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.
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.

Today we're going to take a look at the Kenda ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire in a load range D on this 13-inch white eight-spoke steel trailer wheel with the 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.Now this is a Kenda Karrier Special Trailer Radial Tire. It is a special trailer tire design so it does couple the strength of a bias tire with the durability and stability of a radial tire. It is created specifically for trailers. It's not intended for use on other vehicles. They do use double steel belts, full nylon plies, combined for a nice superior function and long life. They use a nice computer generated tread design in premium rubber compound materials.
Gives you superior traction in wet or dry conditions.The wheel it's mounted on is a Dexstar steel trailer wheel. Has an eight-spoke design to it. It is coated with a night e-coat first. Then the white powder coat over the front and the back of the wheel. This will help resist rust and corrosion.
This whole tire and wheel assembly does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation, specifications.A few specs on this. We'll start with the wheel. The diameter on the wheel, which is always measured inside to inside or bead seat to bead seat, is 13-inch diameter. The width on just the wheel is four and a half inches wide. The bolt pattern on this wheel is a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.
If you want to measure that on a wheel like this, that's an odd number of lugs, in this case five, you just pick one of the holes. Let's say this one and then you'll measure across directly to either one of these holes but when you measure it's from the center of the starting to the furthest edge of the hole that you measure to. On this one it'll measure four and a half inches. This'll give you 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.The weight capacity on just the wheel is 1,660 pounds. The wheel lug size this uses is a 1/2-inch by 20.
The pilot hole diameter, it's the large hole here in the center of the wheel goes over the hub on your trailer. The diameter of that opening is 3.19 inches.Now the tire size, which will be stamped on the sidewall, right down here it'll say ST for Special Trailer. 175/80R13. The R means it's a radial tire. Section width on this is seven inches. Overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's inflated, it's 24.1. This tire is a load range D, which means it's an eight ply rated tire. It does have a maximum load capacity of 1,650 pounds at 70 psi.The last thing I do want to mention is most all the new trailer tires are coming through with a speed rating. It's designated on the sidewall by a letter designation. Right after the size we just went over, you'll see two numbers after it and then a letter M. The letter M will stand for 81 mile per hour speed rating.But that should do it for the review on the Kenda ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire in a load range D on this 13-inch white eight-spoke steel trailer wheel with the 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

It arrived quickly and is a perfect replacement for the rusted out original. 517363
I've ordered from them three times all three times got exactly what I ordered and got them in a timely manner. Very satisfied 515584
Had a blow out not too long ago on a trailer while towing our pontoon boat. Decided to replace both tires and after a lot of research I decided to go with the Karrier load star tires and rim combo... I placed my order during the weekend... My order was shipped out first thing that monday morning and was at my home thursday... btw, shipping was free....Just mounted the rims and tires on the trailer today so I can't say how good or bad the tires are, but this particular tire got better than avg. reviews, which is why I ordered it. My experience with Etrailer has been wonderful... Before placing my order I emailed customer service with a few questions.. got a quick response the next day.. When I called to place my order, the young man that took the order was very friendly, very courteous and most importantly very helpful... After the product was delivered I got another email from etrailer asking if everything was ok with the order. Like I said, customer service at etrailer has been exemplary. IF and when I have a need for trailer parts or products, I'll be going back to Etrailer to place my order... couldn't be happier with the way they handled my order... Roland 43520
I bought another one for a spare. My spare has to be as good or better than the road wheels. Once the spare is used, I'd have trouble if the other one went. 391492
Second set of 13" radial tires for my boat trailer. First set lasted 5 years with no problems until recently as one of the radial tires had a belt separate (but no blow out). I had never balanced the old tires, but had read comments that it is a good idea to balance trailer tires. Glad I did, as both wheels needed weights, and one needed 2 ounces to balance! I can only imagine how important that will be in the smoothness of the trailer and longer tire life. I'm very satisfied with my tires and hope I can get another 5 years service out this set. 411451
Not a big selection locally and all were load range C. For a few dollars more I got the better load range D tires. Working in the landscaping supply business (mulch, stones, gravel) it is painfully obvious how few people know the weights of these materials. A small amount weighs a ton, add in the weight of your trailer and soon you are pushing the capabilities of those cheaper tires and axles. Play it safe, when fixing the trailer upgrade to better tires, springs and axles. A small price to pay instead of a broken trailer breaking down or causing car accidents. 554463
etrailer.com had the d rated tires i needed, at a great price AND shipping included. They held the shipment until I returned home to replace the C rated tires I needed to buy while on the road. Great service, tech information (such as going to a larger tire). Really an excellent buying experience!! 145343
BG - 08/17/2015After swapping the tires to rims of the correct bolt circle all has gone fine. The tires perform well with no odd wear issues at all. I just wish e trailer would publish bolt circle info, my advice is to call them if you have an odd size like tracker marine likes to use. At least I was able to sell the rims to someone else. Its all good. 390628
Heather A - 09/25/2017These wheels and tires have been great, only lost 5 lbs of air in the last year. Much better then the tires I had put on my old wheels by a local big box tire store. A belt broke in one of those tires after about a year and I noticed damage to the other. The price was about the same to replace both wheel and tire as it was to purchase tires and have them put on the old wheels locally. 424547
Bolt on and forget. They hold air very well. They ride very well. They do not flat spot when sitting. The powder coating on the wheels has help up very well. No regrets other than I caught my trailer on fire and learned that these also burn very well. Too bad. 434130
Mike - 09/19/2018Great tire. Matched my existing trailer. Christina from sales was great in helping me get it ordered and delivered in 2 days. 803854
Item # AM31985: Good value in a wheel/tire combo. Shipped quickly and received in good condition. Installed on our single axle camper and worked perfectly on a 600 mile first trip. Bought these instead of tire only, so we could have spares. I like the tread on these tires. Very satisfied so far. 800667
These replaced the old tires that came on the trailer when I bought it. They looked good but were over 5 years old. Also, the speed rating was only 65 miles an hour. I learned a lot about trailer tires after I had a blowout on I75 at 75miles an hour. Thank God for the anti-sway bar. I went with tires and rims just because it was easier and always replace all tires at the same time. I also learned to always check tire pressure and after storage go slow for a few miles before going at highway speeds. 798086
installed tires & wheels today. Perfect! Happy transaction! 795171
Received quickly, tires look great. Wheel has a pinstripe I was not expecting, nice touch. I have read posts on other sites of 5 year old Tires being shipped. Mine from etrailer were made just 4 months ago, outstanding! 786774
