When you’re towing serious weight, you want a setup that doesn’t flinch. This radial tire-and-wheel assembly is rated for 2,860 lbs at 65 psi with an 8-ply rating (Load Range D). The radial construction uses double steel belts and full nylon piles for a long life, while the Q speed rating (99 mph) means it’s ready for real highway speeds on extended hauls.
Off the pavement or on it, the deep tread pattern channels water away to keep traction strong in wet, snowy, or icy conditions. It’s tough enough for mud and uneven terrain but still smooth and stable on regular roads. That balance makes it a dependable choice when your route changes from gravel to asphalt.
The 15" x 6" aluminum wheel isn’t just lightweight—it’s built to fight rust. The black powder coat and clear coat finish protect against scuffs and scratches while keeping corrosion at bay. Even after seasons of use in damp or salt-heavy conditions, the wheel’s clean look holds up.
Frequent retightening gets old fast. Steel inserts in the lug nut wells help keep this wheel seated firmly on the hub, preventing wear in the bolt holes that can lead to loosening over time. It’s a small detail that adds up to fewer headaches and more consistent performance mile after mile.
This tire-and-wheel assembly meets Department of Transportation specifications for highway use. It includes 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.
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, mounted on this 15 inch gloss black machined aluminum trailer wheel with the six on 5 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Now this tire and 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 it's on is an aluminum wheel. It's very durable and lightweight and rust proof. And it is the AM03 series wheel, which is an open six spoke design with a gloss black finish.
What's unique is if you look at the opening of the spokes, they actually have a machine finish around the edge of the spokes, and they do do a clear coat finish on the front and even on the back to help protect from scuffs and scratches. Now one of the nice features I like on this wheel is in the lug nut welds here. They use steel inserts to help keep the wheel securely in place on your trailer hub. Basically when you install this onto your hub, you put this up on the studs, and then when you put the lug nuts in there and go to tighten them down, it'll help prevent those holes from wearing down, eliminates the need for constant retightening of your lug nuts. Now the dimension on the wheel, the diameter is 15 inches.
The width on just the wheel is six inches wide. It does have a bolt pattern of six on 5 1/2 inches. And the large hole here in the middle, that's the pilot hole. The diameter on that opening is 3.74 inches. And also, if you notice, it does not come with a center cap.
If you do want a center cap, we do sell those separately on our website. And when you purchase the center cap, you do wanna make sure to get one that'll have the same diameter of this pilot hole, which is 3.74 inches. This does use a wheel lug size of 1/2 inch by 20. And the weight capacity on just the wheel by itself is 2,960 pounds. The tire used is a Kenda Loadstar special trailer radial tire.
The radial tire is constructed with double steel belts, has full nylon plies for nice long life, and if you look at the tread design, has the deep rugged tread blocks that'll give you the excellent grip in any off-road conditions. We mentioned it's an ST tire, which stands for Special Trailer tire, has the sturdy sidewall so it can handle heavy loads, and it is created specifically for trailers. It's not intended for use on other vehicles. Now the tire size, which will be stamped on the sidewall, right here, it'll say ST for special trailer 235/75R15. The R means it's a radial tire. Section width on this, 9.3 inches. Overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's inflated is 29 inches. And this is a load range D, which means it's an eight ply rated tire. Has a maximum load capacity of 2,860 pounds at 65 PSI. And they do put a speed rating on the tires now, and they're stamped on the sidewall with a letter designation. And where you'll find it, right after the tire size we just went over, you'll see two numbers for the load index and then the letter Q. Speed rating Q means this has a 99 mile per hour speed rating. And this tire and wheel assembly does meet the DOT Department of Transportation specifications. But that should do it for the review on the Kenda Loadstar ST235/75R15 radial off-road trailer tire in a load range D on the 15 inch gloss black machined aluminum trailer wheel.

12000 miles, one nail repair, and they are going to last another 12000! Ive gone to the east coast twice now, and off road in Arizona. I will swear by these tires. They still look new!
