Radial tire and 15" black steel trailer wheel with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern.
Features:
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.

Radial tire and 15" black steel trailer wheel with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern.I purchased four (4) Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tires with 15" Black Steel Wheel - 6 on 5-1/2 - Load Range D. I wanted to replace the (split rim) wheels and tires on my vintage (1964) Airstream Overlander. I wanted something that could appear like it was "period appropriate" for the model and year, and yet provide all the safety and reliability of modern wheels/tires. I did a lot of research. Lucky for me, etrailer.com had what appeared to be the right product at the right price.
My wheels and tires arrived at my door, quickly. I was able to manually remove the old wheels/tires and install the new ones in a couple hours. I did it without help and using available tools. I'm not a mechanic, but it didn't take me long. If you can change a tire, you likely can do this! I'd have to say the whole purchase and DIY installation went extremely well. I could not be happier with the service and products etrailer.com provided. I'll attach a pic, showing the old and new wheels; and, I'll include a picture of the final product.
I've had great experiences with etrailer.com and I'm happy to pass the word. Now, all I need is the right wheel covers, maybe baby moons? Thanks George!
EASY AND BEST SERVICE
Fast delivery and the same as I have on my rv
Review from a similar Karrier Steel in Trailer Tires and Wheels
Original tires were cracked pretty good, didn’t feel safe. Decided on the black wheels and radial. Original tires were bias belted. Website was GREAT explaining how to order correct bolt pattern and describing the difference between radial and bias belted. Picked radial because most of my use is longer trips (a few 550 mile round trips in my near future. . Decided to get wheels with the tires to refresh the look and now I can throw in a spare - just in case.
Delivery via UPS was quick and as promised. The product looked flawless. I have purchased here before and have never been disappointed.

If you're on the fence, just buy them! I got these to replace the bias 4.80-12 tires that came with the trailer. These are light years better. They have a modern automotive style tread, plus they are M speed (81MPH) rated! The gloss black wheels look cool too. They have a much wider and flatter contact pattern with the ground, and while slightly larger diameter, they fit the stock 12" wheel fender perfectly. I've got a lot more peace of mind towing my utility trailer at highway speeds now.

Needed a spare for our utility trailer before leaving next month on a 1500 mile trip. Wanted to closely match the four OEM tire/wheel. Thru etrailer we were able to match tire size and load range, as well as a very close match to the silver mod wheels. Tire/wheel arrived a day before expected. This tire/wheel was not available for immediate shipment when we placed the order, but expected in three weeks. etrailer reached out to us the day after we placed the order letting us know the same combination was available for immediate shipment (on a black wheel) if we were in a time crunch. Great service.

This is my second pair of Kendra Karrier tires for separate trailers. They were replacements for lower range rated tires. One set was with white rims and the other with aluminum alloy rims. Both are 4 bolts rims and they fit perfect. These tires are excellent. They really make the trailers look strong and able to go the distance and speed!

I bought this as a spare tire for my trailer and it exceeded expectations. The tire is exactly what I was looking for and the rim matches my trailer rims perfectly! The shipping was fast and the box it came in was perfect. The tire rolls great and I think it will be perfect if I ever need to use it as spare.

I oreder 5 wheels/tires as I wanted to have a matching spare. These tires are perfect for my trailer. Load range C will handle all my trailering needs, plus they are nitrogen filled to maintain proper tire pressure.

We bought a Popup camper trailer and I have never towed anything before. I had to do an alarming amount of learning about different tires and brands, and let me tell you how hard it is not to find a china bomb on a 12' rim for something your family will be riding in or towing.
My experience with buying from etrailer was superb. I was notified when Items would be in stock. The original tires I had selected were on backorder for 8 months, so these were my second choice. They were supposed to be on back order for a couple weeks, but came in stock and arrived at my house almost a full week before promised.
I have mounted the tires but haven't road tested them yet. I am very excited, to try them out. I had some old LR C tires that were not M rated, I wanted to get a little extra wiggle room on my trailer, but have no plans on pushing the envelope on them. I am already much happier with the footprint of these over the previous trailer tires, and I am very sure they will ride smooth.
Theses were ordered in December of 2021 and the manufacture code was from august of 2021, so they are still fresh from the factory. I included a side by side of my old tire and the new one. I also ordered parts to do an “axle flip” because dexter doesn’t make a kit for the 1 ¾ inch axle. etrailer already had the parts on their FAQ page listed that you could order from them and it was half the price of a dexter kit. I just have to buy a case of Dr. Pepper for my nephew to weld the new spring seat on the axle for me.
Thanks to Conner for his very quick responses to my questions, and his expertise.

I ordered these to place on my boat trailer. I used them on my 2012 Trailstar trailer which carries my Tracker bass boat. It had load range C tires. I wanted to upgrade my tires and this item was exactly what I wanted. These fit perfectly. The tires were “fresh”....meaning that they were made only a months ago. The finish on the rims was much better than I was expecting. The welds on the back side of the rims looks to me to be quality work.

Tires/wheels came quickly and together in one box. The new black wheels dressed up my older camper!
Review from a similar Karrier Steel in Trailer Tires and Wheels
The tire and wheel assemblies look good. I haven’t pulled the trailer yet so this isn’t an in-use review. I couldn’t give them 5 stars because one of the assemblies needed 4 1/2 ounces of wheel weights to balance. To those of you that would argue they don’t require balancing I say this...if it rotates, if it spins it needs to be balanced! Great prices, excellent shipping services. You can’t go wrong.

Excellent replacement for 4 lug 12" bias ply tires on small trailers and pop-ups. Two sets for a pop-up and 4x8 over the last couple years. Never going back to bias ply tires.

Purchased as a spare for my utility trailer. Arrived a few days after ordering. For me this is all I needed. Hopefully I will never have to use it but if I do then from visual it’s what I ordered.

I'm happy with the Radial Tire and Galvanized Wheel package etrailer helped me with. Between the pictures and video of the product on the website, multiple questions submitted and answers received (even though I interfaced with multiple agents on the phone and email, they're all up to speed on customer information), packaging, product quality, price, ease of purchase, and follow up after receiving the delivery(which was prompt), It's been an excellent experience! I will use etrailer again for future purchases and recommend as first choice!

Bought these to replace the small 5.30-12 tires that were on a small pop up camper I bought. Flipped the axle and added these for extra height. They arrived very quickly. I was shocked at how fast i received these wheels….roughly 48 hours after Purchase. The price and quality is unbeatable. Super happy with how everything turned out. Thanks etrailer!

I have them on a trailer that I use for multiple activities. Not too much weight on it. I use it about every other week from spring through fall. My only issue is that they do not have a speed rating.

The trailer tire and wheel was ordered two days ago...and shows up today just as promised. It is a spare for my boat and trailer package so hopefully it never gets used but I can say the Karrier tire looks better than the ones on the trailer now. The new tire is above the old trailer spare...what a beast of a tire the new trailer has!
Review from a similar Karrier Steel in Trailer Tires and Wheels
I received the order on time. The tires were not damaged. I took the tires to get them balanced and things balanced out well. The tires were as described. My first impression was that the tread wasn’t very deep. The old tires I removed had deeper tread. The old tires were light truck tires and the new tires were trailer tires so that may explain why there is a difference. The trailer has been on a couple trips and we haven’t had any problems yet. I put them on my fifth wheel and it is around 12k dry and loaded around 14k. From what I can tell, these are an affordable replacement if you have old tires and rims and need a replacement.

I purchased Loadstar 5.30 12 Bias Trailer Tire 5 on 4 1/2 Load Range C . I failed to notice that it was a Bias Ply which only has a Load Range C at 65 mph. I got back with etrailer for a refund and replace them with a 175 13 Radial that has a Load Range D at 81 mph . It was a hassle free Exchange. Of course they deducted shipping on my refund. Make sure that's the item you want it will save you on shipping cost on your return. Overall I'm very happy with the Tires and rims and they fit perfectly. Very good customer service. I received them in three days. I would recommend this company. 5

Great products and very good prices on quality tire. Quick shipment and boxed very nicely. Fit on trailer hub perfectly. Videos really helped me measure hub lugs and explain ply difference and load range differences. I have a better product which will haul more.
I will be buying a hitch and wiring for another car and the videos show me how easy it is to install. Companies around here want up to $400.00 to install. Thanks for the service will be back
