Features to know about

Built for Confident Towing at Real Highway Speeds: Load Range E with 81-mph Rating

When you’re towing long distances, this tire’s strength and speed rating make a real difference. The Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire?— Load Range E has a 10-ply rating and can carry 3,500 lbs at 90 psi (3,197 lbs in dual configuration). It’s rated M for up to 81 mph and meets DOT specifications, so you can tow confidently on the interstate without worrying about heat or handling issues.

Smooth Ride and Long Tread Life: Radial Construction with Double Steel Belts

This tire’s radial design uses cords positioned at a 90-degree angle to travel direction, cutting down on rolling resistance and heat buildup. The full nylon plies and double steel belts combine for long tread life and steady tracking at highway speeds. The computer-generated tread pattern delivers solid traction in wet or dry conditions, giving a smooth, stable ride wherever you tow.

Ready for Heavy Loads Without Flexing: Sturdy Sidewalls and 5-Year Warranty

Designed specifically for trailers, the ST construction gives this tire rigid sidewalls built to handle vertical load stress without wobble or bulge. It fits 16" x 6", 6-1/2", 7", and 7-1/2" rims, measures 30.9" in overall diameter, and has a section width of 9.4". Backed by a 5-year limited warranty and a 1-year worry-free guarantee that replaces any damaged tire within the first year, it’s built for peace of mind on every haul.

Keeps Its Cool Under Pressure: Premium Rubber Compound for Heat Resistance

Even on hot pavement or long hauls, this tire runs cooler thanks to its premium rubber compound and radial ply design. Less heat means less wear, which helps maintain consistent performance mile after mile. It’s tough enough for extended towing yet smooth enough to reduce vibration when the road stretches out ahead.

Determining Bolt Pattern

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.

Center to Center
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).

Center to Outside Edge
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

Only just put tires on, so can't yet report on them. They look/feel well made. etrailer made good on their 110% price guarantee when I proved a lower price elsewhere. When it appeared there was going to be a delay in shipping they called and offered an alternative tire which I chose to decline and waited for these. They arrived earlier than anticipated however. Easy transaction, hope the tires are as good as other reviews. A word of warning; the shop took 8 hours yesterday to do a laser alignment on my Correct Track equipped 5th wheel and to mount these 4 tires. Adding insult to injury, they billed a half hour apiece to mount them, or $270! I almost blew a gasket after they had told me that it would only be a couple of hours and that I'd be fine waiting. The sign on the wall for $29 (each) mounting was if you bought their tires (very fine print). Needless to say I didn't let them get away with that. I at least give them credit for honoring the $29 sign on the wall after arguing it. Next time I'll be getting them mounted elsewhere....

  • What Is The Load Capacity On A 235/80R16 Tire?
    The Taskmaster Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # TTWTRTM2358016E has a load rating of 3,520 lbs at 80 psi and has a speed rating of up to 81 mph. The Kenda Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # AM10248 has a load rating of 3,500 lbs at 90 psi but a speed rating of up to 65 mph. The Westlake ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # LHWL401 has a load rating of 3,520 lbs at 80 psi and has a speed rating of up to 75 mph. This tire is...

  • Recommended Brand of Tire for a Size ST235/85R16 or ST235/80R16 Tire
    The best tires that we have come from Westlake. For the ST235/85R16 size you could use part # LHWL410 which has a Load Range of G (4,400 lbs at 110 psi). For the ST235/80R16 size you could use part # LHWL401 which has a Load Range of E (3,520 lbs at 80 psi). The thing that sets this tire apart from all of the other options is the warranty. The performance itself is comparable to other brands that we carry, but it also comes with a 5-year warranty. This tire comes with complimentary roadside...

  • Difference Between Karrier ST235/80R16 Load Range E Trailer Tires
    Hi Kyle, The specs are the same, with the only difference being the tread for the Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # KE73KV and # AM10248. The # KE73KV is the newest tread design from Kenda, and is designed to have more grip in wet weather, siphoning water.

  • What Fenders do You Recommend for My 16 Inch Wheels?
    For your ST235/80-16 tires like the Karrier Radial Tires # AM10248, I recommend the Single Axle Trailer Fender for Enclosed Trailers - Steel - 15" to 16" Wheels # HP46VR (for single axles) or the Tandem Axle Teardrop Trailer Fenders for Enclosed Trailers - 15" to 16" Wheels # HP64VR (for tandem axles). Both of these fenders are designed for 16 inch wheels. We do not carry single fenders that are less than 36 inches long or tandem-axle fenders that are less than 68 inches long that are confirmed...

  • Do Wheels Have PSI Ratings?
    The Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Black item # TA65VR and the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Black item # AM20761B you referenced do not have individual PSI's because they do not have a tire or valve stem installed. The tire you would add to these wheels and the valve stem would determine the PSI. The Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E item # AM10248 would be a good option. This tire has a PSI of 90.

  • Can an ST235/80/16 Load Range F Trailer Tire be Safely Used on a 15k 5th Wheel Trailer
    There seems to be a mix up somewhere. Trailer tire # AM10501 that you have referenced is size 235/85-16, not 235/80. We have 2 tires in size 235/85-16. First, # AM10501, is a load range F and is rated for 3,960 pounds at 95 psi. Then we have # AM10295, load range E, rated for 3,640 pounds at 95 psi. So the load range F tire is rated higher. For tire size 235/80-16 we have 1 tire, # AM10248, rated for 3,197 pounds at 90 psi. As far as if any of the above tires can be used on a 14,800 pound...

  • Selection of Special Trailer Tires for 5th Wheel Trailer to Avoid Blowouts
    Most critical to trailer tire performance and durability are 1) proper inflation 2) observance of the tire's rated load capacity and 3) observance of the tire's speed rating. If either of these factors is off the mark then the tire will tend to overheat and heat is what usually causes tire failure. It sounds like you have a good handle on proper inflation and speed. It is perfectly fine to use a tire that is over-rated for the application, say using a load range F tire when an E-rated...

  • Comparing Kenda and Transeagle Tires for 5th Wheel
    I recommend going with the Kenda Karrier ST235/80R16 Load Range E # AM10248 over the Transeagle alternative. I know it might sound like I'm being biased because we carry the Karrier, but when I was comparing the tread on the Kenda compared to the tread on the Transeagle, the Kenda has more grooves and breaks in the tread which means it will be more effective at dissipating water when the road is wet. The Kenda Karrier also comes with a 5 year warranty while I didn't even see a warranty...

  • Shortest Diameter Trailer Tire for a 16 inch Rim
    The shortest tire we carry that is designed to fit a 16 inch rim would be the size 235-80R16 that is 30.9 inches in diameter. For that you would want the part # AM10248. I attached a review video for this tire for you to check out as well.

  • Replacement Trailer Tire for LT245/75R16 Size Tires
    I'd be happy to make a replacement recommendation for your 245/75R16 tires! I recommend going with the Kenda Karrier ST235/80R16 # AM10248 if you're just looking for the tire. If you need a tire and wheel combo then I recommend the Taskmaster Provider # TA39VR which has the 6 lug wheel, or the Taskmaster Provider # TA99VR which has an 8 lug wheel. These tires will have the same basic dimensions as your current tire size and they have a Load Range E weight rating which is 3,520 lbs at...

  • Will Replacing Trailer Equalizers Increase the Spacing Between Axles on a Tandem Axle Trailer
    You cannot increase the space between the tires just by changing the equalizer. The axles will still be in the same place. You would have to move the axles which is going to require changing all suspension components including the hangers, springs, equalizers shackle straps, and possibly the u-bolt kit if it doesn't fit the new springs. This is a major change that would require a shop that works on trailers or an RV dealer with a service center. At the very least some hangers would have...

  • Maximum Tire Pressure Rating For Lionshead Aluminum Liger Trailer Wheel # LH39FR
    While the Aluminum Liger Trailer Wheel # LH39FR does not carry a maximum pressure rating the included valve stem is rated for 110psi. You will need to ensure that this is not lower than the maximum pressure rating for the tire you intend to use. Here are the tires we carry I recommend using depending on your weight capacity and size needed.

  • Recommended Tires for 30 Foot Flat Bed Gooseneck Trailer with 235/80R16 Tires
    For your 30 foot Gooseneck trailer with tandem axles with dual tires, the tires used depend on the load rating. The size is fine, but if they are load range E like # AM10248 rated for 3197 lbs they will work fine but they only will have a 10 ply rating and are also only rated for speeds up to 65 mph. Other manufacturers may have a higher speed rating, but the ply rating will be the same. I'd prefer the Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range G # PRG80235 which has a 14...

  • Best Replacement for Old 6.00-16 Trailer Tires
    The best modern day size replacement option we have for a 6.00-16 is a 235/80-16 which measures 30-7/8" diameter x 9-3/8" wide. For this, I recommend the Kenda Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire with 16" Black Mod Wheel part # AM34834. If you want to save some money you can reuse the old wheels and just purchase the Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10248.

  • Shorter Replacement for 235/85-16 Trailer Tire
    We do have trailer tires that are slightly shorter than your current LT (or light truck) tire which is size 235/85R16. Those tires, such as the Westlake ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire # LHWL410 measure 31.7 inches in diameter when inflated. They have a 4,400 lb capacity, and I imagine your trailer is a tandem axle so we have an option that will work for you. I recommend a ST235/80-16 trailer tire with a load range E rating. This will give you a tire that measures about an inch less in...

  • Recommended E-Rated Trailer Tires for Coachman Toy Hauler

The Kenda Karrier # AM10303 is a 225/75-15 tire; the Kenda # AM10248 is is a 235/80-16 tire; and the Kenda # AM10295 is sized 235/85-16. These tires are nearly universally praised by our customers, with nearly 500 reviews giving them an average very close to 5 stars, which is impressive considering how difficult it is to get that many people to agree on much of anything.

    With the Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10501 with the load range F and 3,960lbs capacity per tire you are likely breaking belts from the bouncing created by the tires being to stiff. The tires being rated for more than your trailer will cause the trailer to bounce more creating more stress on the tires.

    The tire size we offer that is closest to the 215/85R16 that you said you have on your trailer is the ST235/80R16 part # AM10248. These are very close in size so they should work well for you. Also, these are ST rated tires that are specially rated for a trailer application so they should work better than your LT tires you currently have.

  • Will Going to a Higher Load Range Tire Prevent Blowouts on a 5th Wheel Trailer
    First, regarding inflation, trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum pressure as indicated on the tire. If you do this when they are cold (always inflate tires cold) there is no need to let any air out after they have warmed up. The slight pressure increase will not cause any problems, even in the desert. If the tires are inflated to the max and they are blowing out it could mean the trailer is overloaded. But based on what you have said the trailer was going to and from...

  • 235/80-16 Tire Recommendation for 13K 2814GS Attitude Toy Hauler
    In a nutshell, you'll want the combined capacity of your tires to meet or exceed the 13000 lb GVWR of your toy hauler. A load range E tire in 235/80-16 will typically have a 3420 lb capacity per tire when fully inflated. For 4 tires, that would add up to 13680 lbs, which is greater than your GVWR. You could certainly go with a load range G tire, but since most folks don't load up their RV's all the way up to the GVWR, a load range E tire should work perfectly for you. We offer the Kenda...

  • What is the Correct Tire Pressure for Trailer Tires
    Trailer tires are designed to be kept inflated to their max PSI that is listed on the sidewall of the tire. You will want to inflate the tires when they are cold. So what you need to do is check the sidewall of your tires and find where it says the max tire pressure rating. That's what you should inflate the tire to when cold and you will be good. This ensures you get the full tire weight capacity as well as speed rating. Lower tire pressure allows the sidewall to flex which causes heat...

    If you check the sidewall of the tire you have you should see a max psi listed. This is the psi you should inflate the tire to when cold and you'd be set since trailer tires are actually designed to be ran at max psi. This ensures you get full capacity and prevent heat build up. We don't carry a 12 ply rated tire in this size but most likely the figure is 90 psi based on our similar 10 ply rated Karrier tire # AM10248. The lower ply ratings are typically around 80 and the higher ones...

  • Do you Carry 16 inch Wheels with a 5 Bolt Lug Pattern for a Cargo Trailer with 3,500 lbs Axles
    At this time we do not carry 16 inch wheels with a 5 bolt pattern or a lower profile tire. You would be best suited to stay with a 15 inch wheel and the highest rated tire available bias ply tire for 15 inch wheels, like the Karrier ST225/75D15 Bias Ply Trailer Tire - Load Range D, item # AM1ST96. This will give you a set of tires that are rated higher than the trailer axles so you will not have to worry about overloading the tires, unless the trailer itself is overloaded. Bias ply tires...
