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.

Order was quickly and accurately delivered!
Great communication as always from eTrailer!
I love the tires and rims, and the Service and communication are over the top from every employee who touched my product. These will work much better in the salty waters of the Gulf of America. The white rims are my old ones.
Tire and wheel arrived without a valve core, so of course, won’t hold air. What a hassle to have to go buy a valve core and tool to install the core. I tried to get better value than from the dealer for my new trailer, but would have been better off just taking the dealer gouge on the spare.
Makes the trailer look new again. Had to get center caps and now I need black lug nuts. Please add links for those, and I would have purchased them
My spare wheel with the tire fully inflated arrived in a few days. So happy to finally have a spare for my camper. Great price!
Exactly as described, inflated and ready to go. And quick shipping too!
Quick shipping of quality product and close follow up by eTrailer.
Great set of wheels and tires
Prices were great, quality even better. I have the site bookmarked and will continue to buy products for my trailers and more.
I blew a tire out and lost a rim and didn't know what to do. And I called these fellers and they hooked me up with a new set of tires and rims for less than I could have bought tires for it's a great place, call them fellers, you need this.
Fast shipping and they arrived in great condition !! Thank you!)
There's a cracked portion on the back side of the rim. We reached out to 2 different representatives with etrailer about the flaw in the rim and neither one of them have responded back.
Great Value looks great on my camper, problem free ordering and shipping , I am a repeat customer for a reason 5 Stars
I got my wheels and tires in 2 days.
They look NICE! The new aluminum wheels make my trailer look 20 years newer.
It's a trailer tire so hard to rate it but, it was not balanced so I have to slep it to a shop to have it balanced. Trailers need balanced tires too.
They fit perfect on my camper. I needed a replacement and they stopped making the current wheel. This will blend enough for me.
Haven't had them on the road yet but one would think they would come balanced but noooo. I had to take them to a shop and pay to have them balanced. I guess they think tires on a trailer don't need balancing since you don't feel the shake in the truck. Unbalanced tires destroy suspensions and tires too, even on a trailer.
Fast shipping!!! Wow is was surprised when ups showed up with the wheel. I took the wheels and tires to be balanced 1 took .75 oz and the other one 1 oz. They look great on my trailer
Very nice looking wheels with quality tires. Dont forget to get these balanced before putting on your trailer!
Great looking product , very reasonable price.
And I’m very happy with the purchase from etrailer. Fast free shipping.
