Radial special trailer tire with automotive-grade tread has a ply rating of 8 and a 1,220-lb max load at 65 psi. Designed for highway use. Constructed of double steel belts and full nylon plies. Fits 12" wheels.
Features:
Specs:
Unlike standard trailer tire tread, which has solid, continuous ribs, the automotive-grade, computer-generated tread on these Karrier S-Trail radials has ribs with breaks. These breaks allow water to run off to the sides. The Karrier S-Trail tread also has sipes. Siping is a process in which thin grooves (or sipes) are cut into the rubber of the tire. The grooves channel water away from the tread so that the tire makes better contact with the road. Both of these features greatly improve traction during wet, snowy, or icy conditions.
Karrier S-Trail radials are constructed with double steel belts and full nylon plies for increased durability and endurance. The premium rubber compound materials of this tire help disperse heat.
Radial ply tires are designed for trailers that are towed on the highway. The cords on a radial tire are positioned at a 90-degree angle to the direction of travel so that they lay across the width of the tire from wheel lip to wheel lip. This construction prevents the cords from rubbing against one another when the tire flexes, unlike the cords on a bias ply tire. As a result, radial tires have less rolling resistance and heat buildup, which leads to a longer tread life and improved steering at higher speeds.

Chose these mostly for the load and speed rating as I use my trailer primarily on the hiway.
Tire was back ordered, I waited, not needed right away. New tire has a date code of 5/21, 14 months old already. Also ordered a halogen light. The box was 2.5 times too big. Halogen light was unwrapped and unprotected in the box. I hope it works. Big fail on this one!

I am so sorry that this happened to you! Was your light damaged in any way?

Light was scratched, and cover had rubber marks on it from the tire. I was replacing an identical light. My old cover was fine, so I used what I had. I made it work.
Bought these as an upgrade for my boat trailer. Typical 4.80x12 tires would be totally gone in 2 seasons. After 1 full season, these still look terrific. Will purchase again when these finally wear out.
Great tires so far. They hauled my motorcycle from Michigan to Texas and back 1200 miles each way without any blowouts.
I pull my boat on interstate to most my fishing locations on average I was changing the bias tire I was using every 2500 to 3000 miles. Sine installing the kenda radial I have pulled boat to Pennsylvania and back over a thousand miles and tires still look new. More than pleased
Bought these to replace the 15 year old tires that came with my camper. Had them mounted at a local tire store and they look great. Have not towed with them yet. Did this in conjunction with a Dexter axle lift.
These are exact replacements for old tires on my Coachmen popup trailer. Kenda has been reliable for me for 10 years. The whole process was seamless from confirmation to multiple shipping status updates.
I have used the tires for a total of 12 times in two weeks total in the past year and I dont think I am a good person to review the tires. But they did hold air and no dry rot sitting in the sun for 12 months. Sorry I could not be of more help

Your review is great! We love to hear your opinions and experiences with the product.
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!
Trail so nice for my motorcycle trailer project, the cheap bias ply were like a pogo stick compaired to these
These tires are exactly what i needed. They came fast and didnt cost an arm and a leg. Tractor supply tires didnt last a month hauling my Z turn mower. They had a poor load rating of 745lbs. These are rated at 1220lbs and handle tye weight of my mowing equipment without fail. I will be ordering a backup set soon!
Great fit. Was just what I wanted. Was time to get rid of the old bias ply tires. Used them for a couple of hundred miles and over some rough mountain roads. Held up well. Looks like a winner!
I love how quickly they arrived from Texas to Wisconsin. I haven't mounted them yet, but overall I am very pleased with my experience. Go Packers!
Very nice quality tire, great speed and load rating for the size tire it is.
Ordered 5/26 with a promise of delivery 6/3 .. tires were delivered 5/28 .. $10 less than my local dealer if he could even get this model .. he is a Kenda dealer, he did relate Kenda trailer tires are the best out there. etrailer is the best.

Been on over a year still looking like new. Tread wear is excellent, no indications of any stress on sidewalls, no cupping or any othe indication of uneven wear. Thoroughly satisfied. Would buy again, but given how they are wearing it may be a few years.
I bought these for our 4 x 8 Carryall trailer. My sister and I use the trailer behind our Subarus a lot for hauling stuff to, from, and around our little farm, hauling the 4 wheeler, kayaks and canoes, when we go camping, hauling firewood, gravel, fertilizer, etc. etc. etc. It's cheaper than having a truck!
Overall I am impressed. Surprised at first by how they were packed - tread to tread in a large heavy cardboard box. I've bought other small tires elsewhere and had them come so tightly banded together that it made it hard to spread the beads to get them to seat. I mounted these with a couple old tire irons we have here on the farm, took less than 5 minutes for the 2, (I'm a 72 year old woman) they took air right away and the beads seated with less than 20 PSI.
They look good! They are a little bigger in diameter and in tread width. The 4.80/12 tires they replaced always looked... skinny. These look like real tires. The tread pattern is impressive too. It's a water moving automotive design, not the squiggly grooves of the old tires.
I was always concerned putting 90 PSI in the old ones in order to carry the weight, especially as they are now almost 20 years old, weather cracked and well worn. These new tires max inflate at 65 PSI.
We had 6" of snow the day after I mounted them and I had to go pick up some lumber. The trailer handled beautifully on the snow covered and then wet roads. It rides nicer too, not as jumpy as it was empty. Time will tell how they hold up, too soon to tell.
But.... as noted above, they are noticeably wider than the 4.80s they replaced, they extend beyond the fenders about an inch, a fact I had not anticipated. They threw an awful lot of slop on the lumber from the wet roads, and I'm concerned that a heavy load might bring the outside flange of the fender into contact with the tread. I guess I'm going to have to do something about the fenders. Time to fire up the welder! LOL

Well we cut the fenders in half lengthwise fired up the welder and added 2 inches to their width. That resolved the issue of the tires throwing slop. Taint particularly pretty, but its functional. As for the tires, they are fine. Weve run them a year now, out on the road and around the farm. Im pleased with them. We tend to load our trailer heavy, just had 560 board feet of green lumber on it, the tires didnt seem to mind at all. Except for the mud on them, they look as good as new. They ride well, have not given me any issues at all.
I put the four tires on my pontoon boat trailer. I've drove all around the upper Midwest about 2,000 miles and the trailer tires have been working perfectly very happy with the tires and the customer service was excellent, would recommend these tires to anybody.
Great service and good looking tires. Definitely do this again!
Excellent tire super fast shipping love etrailer!
Got the tire when promised and your tire video and description of it was spot on. I’m ready to roll!
Very quick very fast service!! The two tires came in a box and they weren't shrink wrapped to the point where they needed to be thought out to get mounted!
Quick shipping and just what I ordered, thanks.
I gave my friend with the same trailer the information so he could order too
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.
I'd recommend this to anyone needing this size trailer tire.
I was very happy with my first order I placed with your company. I received my order in good time and it was packaged very good. It was a very good price for my tires and I definitely will recommend you to my friends. I will be happy to buy from you again.

Ive run a few loads down the hiway with these tires. They run better than the original bias belted tires ever did. I went with these mainly for hiway use for higher speed and load rating and theyve done well.
