Features to know about

Made for Heavy Loads and Long Miles: Load Range D Capacity at 2,540 lbs

When you’re hauling serious weight, you want tires that won’t flinch under pressure. The Kenda Loadstar ST225/75D15 bias trailer tire handles up to 2,540 lbs at 65 psi, giving it stout capacity for tough jobs. It’s built to meet DOT standards and carries a speed rating of M (81 mph), so you can stay steady on the highway without worrying about heat or strain.

Tough Sidewalls for Rough Terrain: Bias-Ply 8-Layer Strength

The bias-ply construction in this Loadstar tire uses durable nylon cords set at a 30- to 45-degree angle and crisscrossed for strength. Those stiffer sidewalls help the whole tire flex as one, keeping your trailer stable even when the surface isn’t. It’s a simple, proven design that tracks straight and smooth over uneven ground.

Built to Last with Advanced Rubber Compound

A long-wearing rubber compound keeps this tire rolling longer between replacements. The flatter tread puts more rubber on the road for better stability and handling, while low rolling resistance helps it run cooler and smoother mile after mile. It’s engineered specifically for trailer use, not passenger vehicles, so every bit of its construction is focused on load support and durability.

Confidence Backed by a 1-Year Worry-Free Guarantee

For extra peace of mind, this tire comes with a 1-year worry-free guarantee—if it’s damaged within the first year, it’s replaced at no charge. Coupled with Kenda’s 5-year limited warranty, it’s reassurance that your investment is protected from day one.

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"

I haven’t mounted them on my trailer but I’m concerned about quality control . Two are identical . The third seems to be narrower along the inside wall and won’t stand on its own like the other two .

Hi Gene, Thanks for your feedback! Sometimes tires will look skinnier after being stacked up in the warehouse. Once they are mounted and set at the correct air pressure it will perform as it should.

by:
These tires are great. I replaced the car tires that were on my utility trailer when I bought it and the trailer seems to tow much better and can now handle the weight of a load of wood much easier with the stiffer sidewalls.
Had them mounted and balanced at a local tire shop which is most likely why the trailer tows better.
I would definitely go with these again.
by:
AWESOME Tires, the only tires I use on all my personal vintage trailers as well as Client Restorations that come through our shop! Whether it is a fully restored museum piece or a trailer we are rescuing from cross country, these are the tires of our choice!!

This is an excellent company and product. The tires were shipped ASAP and came as ordered in a couple of days. They look "outstanding" on my 1972 camper, priced very well and with great service!!

Thank you,

This tire is just what I needed, I purchased my car trailer several years earlier and it did not come with a spare tire & wheel. Worried me some early on about being on the road having a vehicle on the trailer and having tire trouble especially since the tire size could be difficult to find at a lot of tire stores. I feel a lot safer now having a spare for my car trailer. Having a spare tire and wheel for my trailer, takes the worry out of being on the road miles from anyplace I could have found what I needed.
by:
This tire came with my new trailer. It has outlasted all other brands of tires I have had on my trailers.

These tires last longer than other trailer tires I have put on my trailer. But still why do any of them have to wear out? :

by:
fast delivery and correct tire
by:
Good tire for the price point. I put them on a 20 yr old trailer. The rim was really nice for the price. I blew out a tire towing my ATV back from a hunting trip, which was why I ordered the tires and rim. Rim fits my old trailer good will be ordering another.

Fast shipping. I have ordered from E trailer in the past and they are very good. I got a 20K reese 5th wheel hitch and bed rails last time. I highly recommend them . My buddy uses them also for his boat trailer parts Ed

Good piece of mind to have these heavy duty tires on my car carrying tandem. I overload it to haul my little dozer and these tires are mighty.
by:
High quality tire. Had it mounted to the new wheel. I now have a good spare for my trailer again. Great service from etrailer as usual. Thanks!
by:
service I have ever dealt with! As always my tires arrived just two days after I placed the order. Absolutely amazing! The value is incredible too. Best price I found and free shipping to boot! I will continue to make etrailer the first and only stop for all of my trailer needs.
by:
Tires on my camper have been good. I did have one blow out, but I thought the service I got to have it replaced was great. Of course I have no way of knowing what caused the blowout, but it was replaced no problem and I appreciate that. Thank you
by:
shipped ASAP and came as ordered. Received notice of shipment along with tracking number. I ordered on a Sunday and had them installed on the following Friday. The product is priced very well with GREAT service. I will definitely order again. Another example of great american service.

Fast shipping as always. Haven’t pulled the trailer yet with them, but all reviews on here suggested these tires are a dream

I bought a wheel and tire for a spare for my car trailer, could not ask for a better price or service and really fast shipping. Thanks etrailer.

D. I was excited to receive them promptly from etrailer through UPS and glad to report that etrailer was the only source that I could find to carry the desired quality of tire I was looking for. Thanks again to etrailer.com

Really quick shipping. Got exactly what I ordered. Will order with them again when I need new tires!

I was disappointed in the condition of the tire when it arrived. The tire was squashed down and so out of shape I had a hard time getting air in it. It was like something very heavy had sat on top for it for a long time. I hope it holds the air.
by:
Trailer tires were what I needed . They arrived early . Thanks . Will use etrailer again .
by:
I am very satisfied with my purchase. Fast shipping and fine quality at prices below industry standards.
by:
Product arrived quicker than i expected. Etrailer has great service all around. They care!
by:
Tires weren’t stored very well. Looks like they had something very heavy on them for some time and deformed them. They will be very difficult to mount or might not mount at all. Getting the bead to set will be very difficult.

  • How To Determine The Trailer Wheel Replacement Needed
    There are a few measurements needed to ensure you get the correct wheel replacement, but it is difficult to determine from just a picture. I've attached articles to help with the proper fit by measuring the bolt pattern of your wheel, the width from bead seat to bead seat, and the diameter. If you need further help, send me the photos and the dimensions you have and I'd be happy to assist.

  • Replacement Trailer Tires for Boat Trailer with Tire Size P215/75R15
    You don't have much fender clearance currently so I would go with the smaller tire size of 205/75-15 as it will work well and also not cause fender issues. The big difference between this size and the 225/75 size is the outer diameter. The 205 is 27.1 inches overall and the 225 is 28.4 inches. In the tire size you need the # TR20515D would be your best option. This is a Taskmaster Provider trailer tire with speed rating of 81 mph that would work great on your boat trailer. Your current...

  • Recommended Tire Pressure for ST225/75-15 Trailer Tires
    Trailer tires should be kept inflated to the maximum pressure listed on the tire sidewall, as opposed to passenger vehicle tires that will have a certain acceptable range. If a trailer tire is inflated to a lower air pressure than the recommended maximum, the amount of weight that the tire can carry will be lowered. If a heavier load is put on the trailer tire than what is recommended for that air pressure, the sidewall of the tire could heat up and cause the tire to fail. I'll link you...

  • What Does ST in Trailer Tire Size ST225/75D15 Mean
    ST on a tire size like the Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire # AM1ST96 you referenced indicates "special trailer" which means it was designed specifically for use in a trailer application. This type of tire can only be used on a trailer. For more info on trailer tires check out the help article I attached. There's more info on the different trailer tire constructions as well.

  • Explanation for Trailer Tire Tread that is Convex Rather Than Flat
    I consulted with our resident tire expert, and we're both at a loss. Heat build-up caused by over or under inflation, overloading the tire or failing to observe the speed rating of the tire (65mph in most cases) are the typical causes of premature tire failure. When you describe the tires as being 'rounded', I'm assuming that you mean that the tread portion of the tire is convex, rather than being flat so it makes full contact with the pavement. Over-inflation usually causes this, but...

  • Trailer Tire Recommendation for 2009 Forest River Shockwave in Sand
    Hey Juan, since you'll be in sand and want to air down your tire pressure your best solution would be a bias ply tire like the part # AM1ST96 since they have thicker sidewalls that can handle lower pressure better.

  • Is There Trailer Tire Size that Can Replace 95L-15
    Hey John, what you have now 95L-15 is a tractor tire basically that is one inch wider than a 225/75-15 like the part # AM1ST96 that you referenced. So it really comes down to the width of your wheel. If it is between 6 and 7 inches wide it will fit the tire size you asked about.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Tires Wearing Out on the Outside Treads
    The wear is going to be the same with a bias tire or with a radial tire so changing out the style will not help with what is causing the wear. If the tires were over inflated, the center treads would wear. Under inflated tires would show wear on the inside and outside treads. If the wear is just on the outside then the tire is riding at a slight angle with the bottom pointed more in toward the trailer than the top. You will need to check the suspension components, axles, spindles, to make...

  • Upgrading Wheels on 2021 Jayco Jay Flight Six 15
    I am almost certain that they are 5 on 4-1/2". I recommend using our link below on measuring wheel bolt pattern to guarantee you get the correct wheel. An even better thing to do is to go ahead and remove one wheel from your trailer and look at the information that is stamped into the wheel. This will also help you to determine the offset and sizing for the new wheel and tire combination that you will be looking at. If you plan on using larger tires than what is currently installed as well...

  • What Are The Alpha-Numerical Codes On ST Tires?
    No. The 117/112 is not the psi. It is the load index. The L is the speed rating of 75 mph. The load index is the rated load capacity for single and then dual tires on each side of the axle. 117=2833 lbs. The maximum psi should be listed on the tire sidewall and is also the recommended psi for the tires to operate. For instance the Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM1ST96 is similiar and rated for 65 psi max.

  • Trailer Tire Wear on Right Side, Outside Tread Only and Trailer Pulls Hard to One Side
    If you have more of the weight in the trailer on the left side then that could explain the uneven wear. Axles have a bow or camber in the middle. When weight is in the trailer it straightens out the axle some and the tires should wear evenly. When there is not enough weight the camber causes the tires to toe in at the bottom which would lead to outside tread wear. If you do not believe this is the issue then it is possible that the suspension is worn more on the right side or it could...

  • What Should Trailer Tires Be Inflated To and When
    The trick with trailer tires is to inflate them to the max psi figure listed on the sidewall when they are cold and you are good. You do not need to anticipate pressure increasing from heat as this figure has already considered that. So first thing in the morning (or before you tow the trailer for the day) check to make sure that your tires have 80 psi and you'll be good. Also be sure not to exceed the speed and weight ratings on the tire! I attached a help article on trailer tires for...

  • How to Determine the Date a Trailer Tire was Manufactured
    To determine the date any trailer tire was made, including the Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire # AM1ST96 you only need to find the date code. There will be a four-digit code on the sidewall of the tire and the first two numbers are the week of the year it was made and the last two will be the year. For example if you see a code that reads 2918 that means the tire was made in the 29th week of 2018. That said, tires do not wear out from age for anywhere from five to seven years...

  • Can 6-Ply Tires Be Used On Travel Trailer With 8-Ply Tires
    You will always want to use tires that have a capacity that is best suited for your trailer. It is always recommended to use tires that are the same size, have the same load range and construction on a trailer. If tires that are not matched, you could have problems like overheating and overloading which can lead to tire failure. You always want to make sure you inflate the tires when cold to the maximum psi for the best performance. I have attached a helpful article about tires and...

  • Blowout Damage Comparison Between Bias and Radial Tires
    Bias ply tires have the steel cords as well, they just run at a slightly different angle, but they could do the same amount of damage as they aren't guaranteed to come apart in chunks with tire failure as the commercial driver stated. Bias ply cords run at 32 degree angle and radials run at a 90 degree angle to allow the tire to flex more. I've heard of damage to trailers due to tire blowouts, but not any that were better or worse based on radial vs. bias tire use, so I don't believe...

  • Replacement for Existing 8.55 - 15 load range B Trailer Tires
    The modern equivalent size to 8.55-15 would be 225/75-15. For highway use, I'd recommend going with a radial tire for its better ride quality and its better ability to shed excess heat. For a radial tire, I'd recommend the Kenda Karrier 225/75-15 Load Range D tire, part # AM10256. The tire has a 2540 lb per tire capacity. If you won't be running the trailer on the highway much, a less expensive bias-ply tire like part # AM1ST96 would work great for you. I've linked to product videos...

  • What Does the 117/112L Mean on a Light Truck LT Tire
    The 117/112L that you are seeing on your tire is in reference to the load range and speed rating. There is tire load index chart for light truck (LT) tires and the 117 corresponds to 2,833 lbs for single tires and the 112 corresponds to 2,469 lbs for dual tires. The L corresponds to speed rating L which has a max of 75 mph like you mentioned. Therefore, the above load range would be suitable for a tandem axle trailer with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 8,495 lbs. If you can let...

  • Can a Radial 225/75-15 Size Tire be Used as a Replacement with Other Bias Tires of Same Size
    Although radial tires are better for highway use if you are currently using bias tires and you are only replacing one then you need to get a bias. Even if the radial and bias tires you are using are rated for trailers they track and wear slightly differently. To replace your bias tire I recommend the Kenda Loadstar ST225/75D15 # AM1ST96 which has a load range D ( 2,540 lbs at 65 psi) and a speed rating of 81 mph. If you are wanting to change them all to radial then I highly recommend...

  • What Size Rims Will A 225/75/15 Tire Fit?
    Hey Richard, I can clear this up for you since it gets confusing when talking about tire and rim sizes. It really depends on the tire because there is no standard when it comes to specific tire sizes. For example, the Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial # LHWL304 fits 15" x 5" and 15" x 6" rims, while the Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias # AM1ST96 is the same size tire but it actually fits 15" x 6", 15" x 6-1/2", and 15" x 7" rims.

  • Compatible Modern Tire Size for 8.25-15 and 7.75-15 Size Tires

The 7.75-15 tire would be around 7-3/4 inches wide with an approximate diameter of 27-3/4 inches. The closest modern tire size to the 8.25-15 would be a ST225/75-15, available in bias ply load range D as part # AM1ST96, or in radial load range D as part # AM10256 or load range C as part # AM10251.

Both of the tires you mention are passenger vehicle tires as shown by the letter P before the size. The difference between trailer and passenger tires is the flexibility of the side wall.

It is a bias ply tire. It is rated for 2,402 pounds at 70 psi. The overall diameter is 29.4 inches and the width is 7.8 inches. It fits 15" x 5", 15" x 5-1/2", 15" x 6" rims.
