Features to know about

A Ready-to-Roll Upgrade: Tire and Wheel Combo for Easy Install

This combo comes pre-mounted and aired up, so it's ready to install right out of the box. Whether you're replacing a worn-out setup or prepping a new trailer, you'll save time and skip the hassle of separate mounting and inflation.

Hauls What You Need: 3,520-lb Load Rating at 85 psi

With a Load Range E rating, this tire offers strong hauling capacity for gear, tools, or recreational equipment. A great choice for steady performance without upsizing your setup.

Fits the Trailers You Tow: 8 on 6-1/2 Bolt Pattern

This popular bolt pattern works with many common utility, cargo, and boat trailers. It's a reliable match for most heavy-duty trailers, so you can tow with confidence knowing it fits right.

KR53 Tread Keeps You in Control on the Highway

The KR53 tread is engineered to help channel water away from the contact patch, improving grip and stability on wet pavement. Whether you're towing through rain or shine, it keeps your trailer tracking with confidence.

Built to Last: Radial Tire with Durable, Steel Wheel

Radial construction helps reduce heat buildup and extend tread life. The 16" x 6" steel wheel uses a 2-step finishing process with an e-coat primer and gray powder coat that resists rust and road wear.

Video Transcript for Review of Kenda Trailer Tires and Wheels - Tire with Wheel - KE88TJ

Hi everyone. Steve here with etrailer. Let's take a look at this Kenda Karrier KR53. This is a trailer ready tire wheel combo. It features an ST 235 slash 80 R16 radial tire. That, as you can see, comes pre mounted, ready to go on a 16 inch nardo gray modular steel wheel.

Now that does feature an eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern. And as you can see, the front and back have that two step finish process with an e primer and a gray powder coat that resists rust and road wear. Looking at the tread, it's a reliable all season tread pattern. The KR 53 tread has been engineered to help channel water away from that center contact patch, and that's gonna improve your grip, stability on wet pavement. So whether you're towing through rain or shine, it's gonna keep that trailer tracking with confidence.

Now going back to the front here, it's your modular wheel design. That's what those big round holes are. And of course, you're eight on six and a half lug pattern. Your pilot hole here measures 4.90 inches in diameter. So if you're looking to replace some of your center caps, we sell them separately here, or if you're reusing yours, just make sure they have that 4.9 inch diameter so they can fit here.

Overall, I got 30.7 inches in diameter when fully inflated. And that side section width rather, 9.2 inches on the section width. It's rated for a maximum low capacity of 3520 pounds at 85 PSI. And that is a load range E or a 10 ply tire rating. So again, folks, this radio construction on here is gonna help produce the heat buildup and extend the tread life.

And again, that 16 by 6 steel wheel has that amazing two process coating on there to keep it looking beautiful for years to come. And that's gonna wrap up our time together, folks. I'm Steven, thanks so much for watching. Have a great day and stay safe while you're towing.

The wheels are almost an exact match for my 21 year old Featherlite car hauler. I have not towed the trailer so I cannot comment on the tires. I'm sure they will be fine. I have ordered many parts for many different trailers over the years from etrailer. Never been disappointed. I will continue to do business with etrailer.
