In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

...Was wondering if the wider 5.30x12 kenda tire would be better suited for highway driving than the 4.80x12 kendas I have now. Does width not make much difference, say like tire diameter does? I know...

...Since both a ST145/R12 size tire, like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail # AM10130, and a 5.30-12 size tire, like the Kenda K353 # AM10068, fit a 12 inch wheel, a ST145/R12 size tire can replace a 5.30-12...

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

The three most common lug stud sizes for a trailer are 1/2"-20, 9/16"-18, and 5/8"-18. In order to make sure you get the correct lug nuts you need to measure the lug studs on the trailer now as we have no way to look this up for…

...What is the difference in the Kenda Karrier and a Kenda Loadstar? I need 13inch load range D radial tires, and these are about the only ones I can find. I have purchased from E-Trailer in the past...

...Great question, William! The Karrier ST225/75R15 # KE63KV is a KR35 while the Karrier ST225/75R15 # AM10303 is a KR03 according to Kenda. There is a slight variation in the tread pattern and from...

...carrying capacity. The wheel/tire you referenced, Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire/Wheel # AM30660, combines a steel wheel rated for 1250-lbs with a Load Range C tire that itself is rated for 990-lbs at 90...

Even though I cannot comment specifically on the grease you used because I am not familiar with it, I can tell you the best grease for trailer bearings is a a grease with a rating of GC-LB, which just means it is made to withstand very high…

...where are kenda tires made. Thanks...
