For long hauls or frequent weekend trips, this radial tire-and-wheel setup is designed to stay steady at highway speeds. The Kenda Karrier ST205/75R15 radial tire carries up to 1,820 lbs at 50 psi and has a speed rating of M (81 mph). The steel wheel is rated for 2,200 lbs, so together they deliver reliable performance for heavy loads while meeting DOT specifications.
Saltwater, rain, or road grime won’t get the best of this wheel. The 15" x 5" dark silver Galvstar steel wheel has a zinc coating, e-coat primer, and powder coat top layer for superior rust and oxidation resistance. That triple protection keeps the wheel looking clean and solid even after years of use.
This Kenda Karrier special trailer radial tire combines double steel belts with full nylon plies for strength and durability. The computer-generated tread design and premium rubber compound give it excellent traction in wet or dry conditions. Less rolling resistance and heat buildup mean a smoother ride and longer tread life when the miles start adding up.
No extra steps needed—this assembly comes pre-mounted and inflated so it’s ready to bolt on right out of the box. With an easy-fitting 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, 0 offset, and 3.19" pilot diameter, installation is straightforward.
If the tire is damaged within the first 12 months, it’s replaced at no charge under Kenda’s one-year worry-free guarantee. That’s backed by a five-year warranty on the tire and a limited two-year warranty on the wheel for long-term confidence in your setup.
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"

Welcome back, etrailer neighbors. I'm Steven, and today we're looking at this Kenda Karrier 205/7515 Radial Tire with the Silver Galv Star Wheel. So this particular tire wheel assembly is ideal for stock trailers, utility trailers, campers, that kind of stuff. Again, not for vehicle use, strictly trailer camper only. It does have a very nice dark silver finish. It's gonna have superior oxidation protection with the zinc coat, the E-coat and that powder coat all into one.
So very nice finish. Hoping you can kind of see that with the shadow and the light and whatnot. It's kind of like a little hammered kind of finish, if you are used to that kind of terminology. The hammered paint finish. Very nice.
It's got a very nice tread pattern here. And with these guys, they use a computer generated tread design. So they've tested these tread patterns over time with computer models and in the, you know, their test facilities and whatnot, and they've determined these are the best ones for the traction. So that being said, again, it is a 15 inch rim diameter. The diameter of the rim itself, if you had no tire on there, it would be five inches wide.
It is what they call a five lug on four and a half inch pattern. And I'm gonna kind of come to the front here and show you. So on a odd number lug, you want to take one lug, measure directly across in between two other lugs, directly across center to center, and that's your measurement. So in this one it's five on four and a half inch lug pattern. Make sure you're checking that.
You can go to etrailer.com, check our website. We've got pictures with diagrams that show you how to measure that. That's probably honestly the number one thing that tires get returned for. They didn't measure that lug pattern. They just said, oh, I got five lugs, and they order one that's the right size. But unfortunately that lug pattern is just enough different that it won't fit their trailer camper. So again, check out etrailer.com, make sure you get the right lug pattern measurement. Now, the holes inside of that rim are half inch. That's usually a half inch by 20 inch or half inch by 20 thread count on those lugs. The wheel is rated itself at 200 or 2,200 pounds. It has a zero offset, so everything's centered up there in the middle of the rim. As far as a pilot hole diameter, inside here you got 3.19 inches across. Again, the tire, the 205/75 15. The section width, so the width of the tire face here all the way across, that is 8 point, or sorry, 8 and 1/8 inches. And then the outer diameter of this tire all the way across is 27 and 5/16 from side to side on the outer diameter. It's a load range C, six ply tire. It is rated at 1,820 pounds at 50 PSI. It does have a max speed rating of 81 miles per hour. So I know you guys aren't gonna go that fast because we all go to the posted speed limit, right Exactly. Keep it safe out there. So a five year warranty on the tire itself, two year on the rim itself. This again is the Kenda Loadstar Tire 205/75 R 15 with that Silver Galv Star Wheel. I'm Steven with etrailer.com. I hope this helps you with your decision if you're just upgrading tires or simply replacing them. Again, Kenda is a very good brand. You'll be happy with your purchase. Have a great day.

We have sold a lot of these and this is the first time I have heard a complaint about them. Especially one this serious. I will say that a tire forming an oval shape is typically due to internal structural damage, often caused by severe impacts from potholes, curbs, or road debris. This breaks internal cords and allows air to leak and/or form a bulge, like you are seeing. Are you travelling rough roads, by chance? And also, what psi are you running them at?
