The Karrier tire and the Loadstar tire are separate lines of tires that are made by the Kenda tire company. If the same tire size is made in both brands they will interchange with each other as long as the load carrying capacities are the same on both tires.

In the Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range F, part # AM10501, that you have referenced, it is only available in the Karrier line of tires.

Kenda has been producing many types of tires since 1962. In the their specialty line of tires they produce many types of trailer tires and industrial tires.

Answer 1

Trailer tires have a lifespan of 5-6 years or 10,000-12,000 miles - whichever comes first. If you were going on a shorter trip I would say you can stretch them out a little more, but since you're almost doubling up their mileage and they are that…

Karrier and Loadstar are two different brand names used by Kenda. There's no difference in quality or function between the two brand names. For a ST175/80-13 Radial trailer tire in load range D, I'd recommend part #AM10210 if you're…

The difference between the #AM31202 and your current tires is going to be negligible. A Kenda 5.30-12 like the #AM30861 has an outer diameter of 21.9" and section width of 5.5". The Kenda ST145R12 Radial Trailer Tire actually has a smaller…

The F78/15 stated in modern tire size terms would be a 205/75-15. When you need replacement tires, I'd recommend going with a radial tire because radials do a better job of shedding heat. Excessive heat build-up is the number one cause of…

Answer 7

The trailer tire size of F78-15 is actually the modern size number of 205/75-15 and the H78-15 is the 225/75-15. When you measure the rim you actually have to subtract an inch due to the lip that does not count as diameter which is why your 15 inch…

On a trailer tire labeled ST205/75D15 C, the ST stands for Special Trailer which means it is designed for use on boat and utility trailers. The 205 is the section width of the tire in millimeters. The 75 is the aspect ratio (or section height). It…

It is not recommended that you use a bias ply tire on a trailer that has radial tires. Due to the different constructions of either tire the ride will be different on each wheel and would most likely cause sway that could be hazardous to you and…

Hey Tom, as long as your current wheels are held on with lug nuts and not wheel bolts that screw into the hub having a larger pilot diameter wheel like the part #AM20364 would be just fine. Lug nuts are designed to center the wheel so having a larger…
