When you’re towing heavy gear or covering long distances, this tire holds its own. The Kenda Loadstar ST175/80D13 bias trailer tire carries up to 1,610 lbs at 65 psi and meets DOT standards for reliability on the road. With an M speed rating of 81 mph, it’s ready for the highway without sacrificing strength or stability under load.
The bias-ply build uses tough nylon cords layered at a 30- to 45-degree angle, giving the sidewalls extra stiffness so the entire tire flexes evenly. That structure helps it stay stable and smooth when you’re pulling over uneven ground or rough pavement. It’s a design that keeps your trailer tracking straight and steady instead of bouncing around.
An advanced rubber compound and flatter tread profile combine for long tread life and steady handling. You get improved stability with less rolling resistance, so it tows smoothly mile after mile. The result is a tire that wears evenly and stays dependable through repeated highway runs or regular local hauls.
For the first year, any damage—no matter how it happens—is covered by a full replacement guarantee. After that, Kenda backs the Loadstar with a 5-year limited warranty. That level of support makes it easy to choose this tire knowing you’re covered if something goes wrong early on.
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"

Sweet tire! Purchased for my Coleman Cheyenne pop-up camper.
Needed an 8 ply tire and the staff nailed it with these skins.
They have a very smooth, quite ride and look great.
I highly recommend this tire.
I am delighted that I found etrailer.com to order the tires for my 16 foot enclosed trailer. The prices were by far less than anywhere else I searched on cyberspace for and the shipping was FREE and FAST. The tires arrived pristine and I have already installed them and they are working great. Very pleased to have done business with this top notch company.
the tires came quick and they where just what my utv trailer needed
thanks

Ive had the tires for about a year they work good and they wear is even better. Have not had any problems. i love them thanks
Found etrailer while looking for some load D trailer tires. All the local dealers only had load C. Placed the order on a Monday and they arrived Thursday. Like some people have said do not be alarmed by the shape of the tire when you open the box as when you get them mounted they will be normal. Great price, great service, & free shipping . What else can a person want from a store. I will definitely be a repeat customer.
Have had good luck with Kenda Loadstar ST175/80/D13 Load range C on the rear axle of my deck boat trailer. I had 2 other brand tires on the front axle and they did keep up with the Loadstar's they failed. I bought a set of four of the Loadstar Load range D this time I mounted them up by hand with no problem's. Fast delivery and well packaged.
I am just blown away by the service and price at etrailer. I needed new tires for my boat trailer and shopped around at Wallmart, Bass Pro, Home Depot and a couple of other vendors. Your price and selection was superior to all, but the real kicker was that the tires arrived within two days of placing the order and at no shipping cost.
No question etrailer has superior service, selection and price.
Great 13” 8 ply trailer tires. Peace of mind towing my UTV from Missouri to Wyoming and back knowing the tires could handle the weight and road heat at 75 mph. Also was able to load up 2 Harleys and did a similar trip to Sturgis as well. Great tires and the price was right.
The tires look decent, but I’ve never seen tires this distorted before. The tire looks like a bowl, with the inside bead surface pushed out past where the outer bead surface would normally be. I tried throwing a 45lb plate on top of the bulging sidewall, then stood on top of it, but it will not pop back to normal. We’ll see what happens when I mount them, just think it’s gonna be tough seating the bead.

When the tires are shipped to us, theyre palletized which can compress them. Once theyre mounted on a rim, theyll pop back into place and work perfectly for you.
I’ve now had two sets of these on my boat trailer(they were replaced once on warranty) they chunked and came apart each time. Both tires have the same chunking. These are barely a year old off a small aluminum boat trailer. etrailer was awesome in all aspects, the tires are just junk from manufacturer.
I haven't used these yet. They are in the shop for mounting and balancing. The price is good, and the shipping was quick, and free. I'm sure these tires will work out great.

The tires are perfect sfter a year. I recomend these tires.
Great products and great service. I bought a pair of the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire - Load Range D - AM1ST77 and couldn't be happier with them and the service from Etrailer.com. I also bought a bike carrier from Etrailer and am just as pleased with that.
I replaced the tires on my boat trailer with load star tires. Have went on 8 trips. 150 miles to 400 miles round trip. I tent camp so I load my boat down. Not one issue. Have great tread for next year. Great product. st175/80d13 bias trailer tire. My factory tires didn't even last for a year.
Glad I found these at e-trailer. Local tire shop didn't have any Load Range" D", and wanted half again as much for their "C" tires, but they had no problem mounting these for me and installing them on my pop-up camper.
We've dragged that trailer all over the state - 4 weekends an a week long trip last year, and we're doing 5 weekends and two trips a week long this year. The tire still look new.
These tires look good and have a high load rating-they are rated for a much higher weight than many tires on the market (all of the tires locally available were 4ply with a wimpy C load range) in this size TR175-80/13. They are mounted on a model 1285 Coachman Pop-up camper & I have had poor luck with the radial tires in this size-lots of cord separations & blowout failures. I am going to try out these Bias-Ply 8 ply tires. I just made my first short trip on them (approx. 200 miles in 98 degree weather) and they pulled smooth and straight. I like how they sit up with stiffer sidewalls than the radials they replaced. Be sure to have them mounted with brass shaft high pressure valve stems as the standard all rubber stems are not rated for the 65 psi pressure these tires need for maximum load rating-and it is always a good idea to have trailer tires balanced. It remains to be seen how they hold up over time on longer trips, thus the 4 star rating.
I purchased these tires for a home-made trailer that I wasn't sure about. The tires shipped very quickly and the price was great. I just drove over 400 miles with my news tires, and the tines are still on the tires. So far, these tires are fantastic and look like they will last a long time!

After a year, the tires are still in great shape. They are a good ride for the box trailer
I ordered two tires but I received one that was the wrong size due to being mislabeled. However, etrailer was quick and courteous in resolving the problem. Fantastic to work with and will definitely order from you again.

The tires are as good as advertised. Ive been from Atlanta to Orlando and back with these tires trailering my boat. Trailer handled beautifully.
Purchased these tires in Jan for my boat trailer. They appeared to be a little deformed which I thought would make them hard to mount. I did not plan to install them right away. After talking with tech support I was reassured they would be OK. Just got around to installing them myself and they worked out just great and they were exactly what I was looking for on my boat trailer.

After a year of running these tires I could not be happier. They have taken all of the abuse I could give them and no problems. Besides all of the short trips to the lake I have made a trip across the country to Arizona with all of the heat on the highway and still no problems.
The 13" 8-ply LRD Load Star trailer tires perform very well. I get about 10K miles on a set before I replace them and I am on my third set. No flat tires yet!

The tires are performing very well. Of course, my snowmobile trailer sat all summer with four machines inside and the tires did not require any air this winter. We have put nearly 3000 miles on the tires and they show no wear so far. I find it remarkable that they have not lost any air at all. I am very pleased.
PERFECT!!! Super fast shipping,excellent product,astoundingly good price and unusually excellent customer service!Had superb selection..found just what I wanted..cannot say enough good things about my experience w/etrailer.(tires are a joy compared to the set they replaced..recommended!)

These tires have performed flawlessly!Am glad I got bias plys as I do a lot of rough travel to rivers and lakes,etc These are Very Stable and yet Very streetable re:Hwy travel.Top notch!Minimal tread wear!
needed replacement tires for my Coleman/Fleetwood tent trailer. the old ones were 14 years old, and badly worn. local tire shops carry little, or nothing for replacements, and at a $100 each. got the exact OEM name brand replacement tires from this place for a little more than half that, with free shipping. local "discount tire" mounted and balanced them for $20. these tires were date coded from January of this year, and made in Taiwan. much preferred over Chinese stuff. these are bias ply, 6 ply (8 ply rated) nylon and polyester corded tires. they appear to be very well made. the side walls of bias ply tires are much sturdier than radials, and i believe they will be durable. they were shipped fast, in a large sturdy box. could not be happier.

working great, am very happy with purchase
Ordered 2 boat trailer tires, Loadstar ST175/80D13 bias 8 ply load range D, early CST on the morning of 4/09/14. I selected 5-7 day standard ground shipping at no charge. I was notified within an hour by email that the tires had shipped and that shipping was upgraded to 3-5 days at no charge to me. The tires shipped at 9:39 a.m. CST and arrived 2 days later on 4/11/14 at 11:04 a.m. CST. What more could a man ask for! I already have them mounted on my trailer and I am looking forward to seeing how they perform. I ordered the tires from e trailer because I could not find any 8 ply load range D tires locally in the size my trailer/boat called for. The price was very good also. Thank you e trailer for an excellent experience and great service. I will definitely remain a customer.

The tires have performed flawlessly and I will continue to be a customer for any future trailering needs.
Fast shipping and the tires are in excellent condition. I definitely use etrailer again in the future.
It work good we made a 1600 mile trip to Wisconsin and back
Ordered the spare tire rack and galvanized wheel and tire. Great price on everything, found the load range D 13” tires at reasonable price. The short tires help me get the boat in the water even when tide is out.
