Great question, William!

The Karrier ST225/75R15 # KE63KV is a KR35 while the Karrier ST225/75R15 # AM10303 is a KR03 according to Kenda.

There is a slight variation in the tread pattern and from what Kenda says about them it looks like the KR03 is better for wet and dry conditions while the KR35 is a little better for just wet conditions.

The tread pattern isn't enough to make a huge difference in performance so either one will work just fine for the average trailer.

Hey Tyler, I'm glad everyone was ok with the blowout and nothing serious happened, and to answer your question yes, you can go to 185/80-13 tires as they're just a bit larger than 175/80-13 tires. As for the right one, despite popular…
