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!
Review from a similar Karrier Steel in Trailer Tires and Wheels
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.

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

I needed a spare tire for my yacht club trailer, it was an odd size and you guys had it right in line as I browsed down the wheel sizes on your site, including shipping I got it cheaper than going to the local Marine dealer. Now I need summer to get here.
Ed f - 01/13/2021Review from a similar Karrier Steel in Trailer Tires and Wheels
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

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.

Tires & rims arrived the next day after placing the order the night before. I was actually caught off guard as I did not expect them to arrive till Monday. Installed them on the trailer later that day. No surprises and they fit perfectly. Old tires were cracked and the rims were in bad shape. New wheels look great !! Very pleased.
Kevin - 03/15/2021Review from a similar Karrier Steel in Trailer Tires and Wheels
Had a difficult time finding trailer tires with the correct load rating locally. Placed my order on Saturday night and the tires and wheels were in my doorstep the following Tuesday! Very happy with the product, love how the wheels are powder coated and not painted. Look great on the boat trailer!

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.

The tires are a great upgrade to the standard "Carry On" trailer tire. Made a few modifications to the fender well and the results were what I was looking for. We've have taken my homemade square-drop camper out a few times now and rides really well.

Was exactly as I expected when I ordered the tire and wheel for my trailer. Solid product actually arrived a day early which was a nice surprise! Appreciate the assistance, stay healthy.
Harvey - 04/20/2021Review from a similar Karrier Steel in Trailer Tires and Wheels
Using as a spare tire for my 21ft travel trailer that did not come with a spare tire. I like the look of the black mod wheel as it goes with the colors of my camper, although I will put a tire cover on it to extend its life. The tire itself is the same brand as what is on my camper now, just a different model, but it's a spare. I did have to touch up some paint though on the lip of the rim as it was scratched on arrival, but not enough that a cue tip and some paint couldn't fix. I would buy again.

Tire/wheels arrived quickly and works great! Had a local tire store to balance them before installation. They run smooth at interstate speeds. Thanks!
William - 12/07/2020Review from a similar Karrier Steel in Trailer Tires and Wheels

Review from a similar Karrier Steel in Trailer Tires and Wheels
I finally replaced the long overdue to get scrapped OEM tires on my 7'x14' V-Nose, enclosed trailer. etrailer made the process super easy. I was able to obtain the size from the old tires and also from the manufacturer's label on the trailer itself. Then the hard part, or so I thought. Measuring the lug pattern. etrailer made that super easy with its idiot-proof measuring diagram and instructions. Also easy, the etrailer website. I found a pair of the tires I was looking for, already mounted to wheels and at a fair price. Each of the wheels/tires were packaged safe, secure and arrived super fast! If you're in need of anything trailer related, you'll be doing yourself a disservice shopping elsewhere! Thanks etrailer, I will be back for sure!!!

I was looking for new tires for my 4 place snowmobile trailer as I put new leaf spring axles on it. Pricing was reasonable compared to the other manufacturers out there. Etrailer saved me $75 on 4 sets of tires. Needed the galvanized steel rims as this trailer will see winter and salted roads. Thanks etrailer for the great pricing on your products.
Cutting e - 07/23/2021Review from a similar Karrier Steel in Trailer Tires and Wheels
The white wagon wheels look good, the spare tire mount is perfect, and all was a great price! Great service, fast shipping and just what I needed to have my rig safe and ready. Time to go sailing!
Review from a similar Karrier Steel in Trailer Tires and Wheels
Upgraded my boat trailer tires from 13” to 15” and etrailer made it possible at a decent price as well! My boat pulls true, tracks well and sits higher! I didn’t realize just how much that small improvement would change the dynamics so much. I’m please with my purchase and delivery was quick, the tires showed up 3 days ahead of estimated delivery date!

Good service and fast delivery on good looking Kenda Boat Trailer tires on White Spoke rims. A very good deal all around. I am pleased with the product and dealing with the folks at etrailer.com. They have also been quite helpful in other transactions we've conducted. Will definitely be back for more.
Dennis N - 07/02/2021Review from a similar Karrier Steel in Trailer Tires and Wheels
Awesome service. Placed order for galvanized tires on Sat, heard back same day that they were on backorder and if i wanted to switch to the cheaper black ones. These radial tires are a great replacement for my 12 in bias-ply tires — needed to change them out for a longer NE to South FL tour. Definitely would buy again.

great service ,good pricing speedy delivery will be a forever customer . I have purchased 20 rims and tires in the last 5 weeks for a custom trailer.
Review from a similar Karrier Steel in Trailer Tires and Wheels
Ordered two of these. Both have a good finish but one had a small indent in the side if the rim. Not enough to keep me from buying another if needed. Thanks etrailer.
