Kenda Loadstar KR17 Radials

Unlike standard trailer tire tread, which has solid, continuous ribs, the automotive-grade, computer-generated tread on these Kenda Loadstar KR17 radials has ribs with breaks. These breaks allow water to run off to the sides. The Kenda Loadstar KR17 tread also has sipes. Siping is a process in which thin grooves (or sipes) are cut into the rubber of the tire. The grooves channel water away from the tread so that the tire makes better contact with the road. Both of these features greatly improve traction during wet, snowy, or icy conditions. The tread on this tire also has a 5-rib, variable pitch tread block design. Because the blocks of tread are wider at the edges and skinnier in the center, this design will reduce the overall road noise you experience while towing.


Kenda Loadstar KR17 radials are constructed with double steel belts and full nylon plies for increased durability and endurance. The premium rubber compound materials of this tire help disperse heat.


Radial Tires vs. Bias Tires

Radial tire vs bias tire graphic

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.

  • Replacement ST215/65R17 Load Range C Tire Recommendation
    I think you need to go with the Kenda Loadstar ST215/65R17 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C # KE88XR which matches the exact specs you sent in and is one of the most reliable tire series that we carry. This has an 81 mph speed rating and is backed by a 1-Year worry free guarantee (free tire replacement for any tire damage within the first year) as well as a 5-Year warranty which basically covers the life of the tire since tires need to be replaced ever 3-6 years. All of this just speaks...

  • Can P215/65R17 Tires Be Replaced With P215/75R17 Tires
    The 65 in your tire size refers to the aspect ratio, which means that the height of the sidewall is 65% of 215mm or roughly 140mm. The R stands for radial and the 17 is the rim size. The 215 number is your section width (width of the tire tread). If you switch up any of these numbers you'll just need to ensure that you have enough clearance so the tire won't rub against the fender or body/frame of the trailer. There's about a 21mm difference when you switch from 65 to 75 so you'll just...

  • What PSI Should Kenda Loadstar ST215/65R17 be Inflated to
    Hey Rich, so the great thing about trailer tires like the Kenda Loadstar # KE88XR that you have is that the pressure you need to inflate them to is always the same. You need to inflate them to their max PSI when they are cold and you are good in all situations. The max psi rating for this tire is 50 psi. If when the tires get hot from being on the highway and the pressure increases there's no need to make any changes as that's to be expected.

  • Is the Kenda ST215/65r17 Tire Directional and What Does the 5 Year Warranty Cover?
    The Kenda Loadstar ST215/65R17 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C item # KE88XR is not directional and it can be rotated and ran both ways on your trailer. Kenda's warranty states that the 1-year warranty is for the tire only as opposed to the wheel, and the warranty is through Kenda tires. For the first twelve months from the date of sale, Kenda will replace your Kenda/Loadstar tire for any reason as part of our Worry-Free Warranty. Afterwards for a period of 5 years they state that...

  • Parts Needed to Use Jeep Wrangler Wheels and Tires With Timbren Axle-Less on nuCamp TAG XL
    It is possible you can make this work on your nuCamp TAG XL but there will be a few things you need to check and consider. It looks like your trailer uses a 2,200 lb axle. You will need additional clearance to account for the offset of the wheels as well as the larger diameter of the tires. The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - Heavy Duty - Long Spindle w/ 4" Lift # ASR1THDS03 will be your best bet to accomplish this. This will give you 8-1/2" of backspacing clearance for your wheels...

  • How Can I Determine How Old My Tires Are
    Hello Glenn, thanks for reaching out. Every tire we sell will have a date code printed on the sidewall. Usually it will be a 4 digit number inside an oval. The first digits tell you the week and the second digits tell you the year. So for example if your date code said (1023) this means the tire was made in the 10th week of 2023. If you can email me a picture of your tire I should be able to find the date code. The date code can be kind of small so make sure it is a good clear picture....
