1-Year Worry-Free Guarantee
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.
Bias Tires vs. Radial Tires
Bias ply tires are designed for off-road or agricultural applications. They are built with thick, durable nylon cords that are positioned at a 30- to 45-degree angle to the direction of travel. The layers alternate in a crisscross pattern, making the sidewalls stiffer so that the entire tire is able to flex easily. As a result, the tire provides a smooth ride and improved handling when trailering on uneven surfaces.
Beveled Stud Holes
The stud holes on this steel wheel are beveled to ensure that the wheel stays tight against your trailer hub. This also eliminates the need to constantly retorque the lug nuts.
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 products are good and at a good price. But the shipping was slow to get the product that i ordered. That's why there isn't 5 stars.

I'm updating a 16' utility trailer I purchased in 1991. I placed an ordered for five AM3S862 tires and wheels. They arrived in two days and were just perfect to finish the project. I've had the trailer on two short runs for material and it handles great. I will be ordering from etrailer.com again.

I put these tires on a 1960 utility trailer. It was a former U hall trailer before they went to all metal trailers. It is 5'X 8' with 30" high sides. It's great to move heavy furniture, mulch, and dirt. I needed new tires and rims. I found this website to be informative, easy to order, excellent prices and very fast delivery. I love the look of the new set on the trailer and the ride and tracking is much better. I highly recommend this web site

Shipping was super fast, the tires got here a day earlier than expected. Tires seem sturdier than what was on there. They look good except they where missing valve caps, not a big deal but still they should have had them. I cannot give them 5 stars as of yet since I haven’t actually towed the trailer yet.

Arrived quickly and met all expectations. Took advantage of the free shipping, which wasn't cheap for a tire and wheel combo this size and weight. Best deal going in regards to getting a spare tire and wheel for my trailer. Will purchase my next one here too.

#1 This site is dynamite! I needed 6 tires for my Boat Trailer, and I must tell you the information given to my son & I was outstanding. We were able to go to the Boat Dealer handling our "very used trailer" and He was able to give us the useful measurements we needed to get the most accurate tire size. The Customer Service is OUT of THIS WORLD!!!!! I wish every Company I encounter would be 1/2 as great as these people! We got the Tires immediately UPS! I was amazed! I have already told so many guys about your site and for anyone needing any items associated with TRAILERS, YOU ARE THE FOLKS!!!! Your site was a fabulous find! Thank YOU !!!!!! Sincerely, Ken

I would go and get your tires spin balanced. All 5 of mine were out of balance as expected and 60 dollars cured all of that. It will provide for a better ride for your RV and certainly help to eliminate any vibration.

I received my order in good condition, but that is all I can say about it, since the temp here is 0 deg and I have to work on the trailer outside. So nothing will be done with the parts until warm weather is here.

I had no clue how to replace a tire rim set. I tried it on my own and I got the spoke pattern wrong. etrailer helped me out with returning the wrong tire and rim. They also walked me through ordering the correct part. I put the new part on and it fit perfectly. Thank you for taking the stress out of this.

I am very happy with these tires and wheels, they were just as advertised. Two of the tires were manufactured the 27 week of 2011 and the other one was the 47 week of 2010 (I'm using this one as a spare). etrailer is a very good company.

I just had the tires and rims balanced and installed them on our boat trailer. It took a lot of weights to get them balanced, but I think that's normal for this type of tire / rim combo.

The etrailer website was easy to use. The tires mounted on rims were delivered in days and were ontime, were well packaged, and were what I expected. I would order from etrailer again and recommend them.

The Tire and Rim were received via UPS on schedule. They look great. FYI, it will be used as a spare for my small utility trailer. Unfortunately the trailer is not here so I am unable to verify it fits OK (it should). I will do this in a couple of weeks. Thank you E-Trailer, I had quotes from local tire dealers for nearly double the price you advertised. This was ridiculous, they obviously didn't want to be bothered or do business with me.

I ordered one tire and wheel, just to make sure of the quality. It was delivered in just a few days. I placed it on my trailer and it worked so well, I placed another order of two more. Again the shipping was extremely fast. I order it on a Tuesday and 2 days later, it had arrived. I'm very happy with the service,shipping, and quality of the tires and wheels.

WOW! After shopping locally for tires, I was very pleased to receive the tires so fast. The tires and rims are showroom quality. The fit was exact and the finish on both are outstanding. The tires I looked at in local stores did not compare to the finish and overall readiness of these tires. Also they were $30 to $40 dollars cheaper. I will definitely pass this quality buy on to my fishing buddies.

Ask the Experts about this Kenda Trailer Tires and Wheels
- Can a Trailer Wheel with Larger Diameter Pilot Hole be Used on the Same HubThe pilot hole diameter only matters in one of two scenarios: First, if the wheel secures to the hub using bolts instead of lug nuts then the pilot hole has to be exact because that is how it centers on the hub. Second, if the wheel secures to the hub using lug nuts but the wheel pilot hole is too small, it just will not fit on the hub. Having a larger pilot diameter on a wheel that secures with lug nuts is fine.
view full answer... - Changing Kenda Load Range C Trailer Tire To Load Range DBefore switching to a higher load rated tire, like a load range D or E, you will want to check the weight capacity on your trailer wheels. If you have a steel wheel, the capacity should be stamped on the backside lip of the wheel. If you have an alloy wheel, this rating should be stamped on the back side of the wheel spokes. From the information I was able to obtain, a load range D tire will have a capacity of 2,150 lbs at 65 PSI. Another option would be just to upgrade to a wheel and...

- Can an ST225/75-15 Trailer Tire be Mounted on a 5 Inch Wide Rim on a 5th Wheel TrailerAny given tire will fit a range of rim widths. The ST225/75-15 tire will fit 6, 6-1/2, and 7 inch rims, but not a 5 inch rim. The tire will not be able to seat properly on the rim and you will not be able to keep air in it or safely use it. As far as who you should believe, our resident tire expert has 30 years in the tire business so I trust his expertise on anything to do with tires/wheels. For an ST225/75-15 tire on a wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern we have # AM3S862. This tire...

It sounds as if your trailer axle or axles are going to be rated for 5,000 pounds or more. If you have a tandem axle trailer, it is likely that you have two 3,500 lb axles.

All we need is two key pieces of information. The bolt pattern and the diameter of the rim. To determine the bolt pattern of the rim check out the FAQ article I attached to the right.

- Can 2018 Sportsman Classic 181BHS be Upgraded to Carry More WeightSince you already spoke to the manufacturer and they said that the weight rating of your 2018 Sportsman Classic 181BHS can't be increased then I wouldn't be able to override what they said. However, since your vehicle has a towing weight rating of 6,000 lbs and your trailer GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) is 3,500 lbs we could potentially load some things on your vehicle. For example, you can use a truck-bed-mounted bike rack like the Swagman Pick-Up # S64702 to carry your bikes instead...

Which the closest size we offer that is compatible is the ST215/75R14 like Karrier ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10229. This tire has a diameter of 26.8 inches which would be about an inch shorter in diameter than what you have. Is that too short? What problems will you experience if your tires aren't as tall as your current ones? Ground clearance? If so, you might be interested in a Dexter axle...

This displays all wheel/tire items that match your requirements and these are offered in Load Range ratings C and D. We have both bias ply and radial type tires in your size.

view full answer... - Is it Recommended to Balance Trailer Wheels/TiresThe trailer tire and wheel combination # AM3S862 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. I am glad that balancing the rims/tires of your trailer helped...
view full answer... - Can I Change Trailer Tire Sizes Without Changing WheelsI'll start this off by saying that you'll want to make sure that you have sufficient clearance from your trailer frame to determine if you can upgrade in tire size from 205/75r15 to 225/75r15; there is roughly 1.2" difference between the two tires but when you take into consideration the 3" to 4" required to allow for suspension clearance it may become an issue. Additionally, you're correct in assuming that upgrading to a 225/75r15 tire would required upgrading to a wider wheel-which it...

You would have to go up in size in order to get a load range D tire. Your existing tires have a width of 7.7 to 8.1 inches and a diameter of 27.4 inches. They fit on 15 by 5-1/2 inch wheels. The next closest size with a load range D tire is 225/75-15. These tires range in width from 8.4 inches to 8.9 inches and could have a diameter between 28.1 and 28.4 inches. They fit on 15 inch by 6 inch rims so new rims would be required....

You will also want the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 3,500-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 5-1/2" Long U-Bolts, # APUBR-1.

You could go with higher rated leaf springs and larger, higher rated wheels/tires, but you'd still be limited by the axle capacity. Therefore, to increase the capacity of your travel trailer, you'll need to replace the axle, springs, hubs, wheels and tires. You'll probably need to relocate the spring hangers. We offer a few off-the shelf replacement axles in standard sizes. If you'd care to reply with the capacity...

- Safe Distance Between Tire and Floor of Trailer when Upgrading to 15 Inch TiresThe rule of thumb when building a trailer is that you should allow 1.5 inches deflection at rated capacity of the spring for approximate full load dimension ( the spring can flatten out as much as 1-1/2 inches ). Then add 3 inches above tires beyond that point for maximum clearance.
view full answer... - What is the Closest Trailer Tire in Size to a P235/75-15 Car TireAs you probably know, car tires should not be used on a trailer. This is because trailer tires are made with a thicker sidewall to handle more vertical load. Car tires are not built this way so it can lead to blow outs. The closest match to a P235/75-15 car tire would be an ST225/75-15 such as # AM3S862 which has the 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. This is a load range D tire rated for 2,540 pounds at 65 psi. The difference in size between these two tire sizes is minimal. The ST225/75-15 will...
view full answer... - Availability of 15 Inch Trailer Wheel w/ 2.25 Inch Diameter Pilot HoleThe only time it's important that the wheel's pilot diameter matches with that of the wheels you're replacing is you have hub-centric wheels currently. A hub centric wheel uses the portion of the hub that extends through the pilot hole of the wheel to center and support the wheel on the hub. A wheel of this type would use flat headed wheel bolts. A lug centric wheel uses the lug bolts to center the wheel. If the lug bolts are coned, like part # RG02-020 then you have a lug centric wheel. So,...

The larger 225/75-15 would be about 1/2 inch wider and around 28 inches in diameter, which would only use 3/4 to 1 inch of the available 3-1/2 inches of clearance you mentioned.. From the clearances you mentioned, it sounds like the # AM3S862 would work well for you.

view full answer... - 690/600-9 Trailer Tire RecommendationWe have just the tire size that you have, part # AM10040. But we do not carry a rim that will fit this tire. This tire has an overall diameter of 21.1 inches so for a wheel and tire combo that we offer that would have the same diameter you would want the Kenda KR25 ST145R12 Radial Trailer Tire with 12" Aluminum Wheel # AM31208 as it have the same overall diameter and it has the same 4 bolt pattern of your current setup.
view full answer... - Can Trailer Wheel with Larger Center Pilot Hole be Used on Hub that Uses Wheel Bolts, Not Lug NutsActually, no, this is not going to work for you. The problem is that on wheels and hubs that use wheel bolts instead of lug nuts to secure the wheel to the hub, the pilot hole has to be exact because that is how it centers on the hub. Even if it looks like it is all lined up properly it could still be off a little bit because of the larger pilot hole. This will cause some wobbling and lead to tracking problems and premature tire and suspension wear. If you can tell me what the pilot...
