Features to know about
Built for Real Highway Miles: Load Range E with 81-mph Speed Rating
This radial special trailer tire is made to handle serious highway runs and heavy loads without breaking a sweat. It’s Load Range E with a 10-ply rating and carries up to 3,640 lbs at 95 psi. With its M-speed rating (81 mph) and DOT compliance, it’s ready for high-speed hauls and long-distance towing that demand consistency and control.
Smooth, Confident Handling on Wet or Dry Roads: 5-Rib Radial Design
The 5-rib tread pattern keeps the contact patch flat so wear stays even across the surface. Silica-infused tread and angled siping help reduce hydroplaning, giving you dependable traction whether the pavement’s hot and dry or slick from rain. It’s the kind of balance that makes every mile feel steady and predictable.
Keeps Cool Under Heavy Loads: Radial Construction Advantage
Radial cord placement at a 90-degree angle means less internal friction, so the tire runs cooler and resists heat buildup. That lower rolling resistance leads to longer tread life and more stable steering at higher speeds—exactly what you want when you’re running loaded in warm weather or on extended trips.
Built for the Long Haul: Dimensions That Fit Standard Rims
Sized ST235/85R16 with a 9.3" section width and 31.6" outer diameter (when inflated), this tire fits 16" x 6", 16" x 6-1/2", 16" x 7", and 16" x 7-1/2" rims. That range gives you solid fitment options while keeping your trailer tracking straight mile after mile.
Extra Peace of Mind: 1-Year Worry-Free Guarantee
For the first twelve months, if the tire is damaged in any way, it’s replaced at no charge under Kenda’s worry-free guarantee. Add in the 5-year limited warranty, and you’ve got confidence built right into every trip.

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.
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"

Video Transcript for Feature Review Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire
Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Kenda Karrier ST235/85R16 radial trailer tire in a Load Range E. Now, this is an ST tire, which means it's a special trailer tire. Has a sturdy sidewall, so that it can handle heavy loads. And it is created specifically for trailers, it's not intended for use on other vehicles. It is a Kenda Karrier special trailer radial tire, uses steel belts and polyester plies, which combine for superior function and long life.
The tread on it uses a silica-infused tread. And then if you look at the tread blocks, you'll see these cuts or openings. Those are sipes that'll help reduce hydroplaning. This tire's also excellent handling in off-pavement situations. It is an ST tire, it does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications.
Now, the wheel size this tire will fit on is a 16 inch by six inch wide, 16 by 6 1/2 inch wide, and a 16 by seven inch wide wheel. The tire size, which will be stamped on the sidewall, ST for special trailer, 235/85R16. R means that it is a radial tire. Section width on it is 9.3 inches. Overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's inflated is 31.6 inches.
And this tire is a Load Range E, which means it's a 10-ply rated tire. Has a maximum load capacity of 3,640 pounds at 95 psi. And the last thing I do wanna mention is they do come with a speed rating now. And they stamp it on the sidewall, but it is a letter designation. And where you'll find it is right after the tire size.
There's two numbers for the load index, and then a letter M. Speed rating M will mean this is an 81 mile per hour speed rating. But that's gonna do it for our review on this Kenda Karrier ST235/85R16 radial trailer tire in a Load Range E.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tires are still in very good shape but they’re over 10 years old. You can see in picture. etrailer workers are very professional and pleasant to ask questions what you needs.

Replacement for tires that aged out (>5 years old). Put on a quality rim from etrailer many times. I balance and use new valves each replacement. They are poor as they all needed too much weights to balanced them out - even the tech said wow and checked his machine was ok! I don’t believe there speed rating being that out of wack. I will probably replace sooner and will need to check wear. Do not recommend.

I was so excited to get these tires! We found an older Aliner trailer and it needed new tires. I just didn't want to get the generals and was pleased with the quality and price of these. Thanks for giving us a choice etrailer!!

Best trailer tires I’ve owned. Great in all weather and I pull my trailer year round. These tires shed water like a duck and go good on the rougher terrain as well.

I love the way you explained how the tires take on wet roads. Also, I wanted to ask if those were kennels on your trailer.

Installed these awesome tires as an upgrade last week. Mounted and road force balanced them, adding metal valve stems to screw on my aftermarket TPMS sensors.
The tires were only 5 months old (build date 4825). I replaced the OEM ST175/80R13 tires with these ST185/80R13. They have less rolling resistance you can easily feel when accelerating from a stop or cruising. Gas mileage went up 1 MPG on my 260 mile trip this weekend in the rolling hills of Mississippi. These tires run cooler too, only gaining 6 PSI instead of 10 PSI like the OEM tires. The camper rides better too. Even my wife noticed it pulls easier and rides better. I also noticed I could turn up my brake controller to 4.25 instead of 4 without locking up the tires now.
Wow! What's not to love about these Kenda Karrier ST185/80R13 tires. Thanks E-trailer.com :o)

Joy T Nailed It!
I was shopping for a replacement Trailer Tire but was not sure/confident of buying the exact one. Joy T took the time to review all my specs., identify the correct Tire and expedited the purchase.
I received the tire the next day after ordering it after 3:00pm CST.
Amazing.
This morning I went to etrailer.com again to buy a few more things as I am confident they will again, exceed my expectations.

Well they are a lot younger then the last two that I purchased. About five months old. Hopefully they will last. Shipping is excellent.

Oh my, they are still holding air. So far this year they made it to Orlando and Racine, about 4200 miles. Going through Illinois. I thought for sure Id have to air down due to road conditions. But they did fine.

Sorry to hear about your trouble, looks like the trailer is ok for the most part so that is good news. For similar wheels with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern we have the Maxxis ST235/80R16 Radial Tire w/ 16" Eagle Aluminum Wheel # MXS87FR. I know you said you measured but I would double check just to be sure. You're going to lose 1" of clearance on the top of the tire over the tires you have now. If you're looking for a wheel that is a closer match we have the all black Aluminum...

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.
