Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D

Kenda has been around since 1962, so I'm guessing these tires will be good. They certainly look good, and needed very little weight for balance, which is a sign of quality. I also wanted Radials, as here in Texas we have lots of straight, high speed highways. If there are any problems, I'll do a follow-up. 614301

Much better quality tire to replace OEM. Fast Shipping. Really appreciated the technical expertise offered to the consumer. Thanks etrailer.com 226177

These tires are NICE tires! Taller than I expected, which is ok , because I put these tires on my little camper and gave it more ground clearance. I bought these tires because we pull our camper long distances and the bias tires were blowing out quite a bit. I haven't taken out my camper yet for a trial run but hoping these will give me what I need when we travel. 658958

products met expectation, and everything seems to fit as specified. shipped promptly 653060

Ground shipping was free and took only a couple business days which was impressive over the holiday weekend. Wheels/tires look great--very happy so far, can't wait to get them on the skiff trailer. etrailer had the heavier rated tire for this rim size, most were the nylon biased ply--these tires give a better piece of mind for running longer distances given the awful construction conditions in NE FL! 647858

Great product and fast delivery on tires 636991

The people at etrailer were very helpful determining if these tires could replace my old load c rated tires. Haven't pulled the trailer yet, but they did fit the rims and fenders. Look like good tires. 634712

Although I have not had the opportunity to use these tires yet, now that they have arrived they look like good quality tires and I think that they will work great. I have used e.trailer for last three purchases made for my boat and utility trailers. Quality and price always great. One shipping delay 616354

Overall great product and perfect fit. Will see what king of mileage/wear I get out of these tires 605788

I haven't actually mounted the tires yet, but they seem like quality tires by looks and feel. The real hero here is etrailer.com as my order was here two days after placing my order! This is the second very successful transaction I've had with them and won't be the last! 605291

I like the fact that the tires came in a box as not to crush them or deform them like I have received from other companies in the past and makes them hard for people to mount they were in perfect condition extremely happy 545711

Excellent performance...exactly what is expected from everything marketed by etrailer. Trusted vendor that is the exception in the marketplace. 486130

Excellent tires. I have no worries. Except for my aging trailer!

Fastest shipping ever!!!!! Tires look Gr8 too 472673

I am very pleased with my experience doing business with this company. I ordered my tires on a Friday and they were delivered on Tuesday. My biggest concern with ordering tires online is what the date codes are going to be when I get them. The tires I received had a 2017 code, so they were only a few months old, which is excellent. The tires were very well shipped, side by side, in a cardboard box, well protected. I've seen some tires shipped loose and they are subject to all sorts of mishandling along the way. These radial tires will replace the bias tires on my 2015 CSC Esplanade Excel motorcycle pull behind trailer. The expert tips online helped me answer the questions about siz and fit. Thanks for outstanding service! 418054

Great tire, much better than the bias t ype. 417554

This is my third order from etrailer. On all orders very friendly helpful staff. All have shipped fast. I certainly would recommend them 412742

Tires came well packaged in a large box. Had a local garage install on existing wheels, and had them balanced. Tires seem to be just fine. I would certainly recommend the tires and etrailer. 377731

Very helpful from ID'ing the correct tire to getting the tire. It actually arrived a couple of days early. I was very pleased in dealing with the folks at E- trailer. Very good at what they do. As an example, since my shipping address and billing address were different they called to confirm everything was correct. I was very pleased with the quality of service and attention to detail. 312468

Tires unavailable in Canada and was thrilled to get these from you. Everything fits together perfectly and will send photo when project is completed. Amazing delivery service, packaging and timing. 307328

The Tire look great, and the plastic fenders I bought are going to be perfect at a great price. But, also I am very impressed with the quick service and delivery. Good work. I will be back with my next trailer issue. Thanks 304711

Simply the best trailer tire of this size I have found. Wears great! 282360

I have had the best performance and life with these compared to all other trailer tires. I put 5000 hard /long miles at a time and these have withstood the test. Highly recommend. Etrailers service, delivery and follow-up has also been excellent over the years. Thanks George. 282291

Ordered these tires on Saturday night. Received them on Wednesday. Fast delivery, excellent service. 279737

Put these tires on my tent trailer and haven't had any problems with them so far. 276057

Good tire, great service! 271546

Tires arrived earlier than I expected...nice. Tires exactly as I ordered and in excellent condition. I will post another review after I have put a few hundred miles on them. I am anticipating excellent performance and handling characteristics. 263298

Etrailer had the tiresI needed. I put 2 of these tires on my Motorcycle Trailer. Looks good and works great. Nice price for what you get. I like all the products they carry for Trailer's and RV's. 254875

Its been a year and tires holding up great. Love them.

Nice riding tire. 241252

Struggled with the need to replace bias ply tires every year. Tried these and nearly got 4yrs. of heavy use on them. Going on a second pair now and will have a couple good spares. Thanks 216807

I was overjoyed at finding a radial tire in 12 inch. I need to run bias tires with 80 lbs of air to prevent getting hot under load. Even with 30 lbs and empty trailer, it still gets bounced around beat up. Knocks out lights, etc. 12 inch bias tires are cheap, poor mileage wear and won't stay balanced. Shakes the crap outa my trailer. Radials give a soft cushioney ride, tread lays flat (better wear), and better quality, should balance out nicely. I can't check excellent bc I haven't mounted and balanced them yet. 177141

Service from etrailer was excellent. Tires look good. Havent used them yet. 157328

I was surprised how fast these tires arrived, nicely packed in a box. The tires mounted very easy, and look great. After mounting the tires, and putting them on the trailer, I took it for a ride, and it pulls so much smoother with the radial tires, and none of the crazy bouncing it did with the non radial tires. I recommend using radial tires on all trailers, it is a day and night difference than using bias ply tires. Save yourself the driving around searching for radial trailer tires locally, just order them here, you can’t beat the prices, and you save time searching around. 151870

Great product at a faire price. 134662

I am mostly rating eTrailer's service. Those guys are really on the ball. Don't know much about the tires. Bought Kendra because that's what eTrailer had. Dating on tires was 3313. Since they come from china on a slow boat, I guess that's OK. They look good on the popup. 132832

Great and al showed up ahead of time 132126

Works as described. 118126

when I was looking for trailer tires for my tent trailer a friend told me to go to etrailer. the 12" tires are hard to find but etrailer had a lot to choose from. the order was placed late in the after noon.by 10:00 the next morning I received conformation the order was shipped. that was great service. The tires showed up 3 days later. The service was the best Thanks Scott 103119

Great tire, delivered in about a week. Can't find anything like it locally even at the big guys tire store. And they won't mount them for me either. So I learned to put them on myself, takes about 15 minutes for a changeover. Only tools I use are a pair of motorcycle tire irons. Run over the tire w my truck to break the bead, I get about five times the mileage from these as from local-derived bias ply tires on my camper trailer and waverunner trailer 93495

Tire was better than expected for the price. Cheaper than local bias ply tires. 76813

The tire was delivered by UPS 5 days after shipping. Arrived in good shape. It was mounted and balanced the same day and swapped for a defective tire on my light utility trailer. These radials are slightly larger and much higher quality than the stock 4.80x12 bias plys that were provided with the trailer. I had one Karrier S-Trail already mounted so now have a perfect match. Thanks again for the great service. 63331

Product exactly as described and super fast shipping. Thanks, will do business again and would recommend to others. 58763

The ST145/R12 tires ordered were exactly what I wanted. Good job etrailer 55145

excellent online supplier to deal with,got exactly what i ordered in two shipping days,recieved confirmation e-mails,ect. 43447

OK so far. The only issue I have is that the tires I received were already 2 years old, which may be typical for a low-volume odd size. It's great to have the extra load capacity over my 5.30x12 bias ply tires! 40448

Looks like a good tire to me. Good price and quick delivery. 37779

great delivery 34197

Review from a similar Kenda Karrier Radial in Tires and Wheels

I really wanted a D load rated 205/75-14 tire for my travel trailer. But, as with many Chinese imports, the quality just isn't there. Two had catastrophic failures. One of the survivors has part of the steel belt protruding from the casing where the tread meets the sidewall. I'm thinking I will switch to Goodyear Endurance which are American made and are also available from etrailer. 640968
