Tires for Tandem Axle 7k Trailer
Updated 10/27/2025 | Published 03/02/2025
Question:
I was looking at buying 4 of the Kenda Karrier KR53 ST205/75R15 for my tandem axle 7K trailer. Would this be a good choice for a 7K trailer? Also do they come balanced or is this a non issue for this type of trailer?

Hi Frank; do you have ST205/75R15 tires on the trailer right now? If so, then the # KE25EV will work. I'm assuming your capacity is 7k and you don't have two 7k axles so the tires can handle the weight. The complete capacity of the tires will be 7,280 lbs. If you have a different tire size I can't say for sure since clearance may be an issue switching tire sizes.
