When you’re hauling serious weight, this setup keeps things solid. The Kenda Karrier KR53 ST235/80R16 tire carries up to 3,520 lbs at 85 psi and uses radial construction to keep heat down and wear even. The KR53 tread gives steady tracking and road grip, so you feel in control even with a full load behind you.
This tire and wheel combo shows up ready for work—already mounted and aired up. You can bolt it on and get rolling without a trip to the shop or extra mounting time. It’s a simple upgrade that makes replacing worn parts quick and easy so you can stay focused on the road ahead.
The 16" black machined aluminum wheel is both lightweight and corrosion-resistant, helping it stand up to exposure, road grime, and moisture. You get the durability of aluminum without adding unnecessary weight, plus a clean look that holds up mile after mile.
This wheel uses an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern, the go-to layout for high-capacity setups where strength counts. It fits securely with 1/2"-20 bolts and supports up to 4,400 lbs per wheel. With a 16" diameter x 6" width rim and 4.90" pilot diameter, it’s made for dependable fitment on heavy-duty builds.
If the tire fails under normal use during the first year, Kenda will replace it—no questions asked. Add in a limited 2-year warranty on the wheel, and you’ve got coverage that keeps your setup protected from day one.
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 everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a quick look at this Kenda Karrier KR53 ST235/80R16 radial trailer tire on this 16 inch black aluminum wheel. Now this radial trailer tire does come pre-mounted on this 16 inch black machined aluminum wheel with an eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern. So whether you're replacing a worn out setup or you're prepping a new trailer, you're gonna save time and skip the hassle of separate mounting and inflation with this assembly. Now the KR53 tread is optimized for road control and trailer stability. It has low rolling resistance that's gonna help maintain fuel efficiency and steady tracking on long distance hauls for us.
And as you probably know, that radial construction's gonna help reduce heat buildup and it's gonna promote longer tread life, especially on those extended trips. So as I mentioned at the beginning of our time together, and as we have stamped here on our tire, this is an ST235/80R16. So again, an ST235/80R16, and this is a load range E tire, meaning it has a 10 ply rating and this has a maximum load capacity of 3,520 pounds at 85 PSI. And this tire has a speed rating of N, indicating a maximum speed of 87 miles per hour. So this does come mounted on this black machine aluminum wheel.
It's lightweight, it's corrosion resistant, and it does add a clean polished look to your trailer setup. So really attractive wheel that this tire is mounted on. Speaking of this wheel, the dimensions looking at the diameter first, measuring bead seat to bead seat is 16 inches. The width is six inches, and our bolt pattern is eight on six and a half inches. And in case you don't know, the first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes, and then 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 simply measure from the center of any bolt hole to the center of the bolt hole directly across from it. The wheel stud size is a half an inch by 20. The wheel itself has a capacity of 4,400 pounds. This does not come with a center cap, but if you decide to pick one up, you just wanna make sure that it fits a pilot diameter of 4.90 inches. Now if you happen to have any other additional questions about this tire and wheel assembly, or any other tire and wheel assemblies that we might carry here at etrailer.com, don't hesitate to reach back out to us.
We wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you want and need. But I think it's gonna wrap up our quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
