This radial tire is made for real highway use. The Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire from Kenda carries a Load Range D (8-ply rating) and handles up to 2,200 lbs at 75 psi. With a speed rating of M (81 mph), it’s built to stay cool and stable mile after mile. The tough construction and high load rating give you the margin you want for long hauls or heavy loads without worrying about heat buildup or premature wear.
The tire’s full nylon plies and double steel belts work together for excellent stability and traction in wet or dry conditions. Its computer-generated tread design and premium rubber compound help it track straight and ride smooth at highway speeds. Radial construction positions the cords at a 90-degree angle to reduce rolling resistance and heat, so tread life lasts longer and handling stays predictable.
This special trailer (ST) radial tire has sturdy sidewalls made specifically to handle vertical load, not cornering like a car tire. That extra stiffness keeps your trailer steady under weight, even when loaded near its limit. It fits 14" x 5", 14" x 5-1/2", 14" x 6", and 14" x 6-1/2" wheels with an overall diameter of 26.3" and section width of 8.1". Every detail is optimized for dependable highway towing performance that meets Department of Transportation specifications.
Kenda backs this tire with a 5-year limited warranty plus a unique 1-year worry-free guarantee—if the tire is damaged in any way during the first year, it’s replaced at no charge. That kind of coverage means you can tow with confidence knowing your Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire is protected from day one.

Ratings & Reviews
I blew a trailer tire after leaving Las Vegas & just before arriving at my destination near Los Angeles.
I researched tires and sellers online before selecting a tire from etrailer.com. I ordered it online with no issues, but as I needed the tire ASAP I called immediately after placing the order.
The woman who answered the phone found my order, then checked stock to confirm they had the tire. As I had told her about my blow-out she said she'd make sure it shipped the next day.
I received confirmation that it shipped the next day and got it a few days later. The tire looked great and had a very recent date code on it.
I definitely will use etrailer.com again in the future after my great experience with them.
Ordered my tires on a Friday, and they were delivered the next Wednesday, and this is to Alberta. Haven't had a chance to put them on yet, but will in the next week or so. I couldn't buy a 205/75R14 Load Range D tire in Canada, so thanks etrailer!

Im very happy with the tires. 1500 miles on them with no issues. Great to have the piece of mind that they have a load rating with a good safety margin compared to the tires that came with our RV.
E-Trailer communication and service have been excellent. Was having trouble with tires on heavy tandem axle boat trailer. Installed Kendra ST205/75R-14 load range D. So far have pulled about 1000 miles with zero problems. Installing another set on second trailer this month.

Have not had a tire failure on either trailer since installing kendra st20575r-14 load range d tires. Have about 6000 miles on them now. tread wear looks very good also.
Good Tire from a great company. This is the only Load Range D tire I could find in a 14" rim size but this tire has been an excellent purchase. I could not be happier with my purchase and my tire dealer was happy to mount them because they knew that they did not sell a load range D tire in a 14".

Great tire. After another year of use the tires still look like new. The load range D tires carry the weight better and gives me great peace of mind.
This brake line kit (20TA-BLKIT) was easy to install and after 1 year on my tandem axle boat trailer, used in salt water, still looks brand new. No rust, corrosion or leaks and functions as it should. Much better than the steel lines I replaced. I would recommend this brake line kit.

Still working fine. No complaints.
Great tire and great price - spare for my trailer RV!
After identifying the tire I needed and price, I found the same tire elsewhere for a bit less. etrailer matched the price - no haggling or waffling. They have a great price match policy that really works.
Once I ordered the tire, it arrived serveral days later. I hope to get the tire mounted this weekend.

12 months and counting - still pleased with tires
These will be my 3rd set of tires on our trailer and the first ones with load range D. I like the idea of a little extra security with the higher speed rating. They will be installed this week and I can further evaluate them after some miles. The 5 star so far is for the great folks at E-trailer who make ordering simple and got my carefully boxed tires here right on time and with great email communications. They promised fresh tires and these were produced less than 6 months ago. Perfect!

Flawless in roughly 7 thousand miles. Nice secure feeling in the mountains of our new home state of Colorado.
I have always had problems locating ST205/75R14 Load Range D tires locally for my camper. etrailer.com had them and made it easy. I have loaded the camper down and made several long trips. Every stop I monitor the tires for heat buildup. They run cool and I have not had any problems.

I have had the Kenda Karrier ST20575R14 tires on my camper for 1 year now. No problems with the tires and they seem to be wearing good. I load the camper down heavy and make 300 mile trips frequently. I will buy the next set of tires from etrailer.com if I ever need them.
Tires arrived in good condition in three days, individually boxed. Had them mounted today on my Lance travel trailer and they look great, much better than the Tow-Max tires they are replacing. Only minor surprise was that the DOT date code on the tires indicates the tires were manufactured around mid 2017. Nevertheless, they look great and I am confident my BAD experiences (three) with "Blow-Max" brand tires are over.
Concerning etrailer, this is one of many purchases I've made over the past 10 years and I have always been impressed with the EXCELLENT customer service, product information and instructive videos, communications, pricing, and product selection. IMHO etrailer is one of the best retailers on the web and I highly recommend them to all.

Tires continue to perform well, NO FLATS OR BLOW.OUTS. Tites hold pressure extremely well, rarely do I need to add air between trips. I use TireMinders to monitor the tire while on the road, I am very satisfied with them as well.
I purchased two of these tires specifically because they have the "D" load rating at 65 PSI. I have a single axle boat trailer and the boat with fuel weighs approximately 3500 lbs. Each tire is carrying a 1750 lb load. I recently towed the boat to Florida for vacation driving over a 1000 miles round trip in the blazing heat at 70 mph. No issues with the tires.
The tires replaced Kumho 857s one of which blew out after only a few hundred miles on it.
Time will tell. As of now five stars. Critical is tire pressure. Always check pressure before each trip.

So far so good. I must admit I have not towed the boat much over the last year. I will soon use it to support sailing camp at the local sailing club and then will use again in fall to support a Hospice regatta.
I have a 20 ft. Bass boat on a single axle trailer. I travel from Savannah Ga. to lake Okeechobee in Fl. once a month. That's a 1000 mile round trip. I bought 2 of these tires (Karrier ST205/75R14 Load range D) a year ago and they have done an excellent job. I always make sure I have 65 psi. in them and I run 65 to 70 miles per hour on I-95 south. I have at least 12,000 miles on them with no problems at all.

These tires are still holding up great.
I was searching for a Load Range D tire for my pop up trailer in a better than basic J speed rating (65 mph). The Loadstar Kenda Karrier is one of the few that fit the bill in a ST205/75R14 tire. The tire is M speed rated (81 mph) and is an 8 ply rated tire that is a lot tougher than stock trailer tires. They have a deep tread and great longevity. Etrailer is a great company to do business with. I am hooked on their great selection of quality products and amazing service. Buy from them with confidence!

We have driven over 12,000 miles on this tire since putting it on our Chalet 1935XL A-frame pop-up camper. The tires offer a very smooth ride, hold their balance well, and have shown only very slight wear over the 12,000 miles. No flats. No problems. No unusual loss of air pressure. Just a very good, dependable, and long wearing tire for our camper. Based on our real-world use, I highly recommend the Kenda Carrier tire. Its been a good value and offers peace of mind every time we hook it up!
Good tires, shipping was quick. No issu es.
1 year follow-up. I purchased 4 of these Karrier St205/75r14 load range D Radial Trailer Tires for my tamdem axle boat trailer May 2015 from etrailer. I upgraded from an existing LR C to the LR D tire to carry the extra weight in case I had to ride in on 3 tires instead of 4. Well on 5/13/16 the tires were put to the test when I had a hub issue that resulted in the removal of one wheel.
The 3 tires carried the weight (5000 lbs.) fine with out any additional problems. I put about 2000 miles on these tires this past year and they are holding up well. I keep them inflated to 65 psi.

These tires are still working great. Tread and sidewalks still look like new after a year of service in south Louisiana.
I bought two tires for my pontoon boat it had one axle under it tires are awesome and now I'm in the process of putting a second axle under the boat so I ordered two more tires for the new axle, old ones holding up great. Better pic later
Free shipping and they were placed right on my porch by the front door.
2 stars at best
Working great. The piece of mind provided by properly rated, balanced tires on my single axle trailer is phenomenal.
In one phone call I accomplished more than online could reasonably expect. I was stuck, needed a tire. I called eTrailer and spoke to Nicole. 24 hours later, this morning, I had said tire in hand and by this afternoon it is mounted and ready to roll. This kind of support is unsurpassed in today's world. Thank you to everyone at eTrailer. You are all truly the best!!
If you need anything, eTrailer is the place!!!
I have ordered multiple items over the years and have always received excellent customer service, great products, and quick shipping.
The most recent order was the Karrier "D" rated tire, which I have ordered 4 others of the same from eTrailer. This is one of the best trailer tires I have used in over 30 years of boating, and one of the few "D" rated 14" tires that meet my load requirements.
These things ride amazing, no flat spots from sitting in the off-season, traction and wear is excellent. I don't see how you could get a better tire or at this price anywhere.
Bought 2 of these tires in 2015, just bought another to replace one that had serious blowout at 60 mph after 16,000 miles. Fortunately no damage from the blowout. Very happy with the tires up until then and not sure of cause of the blowout. It was the tire on the passenger side so maybe picked up something on roadside, rumble strips or hitting a curb. I still like the higher air pressure and load capacity so that's why I got another one. I use these on a single axle light weight travel trailer. I'm including pics of damaged tire and comparison of new and used (~20,000 mi.) I think the wear rate is good for a trailer.
So I ordered these tires on the 19th and arrived on the 21st. Fast shipping. I havent installed them yet. But will soon. Overall impressions of this tire is very good so far. Came shipped in individual boxes. Will rereview after i get them installed and have a few miles on them.

So far these tires have exceeded my expectations. The wear is minimal and tracks good. No problems.2.5k miles.
Poor all tires took too much weight to balance on a quality etrailer pitched rims I used many times Without any issue. Don’t trust speed rating and do not recommend
Ordered 14 inch rims and tires for my 2007 Jayco travel trailer. Easy ordering, prompt delivery, easy to install, very satisfied with every aspect of etrailer!!!

Were your original rims 13 inch? I have 13 inch rims with ST18580D13 bias ply load range D tires on my Jayco Jayfeather Ultralite 228 trailer and am looking to switch to radials in load range D... These are about as close to the original tire size as I can find. If you did up-size from smaller rims and tires, how is it working out for you?

Ernest,Yes I had 13 18580D13s as standard equipment. Put on Hankook 195 75R14 8 ply load range D 2094 lbs at 65psi. Tires fit fine. There is hardly any difference in the width and height increased maybe 1 inch. I have taken the trailer on logging roads with pot holesbad washboard without any issues.With the 13 inch tires on i had 2 clearance on each side and about 7-8 from the top of tire to the wheel well Jayco will not give you any help and Dexter, axle manufacture, sent information but to check the clearances out required a lift which i did not have. Common sense dictated the 14 tires would work and they do. Hope this helps just check the side wall and top clearances.Hope this helpsclearances
Tire blew out after less than 10K miles. The belt seperated causing over $5K in damage to my trailer.
