stars is the tires were 18 months old off the shelf.

The tiresand rims still look like great and the boat pulls awesome.
A little disappointed with the delivery as the tires were delivered by USPS 1 day late but not the end of the world. Overall very pleased with the initial look of the wheels however very disappointed with the age of the tires from week 25 of 2022 versus it currently being June of 2024 meaning of the 5 year manufacturer warranty advertised on e-trailer I only get 3 years as the manufacturer warranty as the date goes from the DOT date stamped on the tire. Only 64 percent of the warranty is still left... I understand the tires being 6 months or even as much as a year old but nearly 2 years old is excessive.
Good looking set and worked out very well. As expected!!

Great
Easy experience, great looking wheel with good quality tire
Perfect fit, nice look and seem more durable than the original wheels/tires that came with trailer. I like that is a slightly better PSI capacity. Wife said, "the trailer doesn't look as cheap as before" I put about 75 miles on them for the first trip and they performed great.

After a year, zero complaints. Tred is holding up well, the tires hold air consistently. Would recommend buying! Have driven
Look to be a quality tire and wheel com bo
I pulled 4,500 miles over 3 weeks on the first trip. Filled to recommended pressures. Tires tracked perfectly, did not overheat and no abnormal wear. Very satisfied.
The rim and tire combination looks great and seems well-made, but I was disappointed that the tire I received was manufactured in 2022. When buying new, especially from a well-known retailer like Etrailer, I expect products that haven't already aged significantly on the shelf. Tires have a limited service life, and even when stored properly, the aging process doesn't stop — it only slows down. Claims about temperature-controlled storage and protection from UV exposure don't change the fact that this tire is already over two years old, which puts me at a disadvantage.
I understand that trailer tires don’t always move quickly off the shelf, but that’s precisely why retailers need to be more transparent about manufacturing dates and do a better job managing inventory. I paid full price expecting a fresh tire, not one already nearing the halfway mark of its expected lifespan. I can only hope to get five years of reliable use at this point, but I have doubts.
This seems to be a widespread issue across the industry, but I didn’t expect it from Etrailer. Moving forward, I’d encourage better date visibility at the point of purchase and stronger inventory rotation practices. Customers deserve to know exactly what they’re buying.
Very please with the look of these tires and wheels. Easy swap with the old tires and wheels. Looks like a new rig. The only thing to be aware of is the thickness of these wheels. If you are switching from original factory steel wheels, make sure you have enough thread length to get the new wheels firmly attached.
Direct replacement for my tires!!!!

They look great on there, James! What kind of camper did you install them on?
Great price and Shipped super fast. My first shipment email link did not work to see the shipping. I emailed my assigned customer service rep Adam S. He responded almost immediately with all the shipping links to UPS. Mounted them and they look great.

New tires and wheels look fantastic Robert! I passed along your review to Adam as well. What body of water do you mainly get your boat out on? We are located in Missouri, you can catch me at the Lake of the Ozarks or Mark Twain Lake chasing that 10 pound bass =)
ETrailer has great shipping and boxes with tires were well boxed and appears no damage, trial fit one tire which went on well and looks like I’ll need lug nuts which I asked about but since ETrailer doesn’t give discounts to Veterans, I figured I would buy elsewhere. The tires, great appearance, great date code on tire! The gray rims were WAY lighter in color than what ETrailers pictures show online, I really wanted darker to match the boat more but they still look nice and appear to be a great set but if you buy these, the gray is much lighter in person than online! Overall, yea it’s not a bad price for combo, it provides ease of one stop shop but sorry, your Company could be a little more relaxed at least offering a small discount to veterans… 10% is not gonna affect ETrailers profit or margin! Its my opinion and trying to be honest and informational for your Customers ETrailer, I signed the blank check and provided feed back so others can be informed! Wouldn’t let me upload a last photo.
