1-Year Worry-Free Guarantee
This tire has a 1-year worry-free guarantee. If within the first 12 months the tire is damaged in any way, it will be replaced at no charge.
Bias Tires vs. Radial Tires
Bias ply tires are designed for off-road or agricultural applications. They are built with thick, durable nylon cords that are positioned at a 30- to 45-degree angle to the direction of travel. The layers alternate in a crisscross pattern, making the sidewalls stiffer so that the entire tire is able to flex easily. As a result, the tire provides a smooth ride and improved handling when trailering on uneven surfaces.
Beveled Stud Holes
The stud holes on this steel wheel are beveled to ensure that the wheel stays tight against your trailer hub. This also eliminates the need to constantly retorque the lug nuts.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
Measuring the distance from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.
- If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
- If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
- If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
- If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

Exactly what I needed. Fast shipping as usual for E trailer
by: Calvin03/03/2018
I ordered the 2 Tires Monday afternoon and they were shipped Monday. I received the tires on Thursday and realized that I had ordered the incorrect hole pattern. I email Etrailer.com and they sent me return labels. The return shipping cost was taken out of my credit issued. I liked the tires and wheels very much so I reordered the correct size and ordered 4 more for another larger trailer.

Very happy with the tires and wheels. I got them much sooner than I thought I would, which was free delivery! Tires and wheels came ready to mount. Very please with my experience with etrailer!

Tires and wheels are doing great! Have had no trouble at all with them. Great buy for the price and quality.

Good Experience, sorta...
I was torn on how to write this review. Simply, the wrong item was shipped, but the etrailer team quickly got me the right item, once I worked through the process...
etrailer has been a good resource for me to get trailer parts for a few years, but like many, they seem to be struggling. Inventory, staffing, shipping, customer service, it all seems to be strained.
This is not the first order issue I have had in the last 2 years, and the return process is overly complicated. Why if they have my order number and the item number I need to return, do they need a photo of the item? Why can I not do an exchange? Why as I get requests for a review of my experience am I am sorting through the process of a problem with an order. It seems the right hand does not talk tot he left hand, and a person has to navigate through several different people to get a problem resolved.
So my suggestion is make sure you don't need to go through the return and re-order process, and etrailer, make returns and or exchanges easier.

Tire and rim were shipped promptly and is an exact match for my tires and rims on my 2006 Sunnybrook camper. Reasonable price included shipping. My tire had shredded so I elected to get a tire and rim combo after having to use the spare to complete a trip. Customer communication was excellent and I am very happy with my purchase. Thank you!

Good quality, arrived as advertised. No problems
by: Bryan08/09/2018
A year ago, I ordered a set of (4) wheels and tires since I shredded an old tire on the way home one day, and my wheels on my second-hand trailer were rusted and did not match. Delivery was prompt, exactly as expected, and I am thoroughly satisfied with my purchase one year later. My trailer was once a "landscape" trailer and has faded, powdery blue paint which rubs off on you if you brush up against it. The new wheels and tires look fantastic and probably doubled the value of my trailer of twenty years and have certainly gotten my $$'s worth out of. I am now ordering new wiring and other trailer accessories from etrailer since I had such a great experience with them before, and I intend on keeping this ugly old trailer. etrailer has had my past business, they have my current business, and will have my future business as well.

I put these tires on a two horse bumper pull trailer when we moved across the country last year. I had a lot riding on them literally and figuratively as we loaded up our horses in the middle of the summer to move and had these tires failed, we may have been stuck on the side of the road in 95 degree weather with live animals that would overheat quickly. Despite going through states with poor road maintenance and a couple thousand miles out on them on their main voyage, they functioned just I had hoped and still looked brand new after. All good since then as well, however we don’t use the trailer often or for long distances at the moment.

I am very impressed with this website. A few weeks ago, I had a tire blow out on my 10K 6'x12' dump trailer when I had 3 tons of wood pellets on it on my way home. As soon as the old tire blew I pulled over and changed it out. I found the old tire and rim was destroyed. I searched locally for a new tire and rim for my trailer. I found that Les Schwabb's price for a rim and tire was $250 and the tire was very poor quality. I searched the web and found etrailer. I found the tire and rim I needed quickly and I also found it for about $100 dollars cheaper than Les Schwabb. I could not believe how expensive Les Schwabb was and how much they charged for a simple trailer tire and rim. I am very happy with the new trailer tire and rim I got from etrailer and I will continue to do business with etrailer from now on when I need things for my trailer. The trailer tire and rim from etrailer was much better quality than Less Schwabb. Definitely don't buy anything from Les Schwabb as they are a total rip off and greedy!

The excellent rating is for the delivery, they arrived in two days by UPS ground (initial estimate was 5-7 days). Since these tires & wheels have not rolled yet, it is hard to say how well they will perform. They replaced some very old 7.00-15LT's on my boat trailer, they should upgrade the look at the very least, and the 20% increased (tire) load capacity is a definite plus as a safety factor. The trailer bearings and brake system have been replaced, and the tires/wheels will top off the package.
by: Martha G.04/27/2017
Ordered tire & wheel for my dump trailer. ETRAILER is the best company I have ever dealt with. The order was processed, shipped, and received in 3 business days. They send you emails and tracking info. Also the tire had an up to date, date code and shipping was free. I know who I will be buying my trailer items from, for now on.
by: Steve F. 06/29/2017
Once again, extremely pleased with my order from etrailer. Ordering was easy. Product arrived quickly and was in excellent condition. Emails were sent to me from the company with status of shipping. My two trailer wheels and tires (AM3570) look great. This is a quality company in every way.

Tire showed up at the right time looks good and the UPS man was smart enough to put the box on my trailer!! LOL

Ordered a spare wheel & tire for my recently purchased 2013 Haulin Trailer, it is an exact copy of the wheels and tires already on the trailer. Perfect Spare, received in a matter of 4-days, and no shipping cost. have been a customer for years and the only place I go for my RV and now enclosed trailer needs.
by: Kerry04/11/2017
I recently bought a travel trailer. I asked about a spare and was quoted close to [$$$] for a spare tire, mount, and cover. I bought all of that for less than a third of the price from etrailer and mounted it in less than 15 minutes.
Great deal.
by: Jeff05/25/2019
I saw the reviews on this wheel and tire and feel that it will do exactly what I need when the time comes I have a blowout on the highway and need to use this. As always with my orders from etrailer, they have shipped in a timely manner and they care about customers feedback to help manage there products they carry. I would recommend them to anyone with trailer needs
by: Danny C.03/15/2017
I am very pleased with the tires and wheels I purchased, the price was very good and the shipping was very fast. The wheels are of excellent quality and it was nice to buy them with the tires already mounted. The tires also seem to be very good quality I will definitely be checking with etrailer for my trailer needs from now on.
Thanks for a great product.
by: Wayne06/13/2020
Recieved my order pretty quick. Tires and wheels I orderd are perfect. Glad I went through trailer once again. Will be ordering two more soon. Thank you so much.
by: Jason01/14/2019
I have been running these Loadstar K550's for years and they are good tires. I have used them on everything from utility trailers, RV's, boat trailers ect..... Great value and performance. This is my first time ordering from "etrailer" and the price was very competitive. Fast shipping and good packaging= I will be using etrailer in the future. Thanks

- Best Value Trailer Tire and Wheel with Size ST225/75-15 Load Range D with 6 Lug Bolt PatternThe best priced trailer wheel and tire with the size ST225/75R15 with a Load Range D on a wheel with a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern is the Kenda Karrier part # AM32664.
view full answer... - Tire Replacement Recommendation for a H78-14 Trailer TireFrom the research I did it looks like your H78-14 tires are 27.8 inches in diameter. Which the closest size we offer that is compatible is the ST215/75R14 like Karrier ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10229. This tire has a diameter of 26.8 inches which would be about an inch shorter in diameter than what you have. Is that too short? What problems will you experience if your tires aren't as tall as your current ones? Ground clearance? If so, you might be interested in a Dexter axle...

You will need a wheel with a matching 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern and I also recommend going with a bias tire because they have stiffer sidewalls than radial tires, meaning it...
view full answer... - Wheel Offset of Taskmaster ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire with 15 White Wheel # AM3S870Yes, this wheel has a zero offset. Nearly all trailer rims (including the part # AM3S870 that you referenced), have a zero offset. I attached a review video for this wheel/tire combo for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Are Bias Tires Okay for Highway UseYes, you can definitely use bias tires, like part # AM3S870 you looked at, on the highway. Bias tires weren't really designed for off-road use per se but they are better for it. Likewise radials are better for highway use than bias tires and you'll likely get more life out of them. But either work for either application. Bias tires were actually much more common on all trailers for quite some time because the cost of radials was a lot higher. Now that the prices are closer to the same...
view full answer... - Can an ST225/75-15 Trailer Tire be Used in Place of a 7.00-15LT TireThe 7.00-15 tires you have are not exactly the same size as an ST225/75D15 tire. The 225/75 is going to be about 1/4 inch wider and a little over an inch shorter. So # AM3S870 would work as a temporary spare but not in the long term. You would want to get a replacement size 7.00-15LT as soon as you could. It does have the blue and red pin stripes on the wheel.
view full answer... - Replacement Tires for Trailer Using 14.5x7 TiresTire size 14.5x7 is common on ATVs and most often these are found on 12-inch rims. Such a tire has an overall diameter of 14-1/2-inches, so your measurement of 27-inches suggests that perhaps you have a different tire size? Tires with similar overall diameter to your measurement include the 205/75-14 size which are approximately 26.3-inches and size 215/75-14 which are approximately 26.7-inches in overall diameter. I linked for you a helpful article on tire sizing as well as our main...
view full answer... - Smallest Baby Moon Hubcap Option For Trailer WheelsI took a look at what we carry, and while we do carry plenty of Baby Moon hubcaps, the smallest sized hubcap we carry is the: -Phoenix USA Baby Moon Hubcap # PX1307SS which fits a 13"-15" wheels with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern, like the Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire with 15" White Wheel # AM3S870.
view full answer... - Why Do Trailer Tires Have Higher PSI Listing Than Passenger Vehicle TiresPassenger vehicle tires do typically have a have a recommended psi of between 30 and 35 psi, like what you mentioned in your question. Special Trailer tires, however, like the Loadstar ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ White Wheel # AM3S870 that you were looking at will have much higher maximum psi listings. This is simply because trailer tires are built with a thicker and stronger sidewall, enabling them to handle higher air pressure along with higher loads. The above mentioned Provider...
view full answer... - Recommended Air Pressure on Trailer Tires That Are Not Loaded to The Maximum Load CapacityWe always recommend to run the maximum air pressure stated on the sidewall of the tire. That is the safest thing to do because then you have the maximum weight capacity covered for any type of load you will be hauling. On the Kenda Tire and Wheel Assembly, part # AM3S870, you have referenced, the maximum load capacity for the ST225/75D15 tire is 2,540 lbs at 65 psi. You can lower the air pressure in your tires, but that will lower the weight capacity of that tire. That would work fine...
view full answer... - Is it Necessary to Balance a Trailer Tire/Wheel Before UseThe tire/wheel combinations that we sell, such as Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire with 15-inch White Wheel # AM3S870, are not fully dynamically balanced like an automobile tire/wheel. However, when mounted together the tire's low spot and the wheel's high spot are matched. This provides a degree of balancing but it is not the same as a true dynamic balance like what a tire shop does when they mount a new tire to one of your car's wheels. Trailer tires are less sensitive to balance...
view full answer... - Spare Tire for a Vintage Trailer with ST205/75-R15 TiresI do have an option for you but if the tires you have on your trailer now are ST205/75-R15 then I do not recommend using the Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire with 15" White Wheel part # AM3S870 because they are different sizes (205/75-15 Vs. 225/75-15) and construction (Radial Vs. Bias). For a spare tire for you trailer I recommend using the Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Vesper White Spoke Wheel part # TA23MR because it has the same size, construction, load range,...
view full answer... - Does the Loadstar Trailer Tire with Wheel Require BalancingThe Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire with 15" White Wheel part # AM3S870 as with any trailer wheel or tire will not require any sort of machine balancing. They are pre-balanced from the factory to an extent which is suitable for use on trailers .
view full answer... - 5,200 lb Trailer Axle RecommendationThe only axles we offer that have a high enough weight capacity would be the Timbren setup like part # ASR5200S01. This is actually an "axle-less" system that attaches to the trailer frame and provides an axle setup that is somewhat similar to a torsion setup. If you are looking for more of a standard axle you would need to find a local trailer shop who can custom order you in what you would need. For hub drums you would need the part # 8-201-5UC3-EZ and the brake assemblies # AKEBRK-7R-SA...
view full answer... - Will There Be Sufficient Clearance To Mount Kenda Tire and Wheel # AM3S870I walked out to our warehouse and pulled the Kenda Tire and Wheel, part # AM3S870. I measured from the back of the mounting flange on the wheel to the edge of the tire. I shot a video showing these measurements for you to checkout. I have also linked an FAQ on trailer tires.
view full answer... - Replacement Wheel and Tire Recommendation for Trailer that Needs H78-15 TiresThe H78-15 tire size is the same as the 225-75-15 like what is on the part # AM3S870 that you referenced. As long as your trailer hubs have a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern this tire and rim combo would fit and work well for you. If you are unsure of your bolt pattern I attached a help article that covers how to determine this.
view full answer... - Replacement Wheel and Tire Combo for 1994 Four Winns Boat TrailerAlthough the Loadstar Wheel and Tire Combo you referenced, part # AM3S870 would work well for you, had you considered going with the radial equivalent, part # AM32664? Both the bias-ply and the radial are rated at 2,540 lbs per tire. Radial tires generally run cooler, which will lead to longer tire life. For maximum tire life, be sure to keep tires inflated to the maximum psi as recommended by the tire manufacturer, which in the case of these tires is 65psi.

First it will only be noticeable at slower speeds, then all the time. You will also experience a shaking or vibrating steering wheel.

For a single axle trailer you would have a total tire/wheel capacity of 5,080 lbs and for a dual axle trailer you would have a total of 10,160 lbs.

view full answer... - Does Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire Require BalancingThe tire and wheel combos we carry are not machined balanced. You can have the tire and wheel combos balanced at a local tire shop if you wanted to. What our tire manufacturers will do is line up the light spot on the tire with the heavy spot on the wheel. This is a type of balancing but not like how car tires are balanced (with weights on a balancing machine).

What the manufacturer does though is match the tire's heavy spot with the wheel's light spot when mounting them. This is a type of balancing that is sufficient for a trailer tire and there is no reason you would need to have them machined...

Tires are holding up very well. Took a 500 mile trip with no problems. Put a lot of weight on the trailer, but it pulled very well, great tires for the price.
