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…
...Hey Michael, thanks for reaching out!
The wheel is the same. The difference between the Kenda # AM32424 and the Kenda # KE94WV parts is the tire. The former is a standard Karrier tire while...
Hello Steve, thanks for reaching out. All of the trailer tires we sell come balanced in the manner that trailer tires are balanced. Every tire and every wheel has a high (heavy) and low (light) spot. The manufacturers offset the high spot on the tire…
The 5 means that the wheel is 5 inches wide from bead to bead (not overall width). The J indicates the design of the wheel bead seat but it is nothing you need to be concerned with as this is the most common shape for all trailer tires. To measure…
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…
...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...

Trailer tires and wheels are essential for ensuring a smooth and safe towing experience. When selecting, consider the weight rating, fit, and material quality. Proper maintenance and timely replacements can extend their lifespan, ensuring your trailer is
Regular cleaning and inspection can help maintain the appearance of your wheels. Address any paint peeling early and consider applying a protective coating. Proper maintenance not only keeps them looking good but also extends their service life.
To ensure a perfect fit, check the size and weight rating of your current tires and wheels. Measure the bolt pattern and offset, and compare these with the specifications of the new set. Watching instructional videos can also provide peace of mind before purchasing.
Purchasing tires and wheels as a set ensures compatibility and simplifies installation. It can also be more cost-effective and convenient, as you receive a ready-to-install package, reducing the hassle of matching separate components.
Material quality is crucial for durability. Look for wheels with a robust metal construction and a reliable finish. Some users have noted issues with paint peeling or galvanizing puddling, so choosing high-quality materials can prevent these problems and ensure longevity.
The weight rating indicates how much load the wheel can safely support. It's essential to match or exceed the weight rating of your trailer to avoid overloading, which can lead to wheel failure. Some prefer the rating stamped on the wheel for durability over stickers.
