This Kenda Karrier ST225/75R15 radial trailer tire is a solid match for heavy hauling. With a Load Range C and 6-ply rating, it carries up to 2,150 lbs at 50 psi per tire. The sturdy sidewalls are built specifically for trailer use, so they stay stable under load without the soft feel you’d get from passenger tires. The design meets DOT specs and holds steady on the highway mile after mile.
If you spend more time rolling than parked, this radial is made to last. The cords inside run at a 90-degree angle to travel direction, which cuts down on heat and rolling resistance for better tread life and handling at speed. Double steel belts and full nylon plies team up for strength and even wear, keeping your trailer tracking straight whether the pavement’s wet or dry.
You can feel how planted these tires are on the move. The tread pattern is computer-generated for balanced traction across the tire face, while the rubber compound grips reliably in both rain and heat. That means fewer surprises when braking or cornering under load—just a smooth, predictable ride that inspires confidence over long hauls.
Kenda backs this tire with a 5-year limited warranty plus a 1-year worry-free guarantee that replaces it if damaged within the first year. That kind of coverage adds an extra level of trust when you’re putting serious miles on your rig—because the last thing you want to think about on the road is your tires.
1. Count the lug holes
Look at the wheel hub or the back of the wheel and count how many lug holes there are(also called bolt holes).
Common configurations include: 4-lug, 5-lug, 6-lug and 8 lug
2a. For even lug counts (4-lug, 6-lug, 8-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole directly across to the center of the hole opposite it.
Common configurations: 4 on 4", 6 on 5.5", 8 on 6.5"
2b. For odd lug counts (5-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole to the outer edge of the hole directly across (not center-to-center since there's no directly opposite hole).
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"
Ratings & Reviews
I have used the load range E tire of this make and model on my 10,000 GVW equipment trailer. Another cheaper brand had various problems, including sidewall bubbles, tread separation, and rapid wear. In contrast, I have had no issues at all with the Kendra Karrier tires. I expect these load range D tires will perform equally well on my 31 ft Airstream trailer, which has a much lighter GVW and specifies only load range C. The Airstream had been sitting unused for at least 15 years. The tires had few miles use, but sat uninflated and partially squashed for at least a decade. I inflated the old tires, but by the time I finished with the 4th tire, the first one had lost half its pressure. The others leaked, too, so I could see that new tires were needed just to move the trailer to my place. I did some research on line, but again ended up choosing this tire because of my experience with the brand and model. The price is quite reasonable considering the durability. (Those cheap tires actually cost me a lot in lost time, not to mention the risk of having a flat with my expensive equipment loaded.) The tires came exactly 1/2 hour late, but on the day originally planned. I took the wheels to my local shop, where they disposed of the old tires and mounted the new ones, with new valves, for $20 per tire. Obviously, I would buy this brand again.
Well they are a lot younger then the last two that I purchased. About five months old. Hopefully they will last. Shipping is excellent.
Installed these awesome tires as an upgrade last week. Mounted and road force balanced them, adding metal valve stems to screw on my aftermarket TPMS sensors.
The tires were only 5 months old (build date 4825). I replaced the OEM ST175/80R13 tires with these ST185/80R13. They have less rolling resistance you can easily feel when accelerating from a stop or cruising. Gas mileage went up 1 MPG on my 260 mile trip this weekend in the rolling hills of Mississippi. These tires run cooler too, only gaining 6 PSI instead of 10 PSI like the OEM tires. The camper rides better too. Even my wife noticed it pulls easier and rides better. I also noticed I could turn up my brake controller to 4.25 instead of 4 without locking up the tires now.
Wow! What's not to love about these Kenda Karrier ST185/80R13 tires. Thanks E-trailer.com :o)
Best trailer tires I’ve owned. Great in all weather and I pull my trailer year round. These tires shed water like a duck and go good on the rougher terrain as well.
Tires are the exact match of what was on the travel trailer from the factory. This company excels at selling quaity products and providing unmatched customer service. Arrived quickly, packaged well, and great email communication service from order to delivery.
êtrailer is where I get my trailer tires. My old
Tires are still in very good shape but they’re over 10 years old. You can see in picture. etrailer workers are very professional and pleasant to ask questions what you needs.
These are great tires. I have pulled this trailer over 200,000 miles. Hence, I’ve gone through a few sets of tires. These tires are wearing extremely well and the trailer tracks nicely.
Nice tire, great price.
They've worked fine for me.
A great tire for your travel trailer. I ordered one for a spare.
Product was received quickly and fit great! I would use etrailer.com again.
This site was very easy to order from. The product came quickly and on the day promised. Also free shipping is always a plus! I will definitely order from etrailer again!
Have always been satisfied with all the tire products that I have purchased through etrailer and there is no issue with the actual product this time BUT I am a bit disappointed that the brand new tire arrived with a manufacturer date of Mid July 2021.....9/10 months old already.
Its a trailer tire, what's to say? Time and milage will tell, then I'll review as to durability and endurance. I received it in only 3 days which is amazing, and what arrived was just what was ordered; as always with etrailer. Great service, good products, fair prices.
I need to mount and balance these but they look like good tires. The sidewall is thinner due to the "C" load range but that should be fine and hopefully they are very durable.
I recieved my tires and wheels yesterday. I was in need of these quickly since I was leaving on a trip the same week. Dana M. at etrailer hooked me up with the right tires and wheels for my trailer and the shipping was as promised. Thank you guys for a great transaction. I would definitely buy again.
The online information on how to determine bolt pattern and measure a wheel was very useful to help me determine what size tire to order, since I was planning to use some rims I already owned. Once ordered, the 2 trailer tires arrived quickly, but a day apart (?). I had them mounted on my rims, balanced, and then swapped them out with the old wheels. No installation problems, and the trailer pulls nicely as always. Now we shall see how the tires wear over time.
Tires were the wrong size, luckily the tire shop I went to have them mounted sold me rims that fit. Tires were not used as far as I could tell, but they were 3 years old.
These tires seem to be a quality product and my tire temps seem to be lower than the aggressive off-road tread I had previously
