Video Transcript for Review of Kenda Trailer Tires and Wheels - Karrier KR53 ST205/75R15 LRD Radial Gray Mod - KE58TJ

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Kenda Karrier KR53 ST205/75R15 Load Range D Radial Trailer Tire mounted on this 15-inch Nardo gray steel modular wheel. So this is obviously going to be a complete trailer and tire package, tire and wheel package, rather. So the tire's going to come professionally mounted on this steel wheel, and it's going to be ready to install right out of the box, so that's going to save you the hassle of costing, the cost, rather, of having your tire mounted separately. So as I mentioned about this tire, and as we have stamped here, this is an ST205/75R15 radial trailer tire, and this tire is designed for trailer usage only.

And so this is going to be a common size for many utility cargo equipment and boat trailers. And of course, this tire comes mounted on this 15-inch in diameter by five-and-a-half inch modular steel wheel, and it's finished in this durable Nardo gray color. And so, of course, the modular design is going to be these circles that we have here. This Nardo gray is a relatively new color to me. It's a nice shade of gray that I really like.

And this features this double pin stripe, black stripe that goes around the inside perimeter of the wheel, so it is steel. It's going to be very durable and long lasting. One of the biggest strengths of this assembly is that this is a load range D 8-ply rated tire, and this tire can carry up to 2,200 pounds when inflated to 70 PSI. And this tire features Kenda's KR53 all-season tread, which is designed to perform well in a variety of weather conditions. This tread includes channels that help move water away from the tire.

That's going to improve traction and reduce the chance of hydroplaning on wet roads. And because this is a radio trailer tire, this is also going to run cooler than those older bias ply tires, and running cooler helps reduce heat buildup during those long trips, which can extend the life of your tire while promoting more even tread wear over time. So this wheel uses the five on four-and-a-half inch bolt pattern. Now if you don't know how to measure your bolt pattern on your trailer, do take a look at this product page. A little bit lower down the page, we do walk you through step by step on how to measure your bolt pattern to make sure this is going to work for you.

This does not come with a center cap, but if you decide to pick one up, you just want to make sure that it fits the pilot diameter of 3.19 inches. This uses half-inch by 20 wheel bolts and the wheel itself is rated to match the tire's 2200 pound capacity. Well, I think that's going to wrap up our look today. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
