Specs:
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.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Kenda Karrier ST225/75R15 radial trailer tire in a load range D, and it's mounted on this 15 inch Sendel series T09 black machined aluminum trailer wheel with the 6 on 5 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Now this tire wheel assembly is ideal for boat trailers, utility trailers, and campers. The wheel is a durable corrosion-resistant Sendel series T09, which is a six bolt aluminum wheel. You can see it has a black finish on it and then a machine finish on the face and lip. The front and the back of the wheel are clear coated for excellent corrosion resistance.
A few dimensions on the wheel itself, the diameter of the wheel is 15 inches. The width on just the wheel six inches wide. The bolt pattern on it is a 6 on 5 1/2 inch bolt pattern. And if you want to measure the bolt pattern on this with a wheel that's an even number of lugs, like in this case, six, it's pretty easy because if you look at the lug holes, they're directly across from each other. So all you have to do is get a tape measure and measure from the center of, pick any hole, measure from the center of that hole directly across to the center of the hole right across from it.
On this, it'll measure 5 1/2 inches, so it's a 6 on 5 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Now if you notice, this wheel does not come with the center cap. If you do want a center cap, we do sell those separately on our website. You do wanna make sure to get a center cap that'll have the same diameter as the pilot hole here, 'cause when you install your center cap it'll go through this hole. The diameter on this pilot hole is 3.75 inches.
This does use a wheel lug size of 1/2 inch by 20, and the weight capacity on just the wheel is 3,200 pounds. Now the tire that's mounted on it, it is a Kenda Karrier special trailer radial tire. That special trailer tire design has double steel belts, full nylon plies to combine for superior function and long life. Does use a silica-infused tread. And if you look at the tread design, you can see the cuts that are on the blocks.
Those are called sipes and they reduce hydroplaning. This gives excellent handling in off-pavement situations. We mentioned it's a ST, which is a special trailer tire, has the sturdy sidewall so it can handle heavy loads and it is created specifically for trailers. It's not intended for use on other vehicles. The tire size, which will be stamped on the sidewall right here, you can see ST, for special trailer, 225/75R15, the R means that it is a radial tire. Section width on this tire, 8.6 inches. Overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's inflated is 28.5. Load range on this is a D, which means it's an eight-ply rated tire. So it does have a maximum load capacity of 2,540 pounds at 65 PSI. And this assembly does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation, specifications. And the last thing I do wanna mention, it does come with a speed rating, which is stamped on the sidewall and it's stamped with a letter designation. And where you'll find that is right after the tire size, you'll see two numbers for the load index and then the letter M. Speed rating M will mean this has an 81 mile per hour speed rating. But that's gonna do it for a look at this Kenda Karrier ST225/75R15 radial trailer tire in a load range D mounted on this 15-inch Sendel series T09 black machined aluminum trailer wheel.

Swapped out the steelies and low speed tires the trailer came with for the lighter aluminum wheels with higher speed tires. They tow great behind the sidecar and look a treat.
Very good customer service. The tires and mounting was spot on. Only small complaint would be the center cup insert does not lock in place. It will flop around a small amount. Easy solution is to put a small amount of clear silicone adhesive around the the cup and press the cup in place. Otherwise so far zero issues and the tires appear to be wearing well and have good side traction for our heavy 5th wheel in the rain. Highly recommend this combo. They look great on an older trailer.
A little disappointed with the delivery as the tires were delivered by USPS 1 day late but not the end of the world. Overall very pleased with the initial look of the wheels however very disappointed with the age of the tires from week 25 of 2022 versus it currently being June of 2024 meaning of the 5 year manufacturer warranty advertised on e-trailer I only get 3 years as the manufacturer warranty as the date goes from the DOT date stamped on the tire. Only 64 percent of the warranty is still left... I understand the tires being 6 months or even as much as a year old but nearly 2 years old is excessive.
Really happy with my tire/wheel package upgrade. Replaced the factory grey spokes and tires from 2007 when the original tires finally failed. The wheels were covered in rust from the salt up here. Only towed the trailer about 100 miles since the install but it tows soooooo smooth and looks pretty dang good.
I inadvertently stepped up an inch in tire size when I got the 15” wheels up from the factory 14” because “I know what I’m doing” but the clearance doesn’t seem to be an issue thankfully.
I thought it was just a bigger wheel. Lol
Wheels/tires set are as advertised and shipped in reasonable time. Good quality.
Just received 2 of them today and they look great especially for the price. They should be a nice upgrade to the factory rims and tires on my double jetski trailer
Had a delay on receiving the right order, pulled wrong in shipping. I called e-trailer that afternoon and found a fantastic customer service rep named Virginia answering the phone. She handled the mix up with ease, placed a correct order while I was on the phone with her, and I received the tires/wheel combo within a few days. Mix ups happen in this ol world but it's the undervalued customer service reps who make a bad situation pleasant with outstanding old fashioned customer service! Thank you, Virginia & e-trailer for your service. The product quality? Aluminum upgrade wheels with Kendra 8 ply radials scheduled for our vessel later this week will surely add piece of mind on our travels to the coast with a little style to boot. Respectfully, Clayton ...Lake Wales, Florida
E-Trailer made it all right for me. I was frustrated when I first ordered as I’ve never dealt with delays. And needing some tires , of course they sold them and didn’t have them in stock. But they were quick to restock and get them to me. One set was the wrong wheel size. Wouldn’t fit. Not sure how that happened. But they immediately got it right for me. Thanks again. I’ll continue to support this company for many years to come
Perfect fit, nice look and seem more durable than the original wheels/tires that came with trailer. I like that is a slightly better PSI capacity. Wife said, "the trailer doesn't look as cheap as before" I put about 75 miles on them for the first trip and they performed great.
Received order kenda Karrier fast prompt shipping packaged very well replaced my older wheels tires trailer looks better than when new pleased special thanks to the etrailer team.
The description and videos made it really easy to trust what you were purchasing. Shipping was free and arrived in good order. The wheels are much nicer than I even anticipated. These were purchased not only for the tires, but also an upgraded from the stock wheels on my boat trailer.
I upgraded my 15’ jon boat trailer wheels to these radial load range D, replacing the bias ply load range B. I couldn’t be more pleased, not only do they look great, but with the extra weight I put in the boat I have peace of mind knowing it’s rolling on better rubber. I also ordered a spare tire mount and now have.a spare using one of the original tires.
Great wheels and tire package for the p rice
Got these to replace the cheap pizza cutter tires that came with my Sea Doos. So much better and look great! Feel much safer towing with these tires compared to the other ones. Super fast shipping and excellent packaging. Got new lug nuts and center caps as well. Love etrailer!
Purchased for our car dolly. I decided to upgrade to aluminum wheel. Wow, what a surprise! Excellent quality of tire and the wheel is very nice. Installed them and immediately drove six hours with no issues. Tires arrived quickly and even had the proper inflation upon delivery. Free delivery was great.
I purchased this Kenda tire and wheel combo as a spare for my Aspen pop-up camper. It now gives me peace of mind as I’ve traveled many miles without one. It matches the existing wheels and tires on the trailer perfectly. etrailer had the best price for this item. I waited a little while for delivery but it was worth the wait. Thanks again etrailer for coming through with the parts I need!
I built my" tool shed" on a Triton aluminum trailer. I wanted doors on three sides. I do a lot of volunteer work at a Bible camp and it involves hauling my tools to the job. The trailer had 12x 4 inch wheels and I wanted something I more substantial to carry the load. I ordered the wheels and tires from etrailer. They came on time and we're exactly what I wanted. I have purchased other items from etrailer, and highly recommend this company
The rims and tires is 5 stars, I am disappointed with the ship time. It shouldn’t take 2 weeks to ship something, if you have these items on stock.
Ordering from etrailer was quick and easy as always. Shipping was fast and prices are the best. I replaced my six year old galvanized rims and bias tires for these aluminum rims and radial higher quality tires. They look great on the Jon boat trailer. Now I can use the old ones that still look new for spares. I went up two tire sizes from the original painted rims and tires which makes the trailer ride much better. The only reason I did not give it five stars is the tires were 18 months old off the shelf.
These wheels look great! Big improvement over stock rims. Quick receipt and everything was as advertised.
I usually don’t review on line but I’ve been doing business with e trailer for 5 years they always have what I need , very competitive, and never have I had a bad experience with them…. I’m going to give them a 10/out of 10
Thank you etrailer for an amazing delivery on time with excellent tires. I will be ordering more wheel/tire combinations for my other trailers.
My 1st Jon Boat, transformed it from a dingy Ugly Green to what you see now, custom 3 phase paint and custom built decking and carpeting, added Garmin ECHOMAP UHD, painted the trailer and needed the get rid of the worn out Bias-Ply Tires that originally came with the boat when I purchased it. Decided to purchase the 12 inch Kenda tire and 12 inch aluminum HWT Wheel from etrailer I had a very good experience with the live rep over the phone while processing my order. My tires and wheels arrived in a timely manner and none of the aluminum wheels were damaged upon delivery. Will definitely make future purchases from etrailer! The tires rode well at 75 mph on the highway for fishing trip. Thanks etrailer!
Very nice tire and wheel combo. Used to replace and upgraded on my Jayco Qwest Pop-up. Only compliant and VERY minor one, I spent more time removing stickers and labels from the wheels & tires than it took time to mount them :-) but overall highly recommended !!!
This is such a great upgrade from the small bias tire. It travels so nice on the freeway. The aluminum rim looks so much better. I definitely recommend to buy the extended Lugnuts. The standard Lugnuts do not have enough grip on them to tighten.
