Features to know about

Built for Real Highway Miles: Load Range D with 81-mph Speed Rating

When you’re towing long distances or running loaded down in hot conditions, this tire is made to handle it. The Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire carries a Load Range D rating with an 8-ply design and supports up to 2,540 lbs at 65 psi. With its M speed rating (81 mph) and DOT compliance, it’s a solid choice for steady highway towing without worrying about heat buildup or stability.

Confident Grip in Wet or Dry Conditions: 5-Rib Tread with Silica-Infused Design

Slippery pavement and wet boat ramps don’t faze this tire. Its 5-rib tread pattern spreads the load evenly for smooth wear, while silica-infused tread compound and angled sipes help resist hydroplaning. Whether the road is dry pavement or damp asphalt, it tracks straight and grips predictably for a safe, stable ride.

Smooth, Cool Running Under Load: Radial Construction Advantage

Unlike bias tires that can build up heat on long runs, this radial design uses cords positioned at 90 degrees to the direction of travel. That layout reduces internal friction and rolling resistance for cooler operation, longer tread life, and better handling at higher speeds. It delivers a smooth, quiet ride that feels planted even when the trailer is fully loaded.

Extra Protection That Goes the Distance: 5-Year Limited Warranty and 1-Year Worry-Free Guarantee

This tire isn’t just built tough—it’s backed to prove it. You get a 5-year limited warranty along with a 1-year worry-free guarantee that replaces the tire at no cost if it’s damaged within the first year. That kind of coverage adds peace of mind when you’re logging serious miles.

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"

Video Transcript for Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire Review

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today I'm gonna take a look at this Kenda Karrier ST225/75R15 radial trailer tire in a Load Range D. This is an ST tire, which stands for special trailer tire. It has the study sidewall so that it can handle heavy loads and it created specifically for trailers. It's not intended for use on other vehicles.

The tire itself is a Kenda Karrier special trailer radial tire. It has the steel belts and the polyester plies which combine for superior function and long life. The tread on it is a silica infused tread. And if you look at the tread blocks you'll see the cuts or the openings, those are sipes which reduce hydroplaning. This tire has excellent handling in off-pavement situations.

It is an ST tire. It does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation, specifications. The wheel size this will fit on is 15 inches by five inches wide, 15 inches by 5 1/2 inches wide, and 15 inches by six inches wide. The tire size, which will be stamped on the sidewall, ST, for special trailer, 225/75R15. R means that it's a radial tire.

Section width, 8.6 inches. Overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's inflated is 28.5. The tire is a Load Range D, which means it's an 8 ply rated tire. It has a maximum load capacity of 2,540 pounds at 65 psi. And the last thing I do wanna mention is, now that trailer tires do come with speed ratings, and they stamp it on the sidewall, but it is a letter designation, and where you'll find that is right after the tire size, two numbers for the load index and then the letter M.

Speed Rating M will mean it has an 81 mile per hour speed rating. But that's gonna do it for a look at the Kenda Karrier ST 225/75R15 radial trailer tire in a Load Range D.

I have used the load range E tire of this make and model on my 10,000 GVW equipment trailer. Another cheaper brand had various problems, including sidewall bubbles, tread separation, and rapid wear. In contrast, I have had no issues at all with the Kendra Karrier tires. I expect these load range D tires will perform equally well on my 31 ft Airstream trailer, which has a much lighter GVW and specifies only load range C. The Airstream had been sitting unused for at least 15 years. The tires had few miles use, but sat uninflated and partially squashed for at least a decade. I inflated the old tires, but by the time I finished with the 4th tire, the first one had lost half its pressure. The others leaked, too, so I could see that new tires were needed just to move the trailer to my place. I did some research on line, but again ended up choosing this tire because of my experience with the brand and model. The price is quite reasonable considering the durability. (Those cheap tires actually cost me a lot in lost time, not to mention the risk of having a flat with my expensive equipment loaded.) The tires came exactly 1/2 hour late, but on the day originally planned. I took the wheels to my local shop, where they disposed of the old tires and mounted the new ones, with new valves, for $20 per tire. Obviously, I would buy this brand again.

Fantastic experience all around! I placed the order about 7 AM, it was in UPS's hands about an hour later! The tires were delivered the very next day. All four had the same date code, about 13 months old, which suits me just fine. Walmart got them mounted up and balanced for me, I put them on the trailer, and they are just perfect. Of course I can't speak yet to their longevity, but I hear great things about the warranty, if needed. Etrailer is a fantastic company, I'll definitely be back!
by:
Delivery was faster than expected. Had them mounted at my local tire shop. My only question is when asked to have them balanced the technician said that trailer tires are not required to be balanced, is this true. My other trailer tires purchased from trailer 7 years ago were balanced.
by:
Decent trailer tire for the money.Do not have enough miles on them to fully rate.Switched from Goodyear tires which are definitely better,but almost twice as expensive.Will see if the difference is worth it.
by:
These are great tires. I have pulled this trailer over 200,000 miles. Hence, I’ve gone through a few sets of tires. These tires are wearing extremely well and the trailer tracks nicely.

One year later and the tires still look nearly new. I’ve hit a number of deep pot holes at 45 mph+ and no visible damage to the tires. The trailer still tracks the same as the first day they were installed. I will be buying these tires for my 25 foot travel trailer when the old ones were out.

by:
Placed order on Monday Aug 10, at 4:30 PM. Order arrived on August 13 at noon. Fast free shipping. Thank you. Having mounting and balance today. Triple axle trailer carrying 35' boat with GVW at 20K lb (3,333 lb per wheel). Hot southwest desert climate near Lake Powell. Got these for the extreme conditions. Will send followup review after I have towed the 235 miles to Page.

  • Replacement for Goodyear Marathon ST225/75R15 Tires
    Hey Lee! Goodyear Marathon tires were discontinued and replaced by the Endurance tires. These are available but we only have them as part of a wheel and tire combo # GY97QB and # LH33FR. If USA made tires are something that is important to you I would look around and see if you can find just the tire. I'm guessing you don't want to swap out the wheels, and they're probably pretty specific to the look of your Airstream. If you're fine with tires that aren't made in the USA you can use...

  • Differences between Kenda Karrier KE43KV And AM10256
    Hi Charlie! The Kenda Karrier # KE43KV (10253) and # AM10256 are pretty similar to each other. They both have an M Speed Rating (81mph), have a 2,540 pound capacity at 65 psi, have a Load Range D with 8 ply sidewalls, are ST225/75R15 Radial tires, and have a 5-Year limited warranty with a 1-Year worry-free guarantee. There are a couple differences though, and I have those listed below: # KE43KV -Rim Fits: 15" x 5", 15" x 5-1/2", 15" x 6", and 15" x 6-1/2" -Section width: 8.6" -Outer...

  • Where Are The Kenda Tires KE43KV Manufactured?
    Hello Bob, thanks for getting in touch. The Kenda tires like the # KE43KV you mentioned are made in either Taiwan, Vietnam, China or Indonesia. Each tire has a plant code that shows where it was made. Virtually all trailer tires these days are made overseas and it does seem like the quality of these tires is improving over the years.
