When the route takes you down uneven dirt or across long stretches of highway, this tire-and-wheel combo is ready to deliver. The Loadstar ST235/75R15 Radial Off-Road Tire uses double steel belts and full nylon piles for durability and a stable ride. With an 8-ply rating and a maximum load of 2,860 lbs at 65 psi, it keeps its shape and traction under heavy loads. Rated for speeds up to 99 mph (speed rating Q), it’s built to handle both backroads and interstate miles with confidence.
Saltwater, mud, and road grime don’t stand a chance against this wheel’s finish. The 15" x 5" aluminum construction is lightweight, rustproof, and finished in a matte black powder coat that resists corrosion. A clear coat on both sides protects against scuffs and scratches so the wheel keeps its sharp look year after year. Steel inserts in the lug nut wells reinforce the connection points to prevent wear, keeping the wheel tight on the hub without constant retightening.
Rain or snow doesn’t have to stop your trip. The deep tread channels water away from the tire for strong traction in wet, snowy, or icy conditions. It’s designed specifically for trailer use with sturdy sidewalls that handle heavy loads without flexing like passenger tires do. That means steady tracking and solid grip whether you’re rolling through mud or cruising on pavement.
Every part of this assembly meets Department of Transportation specifications for on-road use. Kenda backs the tire with a 5-year limited warranty and a 1-year worry-free guarantee that replaces it at no charge if it’s damaged within the first 12 months. The aluminum wheel carries a 2-year limited warranty. Together, they give you peace of mind knowing your setup is protected mile after mile.
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"

Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Kenda Loadstar ST235/75R15 Radial Off-Road Trailer Tire in a Load Range D, mounted on this 15 inch matte black machined aluminum trailer wheel with the 5 on 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Now, this tire and wheel assembly is ideal for trailers off-roading on mud or other uneven terrain, and it can also be used on highways and other paved roads. We'll start with the wheel, it's a nice aluminum wheel. It's very durable, lightweight, and rustproof. It is an AM03 Series wheel, which is an open five-spoke design, has a matte black finish.
But if you also noticed around this edge of the open spoke, has a nice machined finish. They do use a clear coat finish on the front and even on the back of the wheel to protect from scuffs and scratches. One of the nice features I like on this wheel, it has the steel inserts right here in the lug nut wells. Helps keep your wheel securely in place on the trailer hub. So basically, when you install this onto the studs of your trailer, put your lug nuts on there and tighten them down, those steel inserts prevent those holes from wearing down, eliminates the need for constant re-tightening of your lug nuts.
The wheel itself, the diameter, 15 inches. The width on just the wheel is five inches wide. Bolt pattern on this is 5 on 4 1/2 inches. And the pilot hole, which is the large hole here in the center of the wheel, diameter of that is 3.19 inches. Now, if you noticed this does not have a center cap.
If you do want a center cap, we do sell those separately. And you do wanna get a center cap that'll have the same diameter as the pilot hole, 3.19 inches. It does use a wheel lug size of 1/2 inch by 20. And the weight capacity on just the wheel is 2,200 pounds. Now, the tire is a Kenda Loadstar special trailer radial tire.
This is a radial tire, which is constructed with double steel belts and full nylon plies for long life. And if you look at the tread design, it has the deep rugged tread blocks that help give it the excellent grip in any off-road conditions. The tire is an ST tire, which stands for special trailer tire. Has the sturdy sidewall, so they can handle heavy loads. And it is created specifically for trailers, it's not intended for use on other vehicles. The tire size, which will be stamped on the sidewall, right here, ST for special trailer, 235/75R15. The R means it's a radial tire. Section width, it's gonna be 9.3 inches. Overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's inflated is 29 inches. This is a Load Range D, which means it's an eight-ply rated tire, so it has a maximum load capacity of 2,860 pounds at 65 psi. I also wanna mention, the tire comes with a speed rating, and it's stamped on the sidewall with a letter designation. And where you'll find it is right after the tire size, you'll see two numbers for the load index, and then the letter Q. Speed rating Q means this is a 99 mile per hour speed rated tire. And this tire and wheel assembly does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications. But that's gonna do it for the review on Kenda Loadstar ST235/75R15 Radial Off-Road Trailer Tire in a Load Range D on this 15 inch matte black machined aluminum trailer wheel.

The reason for 4 stars is that They mount the tires with stickers on the visible side of the rim. These stickers are difficult to remove and unsightly for a brand new wheel and tire set up
Only other down side is that you need a thin wall socket to put the lug nuts on.
The tires seem at be decent quality and the rims arrived undamaged
Very aggressive look for my little trailer. Handles great on any terrain and I get lots of compliments! I'm getting ready to replace the 4 on my newest toy hauler to match.
These wheels and tires are perfect on my lifted winnebago micro minnie 1700bh!
Tire and wheel combo was individually boxed protecting them during shipping.
Tires look and feel sturdy.Wheels look good and match our trailer nicely
There awesome!
These are awesome!
They look awesome on our overland camping trailer.
No issues yet. Exactly as described.
etrailer has amazing customer service. Love these new rims/tires. Big upgrade from the Original setup on my Travel trailer. Would absolutely suggest anyone buy these if you are in the market. Note: These are larger than most stock trailer tires, be sure that you have the clearance. I flipped my axle and got an extra 5 inches of clearance before putting these on.
Fantastic customer service and they showed up 3 days earlier than expecting
Love that this tire was available in a combo and shipped for free. I watched the product video about three different times before buying. The exact specs were very helpful.

One year later, this product has worked perfectly and as expected. I would certainly buy this product again when needed.
Came when promised. Exactly what I ordered. Love them.
great tire and rime thanks
After having issues with the factory 205/75-14 tires on our trailer, found this combo reasonably priced on etrailer.com. Wasn't sure if I liked the wheel style but that was somewhat secondary, price point and tire features, such as speed rating, load capacity, tread style, size and pressure needed to be 65psi for my monitor system.
These fit the bill, our previous tires speed rating was 75mph, which while we don't typically travel at that speed, is too close for comfort.
The 99mph rating gives that comfort.
These tires have an aggressive deep off-road tread and fit well on our toy hauler, I got one as a spare because of the price and the aluminum wheel is lighter than the steel option.
Only have a few trips on these so far, they are working great, and to top it off, the wheels look pretty good on our trailer.
As always, everyone at etrailer.com are helpful, informative and courteous.
Great product arrived exactly as described and very fast shipping. Thanks

Love these tires and wheels. Get compliments on them everywhere we go with the camper.
Great product. Fast shipping
Filled out the wheel well after the camper had been lifted in order to get into Offroad areas. Drove from Maryland to New Mexico without any issues. Tires have held up well since purchase.
Trailering performance that I never thought possible! A great upgrade to factory original. On road and off road!

12000 miles, one nail repair, and they are going to last another 12000! Ive gone to the east coast twice now, and off road in Arizona. I will swear by these tires. They still look new!
