When you’re hauling serious weight, this setup brings heavy-duty confidence. The ST235/80R16 tire carries a Load Range E rating and supports up to 3,100 lbs at 85 psi in dual-wheel use. Its reinforced radial construction keeps the tread stable and even under load, so you can tow without second-guessing your capacity.
No extra steps or shop visits needed. The Kenda Karrier KR53 arrives already mounted on a 16" dual steel wheel and properly inflated, saving time and getting you back on the road faster. Just line up your lugs, bolt it on, and go—everything’s seated and balanced for dependable performance from the start.
Durability starts with the foundation. This combo uses a dual-style steel wheel rated for 3,960 lbs per wheel, built with an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern and -0.5" offset for proper spacing in tandem positions. The black powder-coated finish helps resist corrosion while keeping a clean look that lasts through years of hard use.
Long trips put heat into a tire, but the KR53 radial stays cooler and wears evenly mile after mile. Its low rolling resistance helps maintain fuel efficiency while delivering steady tracking and grip on the highway. The result is smoother handling and tread life you can count on across long stretches of pavement.
Kenda stands behind this one from day one. If the tire fails under normal use during the first year, it’ll be replaced—no guesswork or hassle. Combined with a limited 2-year wheel warranty, this setup gives you confidence that every mile is backed by solid protection.
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"

Hi, everyone. Steve here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at our Kenda Karrier KR53. It's an ST235/80R16 radial tire with wheel, and it's a 16-inch for dual and it's a steel wheel with black finish. It's also featuring an 8 on 6 1/2 inch lug pattern. So folks, this is a trailer-ready tire and wheel combo.
It's been pre-mounted onto the 16-inch wheel. Again, it's a dual steel wheel with an 8 on 6 1/2 inch bolt pattern. The tire is a Load Range E and that can support up to 3,100 pounds at 85-PSI when used in a dual-wheel configuration. Now, this 8 on 6 1/2 inch bolt pattern fits heavy-duty, utility, gooseneck and dually trailer setups. And you can be confident that this is gonna handle all your needs because the Kenda KR53 tread delivers stable tracking and great road grip.
And it's also going to make sure that whether it's snow, rain, mud, whatever, it's gonna handle everything, give you great traction. Now this is gonna run cooler. It's a long-lasting performance tire. The radial construction reduces heat buildup and promotes even wear and tear. And looking at the backside of the wheel, the wheel capacity itself is rated at 3,860 pounds.
The pilot hole diameter, if you need center caps and stuff, is 4.9 inches. Now this does also feature a negative 1/2 inch offset for proper spacing for using in tandem setups. Again, it's a Load Range E or a 10-ply tire. And again, the max low-capacity because it's a dual setup, is 3,100 pounds at 85 PSI. Folks, that will wrap it up for our quick look together at this Kenda Karrier KF53 wheel and tire combo.
I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
