When you’re hauling serious weight, this tire holds up. The Karrier ST235/85R16 radial tire delivers a maximum load of 3,960 lbs at 110 psi for single-tire setups and 3,520 lbs at 110 psi in dual. It’s a 12-ply, Load Range F design with sturdy sidewalls made specifically for trailers, not passenger use. That extra strength means solid support for heavy cargo and less flex when you’re running loaded.
This tire is built to run fast and stay cool. With an M speed rating (81 mph), the radial construction uses cords positioned at 90 degrees to the direction of travel to reduce rolling resistance and heat buildup. That design helps it stay stable on long highway pulls while giving you a smoother ride and longer tread life in both wet and dry conditions.
Inside, the Karrier uses double steel belts backed by full nylon plies for strength that lasts. The premium rubber compound and computer-generated tread pattern give dependable traction and stability even under full load. It’s a combination made for long service life, predictable handling, and safer performance in changing weather.
Kenda backs this tire with a 5-year limited warranty plus a 1-year worry-free guarantee that replaces it at no charge if it’s damaged in the first year. With that kind of coverage built in, you get real assurance that this tire is ready for the road ahead.
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"

These tires have held up well I tow this trailer about 25k doing lawn care . I have found that trailer tires are damaged before they wear out although these still have a reasonable amount of tread left and will replace them with same product if available

Its not unheard of for tires to arrive at our location that were manufactured a year or so before we receive them. The tires are manufactured overseas. After they are manufactured, they sit in a warehouse for a period of time until theyre packed in a shipping container and ultimately loaded on a container ship and shipped to the US. The trip here and entry through US Customs can take more than a month or more. The tires then sit in a warehouse in the US until we order and receive them. Tires that are stored in a warehouse under controlled conditions dont age or dry rot like tires that are exposed to the elements and UV radiation do. The fact that your tires were around a year old when you received them will not have any effect on their lifespan or future durability. They should be good until the tread wears out or up to 6-7 years whichever comes first assuming they are not stored in direct sunlight, not overloaded, are kept properly inflated and their speed rating isnt being exceeded.
