Can Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire Be Inflated to 50 PSI

Published 09/09/2023

Question:

What is the load rating of the Kenda Tire ST205/75R/14 Load Range C # AM10234 inflated to 50 psig? I ask because the VIN tag on my boat trailer indicates this size tire should be inflated to 50 psig. The size and load range of this tire is otherwise correct for my trailer.

The tag on your trailer listing 50 psi would be for the stock 205/75R14 tires. I'm sure the max psi for those tires was 50. You should always inflate your trailer tires to the max psi as indicated by the tire manufacturer.

The Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10234 max psi is 60 which gives you a max load of 1,925 lbs. Inflating them to 50 psi would give you an unknown capacity. You can still use these on your trailer, you just need to inflate them to 60 psi instead of 50.
