Ask the Experts about this Kenda Trailer Tires and Wheels

• Will Using a Load Range C Trailer Tire Provide a Better Ride than a Load Range D in the Same Size
  If you are talking about the same tire you would want to keep it inflated to the maximum psi indicated on the tire sidewall. With less air pressure the capacity will decrease. Also, when under inflated a trailer tire will build up excessive heat and that can lead to tire failure. So if the tire is rated for 65psi you will want to keep 65psi in it. If the trailer requires load range C tires and you put a load range D on it instead you might notice a stiffer ride because the load range...

• 13 inch Trailer Tire and Wheel Combos with 4 on 4 Bolt Pattern and 2.8 inch Pilot Hole
  The pilot hole on a wheel for a trailer only matters if the wheel secures to the hub using lug bolts instead of lug nuts or if the hole size is too small to fit over the hub. One of our 13 inch tire and wheel combos with the 4 on 4 bolt pattern does have a 2.8 inch pilot hole. It is # AM3S101. I have linked a video review of it for you.

• Do the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13 inch Wheel, part # AM31233, Come Balanced
  The Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13 inch White Wheel, part # AM31233, is received from the supplier already with the tire mounted on the wheel. The supplier does not balance the combination, but when the tire is installed to the wheel they will line the high (heavy) spot on the tire with the low (light) spot on the wheel. This does not completely balance the tire and wheel combination but it does eliminate any excessive out of balance condition. It would be a good idea...

• What Wheel Size is Required for Standard Trailer Towing Speeds
  All of the ST (special trailer) tires that we stock are designed, tested and DOT approved for 65 miles per hour, which is the standard for trailer tires, unless otherwise indicated on the product page. The wheel size and/or tire size does not change the rating or standard speed which the tire is designed to travel at. When towing a trailer, you should select your wheel and tire combination based on the trailer manufacturers recommendation or, if there is no manufacturer recommendation,...

• Differences Between Bias Ply and Radial Tire
  There are two types of tires, a radial ply and bias ply tire. The difference lies in how the tire is constructed. The cords inside the tire are run in different directions. On a bias tire, the cords run at a 32 degree angle at a bias to the direction of travel. On a radial tire, the cords will run at 90 degrees or perpendicular to the direction of travel, across the tire. Because of the way it is constructed, a radial tire will has more flex and will allow ground contact that is more...

• Availability of 175/80-13 Trailer Tire Mounted on Gray Powder Coat Rim
  We don't offer any gray powder coated wheels, but if silver powder coat would come close enough to gray for your liking, we have a solution or tow that would work for you. Since we don't carry a 175/80-13 Load Range D tire mounted on a silver rim, you could purchase the wheel and tire separately. The bias ply tire is part # AM1ST77, or for a radial tire, choose # AM10210. For wheels, you can choose from a 13 x 4-1/2 inch silver powder coated modular wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt...

• What is Best Replacement 175/D13 Trailer Tire: Loadstar ST175/D13, Part # AM31233, or Carlisle
  All other things being equal, it is always preferable to have matching tires on your trailer. Different tire brands may have different tread depths and may wear at different rates due to variances in the formula used in their rubber compound. However, you can use the two different tires if you wish. As we do not offer the Carlisle tires, I suggest you use a second Kenda Loadstar ST175/80D13, part # AM31233, and keep the Carlisle as your spare.

• What Is The Offset of The 13 X 4.5 Inch Wheel on the Americana Tire and Wheel, # AM31233
  The offset on the 13x4.5 inch wheel in the Americana Tires and Wheels, # AM31233, is zero. On most trailer wheels the offset will be zero because the wheel is designed along with the tire to be able to handle a certain maximum load, so you will want the load distributed equally to both sides of the wheel.

• Can I Use a Trailer Wheel with a Different Size Pilot Diameter
  The only time the pilot diameter will matter is if the wheel is hub piloted (wheel is centered by the hub) or if the diameter is too small. So you can use a wheel that has a larger pilot diameter as long as it is stud piloted (centered by the wheel studs). You will be able to use the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire, # AM31233. The Loadstar tire will be about 2 inches wider than your existing tire so you will need to make sure the trailer can accept a tire this size.

• Can a Wheel That Uses 1/2 Inch Wheel Studs Be Used on a Trailer that Uses 7/16 Inch Studs
  In this situation I would actually recommend just replacing the wheel studs themselves. The studs on your current hubs should be able to be knocked out, working at the front side of the hub. That way, you would be able to compare your current studs to ones offered with the 1/2 inch diameter and replace them. You can get a good idea of how the measurements are taken by looking at the diagram on the product page for 1/2 inch wheel stud # RG03-040. I am including a link to all the...

• Wheel and Tire Recommendation for a Boat Trailer with 3,500 lb Boat
  The Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" White Wheel # AM31233 that you referenced has a 1,610 lbs at 65 psi weight capacity per wheel/tire. For your trailer that is towing a 3,500 lb boat this should work well since your trailer has tandem axles. To get the maximum capacity for a trailer tire you need to have it inflated to it's max psi. This wheel has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. You will need to verify that you have the same bolt pattern on your trailer. See linked article. Your...

• Looking for Replacement Wheel/Tires for 1977 StarCraft Galaxy 8 Pop Up Camper
  If your hubs are lug centric, the fact that the # AM31233 has a larger pilot diameter won't cause any problem. If you attach your current wheels with lug nuts (and NOT lug bolts) you have a lug centric wheel. However, if you have a hub centric wheel where the wheels are held on with lug bolts, the pilot diameter of your new wheel would need to match that of your old ones. The # AM31233 wheel/tire combo you mentioned uses a ST175/80-13 tire that's 24 inches in diameter and has a section...

• Can Full-Wheel-Diameter Hub Caps be Installed on Kenda 13-Inch Tire/Wheel # AM31233
  The ST175/80D13 bias-type trailer tire/13-inch wheel combination you referenced, part # AM31233, can be fitted with a full-diameter hub cap. Its outer wheel circumference has the lip required to attach aftermarket full-diameter hub caps. We do not offer these but we do have center caps that will fit the 3.19-inch pilot hole diameter, such as # 319EZ for EZ-Lube spindles, as well as # AM90175.

• Rim and Tire Recommendation for Use with 84550BX Hubs
  For starters it's not recommended to use vehicle rims on a trailer hub. Truck rims are not rated for the vertical loads that trailers see so I would strongly recommend you go with a trailer tire. That being said, the Hub Assembly part # 84550BX that you referenced centers on the lugs so pilot diameter isn't important. This is a lug-centric setup. If the hub used wheel bolts instead of lugs the setup would be considered hub-centric and the pilot diameter would be important. It's also...

• Wheel and Tire Recommendation for Trailer Size ST175/80D13 with Higher Speed Rating
  Yes, the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" White Wheel # AM31233 comes with the tire mounted to the wheel so that you would be ready to throw it on your trailer and be on your way. Since you are concerned about speed rating I have a much better solution for you though. The Taskmaster ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" White Spoke Wheel # A13RWMQ has an M speed rating which means it can go up to 81 MPH. Plus the tire is a radial which will wear better and provide a...

• Recommended 175/80-13 Wheel/Tire for Coleman Pop-Up Camper
  The Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" White Wheel part # AM31985 for radial or Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" White Wheel part # AM31233 for bias is just what you are looking for and they should both work well on a Coleman Pop-Up Camper. I recommend the radial option if you have the extra funds as they will perform better out on the highway.

• Can Bias Ply Spare Be Used on Trailer with Radial Tires
  Yes, as long as the spare tire is the same size, load range (weight rating) and has the matching wheel bolt pattern you can use a bias ply spare to replace a radial main tire for the short distance you'll travel to get the radial repaired or replaced. For example, the 5-on-4-1/2 bias ply # AM31233 can be used as a spare to replace radial # AM31994. You do not want to run the trailer with mixed tires for any substantial distance but to get you to a repair shop it is fine.

• Recommended Axle With 5 On 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern Idler Hubs And Wheels
  I contacted Harbor Freight's tech services line regarding your Haul Master Trailer. Your trailer may have an odd size axle, so the industry standard size parts would not be compatible. Their tech services can't give me the information to help you, so I would need you to pull your hub and give me the bearing number on it for me to tell you if we can change the hubs out for 5 lug or not.

• Does Kenda Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire Part # AM1ST77 Require Changing Rims

• Can I Replace My 5-1/2 Inch Wide Wheels with Smaller 4-1/2 Inch Wide Wheels on a Boat Trailer
  You can use a smaller wheel on your trailer as long as it has the same bolt pattern and a hub diameter equal to or larger than the existing wheels and the weight capacity of the wheel and tire combination are compatible with the trailer and axle. Of course, you would need tires that fit the smaller wheel such as the Loadstar ST185/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire - Load Range D, # AM1ST79. We do offer 5-1/2 inch wide rims, like # AM20304, if you wanted to replace your existing wheels. Or if you...
