Radial Tires vs. Bias Tires
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.
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"

The tires and wheels look way more appealing than I anticipated. I haven't had a chance to put them on the road yet other than to make sur they fit. They are going on a Dutchmen tent trailer that is getting renovations. I will send pictures of the finished trailer in the near future. (The tie and wheel look so good, that I will be ordering another soon for the spare.) Extremely pleased!!! 935424

Awesome informative website, provided everything that I needed to make the right decision. I just came back from a 2700+ mile trip to fish the Kayak Bass Fishing National Championship and my kayak trailer tracked perfectly. At times I would forget it was back there. My order was confirmed and shipped within a short time and received in just a few days. I will be a return customer. 617853

After an number of blowouts with Bias Ply load range C tires on our Pop Up, we switched to these Radials rated at load range D - and have zero issues over 10k miles towing. They hold air pressure longer, ride/tow better, and show little wear after a busy season of towing in all conditions - from 100deg in the desert to -15deg @11,000'+ elevation. 6500 mile cross country trip with no issues, and no loss of air pressure over the trip... 310811

Ask the Experts about this Kenda Trailer Tires and Wheels
- Should Factory Bias-Ply Tires Be Replaced With Kenda # KR25 Radial TiresYes, replacing your bias ply tires for Kenda KR25 # AM31208HWTB is a good move with regard to the safety of your cargo trailer and you on your motorcycle. As long as your radial tires are properly inflated, the radial tires will have improved traction and better tread wear which in turn will give you a more stable ride. The main difference between bias ply and radial tires is the construction of the tire and the usage applications. Bias ply tires have stiffer sidewalls and might be used...
view full answer... - Trailer Tires Keep Blowing Out on a Boat TrailerPart # AM31208HWTB is our part number for the Kenda KR25 tire mounted on the HWT Aluminum wheel. There are several reasons why a trailer tire could fail. Since you mentioned the trailer is not overloaded we can rule that out. You also mentioned high speed trips. Few if any 12 inch trailer tires are rated for higher speeds than 65 miles per hour. The faster you go, the more heat is generated. Heat is the number one enemy of the tire. Trailer tires are also made with a thicker sidewall...
view full answer... - Recommendation on Lug Nuts to Fit Aluminum Wheel and Tire ComboThe Chrome Trailer Wheel Lug Nut, # 12CLN, will work well with the # AM32108HWTB that you purchased. This lug nut is 1/2 inch-20 threads per inch. These lug nuts are chrome to give a nice aesthetic look with your wheels and to help resist rust.
view full answer... - 12 inch Trailer Wheel and Tire with over 80 MPH Speed RatingThe speed rating of the tire on the part # AM31208HWTB is 65 mph. In the 12 inch wheel diameter there are only tires rated for 65. If you can go up a size then you can get into the higher speed ratings unless you want to go bias with a Taskmaster part # TTWAS53012WS45HP which has an 81 mph speed rating.

The only center cap we offer that would fit that pilot diameter is the part # AM90113. This cap does not have a removable center section though. Also the center caps that we offer that have the etrailer.com sticker on them are not what we ship to our customers. We put the sticker on the cap to help...

- How to Determine if 145R12 Trailer Tire with 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern Fits Harbor Freight TrailerTo answer your first question, radial tires are superior to bias tires because they run cooler and are less prone to blowouts.

view full answer... - Trailer Wheel and Tire Recommendation to Replace 155/80R13 with Only 1 inch Fender ClearanceHaving only an inch of fender clearance with a smaller than standard 13 inch trailer tire size would indicate you need something smaller as that's not enough clearance. You'd need to go with something a couple inches smaller in diameter like the part # AM31202 for if you have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern or # AM31208HWTB if you have a 4 bolt pattern.

If you're running an 8 inch wheel odds are that you have a single axle trailer so that shouldn't be an issue. If you have fenders on your trailer you may need to remove them. If that isn't a problem then you have two bolt pattern options. 5 on 4-1/2 or 4 on 4. Both bolt pattern options will have an overall diameter of 21.3 inches so you can use that to see how much height you...
