Specs:
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.
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.

Today we're going to take a look at the Kenda Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire, any load range E. This is a special trailer tire design that'll provide the strength of a bias tire, as well as the durability and stability of a radial tire. This is created specifically for trailers, it's not intended for use on other vehicles. They use the double steel belts, full nylon plies combine for a nice superior function and long tire life. The tread design is a nice computer generated tread design and uses premium rubber compound materials. Give you maximum traction in wet or dry conditions. Give you a very smooth ride, excellent stability at highway speeds.
This is an ST tire, which means special trailer. It does meet the Department of Transportation specifications. A few specs on this tire: it is designed to mount onto a wheel size of 15 inches by 6 inches wide, 15 by 6 and 1/2 inches wide, and 15 by 7 inches wide. The tire size, which will be stamped on the side wall, right down here, it'll say ST for special trailer, 225/75R15 the R means it's a radial tire. Section width on this tire is 8.9 inches.
Overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's inflated, is 28.4. this is a load range E, which means it's a 10 ply rated tire. Has a maximum load capacity of 2,830 pounds at 80 PSI. One last thing I do want to mention is all your new trailers are coming stamped with a tire speed rating now. A speed rating on a tire is always labeled with a letter designation. Where you'll find that is if you go right where the size is that we read off, right after it, you'll see right up here, there's 2 numbers, which are the load index and then right after it is the letter M.
A speed rating M is 81 miles per hour. So this tire does have an 81 mile per hour speed limit. That should do it for the review on the Kenda Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire in a load range E.

Great tires, seem to be doing well after a year. 406089
Service at trailer is outstanding. Adam helped me locate the rims and tires for my 1951 Spartan Imperial Mansion. He worked directly with the supplier of the product to find me what I needed -- black rims and tires. They had them delivered to me in two days at no charge. You can't beat etrailer.com for value and service. I'll be buying more from them for sure. 436178
New tires arrived VERY quickly. Amazingly fast delivery .......5 tires arrived in individual boxes, very impressive delivery system!! Tires appear to be very heavy duty re sidewalls, I did read the reviews before ordering and am hoping for good results. Not exactly happy that the build dates on the tires are over one year old..........and yes I did read the rebuttle to someone elses pointing out the one year old thing. Tires made in China. Hoping for the best based upon many positive reviews. 567758
I have not mounted the tires yet, although I have had good experiences with Kenda tires in the past. But the prompt and courteous service that Judy and George provided is second to none. They quickly responded about a price match and when I turned around the tires had already been shipped and were here about two days later. Being new to the fifth wheel camping world, I have found etrailer's prices to be great and the instructional videos are a huge resource. Can't say enough about the great service. Thanks again!- Erik 434311
Tires arrived yesterday. They are from China and they are over a year old looking at the date code 3217 not very happy . Nothing on the tires showing that they are made by Kenda that was advertise. 556108
Mike L - 08/22/2018Just read the reviews! 677531
My son had good things to say about these tires and I wanted to try a different brand after having some issues with the ones I was using. I checked with my local guy and he couldn't get these. Found them on etrailer and they had the lowest prices with free shipping. Problem was I needed them for the weekend and you know how shipping goes, they are never there when they say they will be. Well I spent $25 extra to get them here in three days. I could not believe it, they were here in three days! Must have been that two hours after I ordered them I already had a tracking number, that must have helped! I got them mounted up with my new valve stems and they are looking good. 288581
I tried unsucessfully to order tires from simpletire.com but their web site would not process my order over the weekend so on monday i tried all day to talk to anybody to help me out but never got thru so tuesday i decided that if i cant even get thru to the sales dept why would i want to purchase there so i looked around and etrailer had the exact tires i wanted and a 110% low price garrantee so i called to get assistance and Judy answered and got me all hooked up i had to purchase them full price then she credited my account within 15 mins they were shipped that day and they were at my house thursday when i got home - Awesome, they came in individual boxes and when i opened them up and checked it out they were all the correct size and load rating and the build date on all the tires were 4516 which means they were built in the 45th week of 2016 which makes them about 3 and a half months old i am very pleased with Judy and all her help and etrailer for the super fast shipping i will be shopping here in the future 361002
mike B - 04/02/2018I went on a trip for 2 weeks and 4480 towing with my Airstream and these tires handled well. No problems with them at all. When not in use the trailer is parked in a garage, so not subject to any elements. The tires held well, no air pressure loss and did as expected for a trailer tire 336359
Awesome site, fast service, 10 out of 10, Recommend it for Everyone 801404
Best transaction I’ve had online. They had the tires I needed in stock and received them in less than three days. This is my second order from Etrailer.com and will not be the last.. The tires came in individual boxes and were Not damaged at all. I highly recommend doing business with this company. 801177
I have been using these tires for years on several different trailers. I am very satisfied with them. I have hauled some heavy loads on my car trailer and never had a problem with the tires. 771303
We have a 5th wheel & we normally travel about 3 months a year. However, this year we are traveling 6 months and we will be home by the end of April. So far we have traveled in 27 states and about 14,000 miles. I can't say enough about how good these tires have performed. Especially, since many of the roads and highways we have traveled are very rough. The tires are performing greatly, no flats, very good thread wear, (even on all four), no noise, no problems. I love them. + 765550
After a year of use, The tires are working great on my dump trailer. Great tire! 765428

I ordered the best 15X6 wheel and tire I could find from e trailer. I have received the wheels and tires in a very timely manner. I have installed them on my trailer. They look excellent. Time will tell if they hold up. So far, I recommend e trailer. 733222
I have ordered from etrailer.com previously and every experience has been great! The product was exactly as it was described and well packaged, the prices are great, checkout was easy, and the shipping was exceptionally quick! 721776
This is a good quality trailer tire that to me has been proven it's self dependable and reliable. 718868
Always have what I need and shipped to me the same day! Thank you! 716459
good tires have on heavy toy hauler when we changed form original tires to these you could feel the lessened rolling resistance , trailer moved much easier. Have gone a several long distance trips with these 2,000 miles plus with these towing a loaded heavy trailer . They handle weight well and have no bad traits. Picked up a spare tire from etrailer going on another trip a spare was original 12 yrs old. Hopefully i never use bought load range E and have them set at max inflation pressure. 716145
