Video Transcript for Feature Review Kenda Karrier ST235/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Camo Mod Wheel

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this Kenda Karrier ST235/75R15 load range D off-road radial trailer tire, with this 15-inch steel camo mod wheel with a 6 on 5 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Now, this tire and wheel assembly is gonna be ideal for trailers off-roading in mud or other uneven terrain, but this can also be used on highways and other paved roads. This special trailer tire, or ST tire, has sturdy sidewalls so that it can handle heavy loads. This is created specifically for trailers and not intended for use on other vehicles. Now, as you know, radial ply tires are designed for trailers that are towed on the highway, and this tire is constructed with double steel belts and full nylon ply that combined for superior function and long tire life.

And as you notice, this off-Road Tire has deep, rugged tread that's going to channel water away from the tire to improve traction during wet, snowy, or icy conditions. So as I mentioned at the beginning of our time together and as we have stamped here on our tire, this is an ST235/75R15. The section width is 9.3 inches. The outer diameter is 29 inches. This is a load range D tire, meaning it has an eight ply rating, and the maximum load is 2,860 pounds at 65 psi.

And this has a speed rating of Q, indicating a maximum speed of 99 miles per hour. Now, this modular steel wheel with this camouflage pattern by Dexstar is sturdy, it's corrosion-resistant. This assembly is gonna be great for boat trailers that maybe have a camouflage design as well. Can be great for hunting trailers. Anything that you're using outdoors that you're looking for that really nice camo design, either to kind of offset your trailer or to match a camo pattern that you have, this is gonna be a great option for you to consider.

This wheel was actually dipped in a camouflage Strata pattern finish over an e-coat primer. Now, you might have noticed this red cap here on the valve stem, and you might be wondering what that red cap means. Well, that indicates that this assembly has been bead balanced. As you might know, balancing beads are a method used to balance tires, and they can be particularly useful for trailer tires, which often don't come pre-balanced. The beads are placed inside the tire during production.

Then as the tire rotates, the beads will distribute themselves to counteract any imbalances, promoting even tire wear and better performance. Now, this wheel is going to have a diameter of 15 inches, measuring bead seat to bead seat, and then six inches wide. The bolt pattern is 6 on 5 1/2 inches. And in case you don't know, the first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes and the second number is the diameter in inches of the circle on which the bolt holes sit. So to determine the bolt circle diameter on wheels with an even number of bolt holes, as we have here, you're simply gonna measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the bolt hole directly across from it. The capacity of this wheel is 2,860 pounds. The wheel stud size is 1/2 inch by 20. The center cap is sold separately, but you just wanna make sure that it fits the pilot diameter of 4.27 inches if you decide to pick one up. And this tire wheel assembly does meet the Department of Transportation specifications. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together has been helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
