Replacement Tires for 2021 Aliner Ranger 12 With ST185/80R13 Tires

Updated 08/07/2025 | Published 06/30/2025

Question:

I have a 2021 Aliner Ranger 12 with Carlise/Carlstar ST185/80 R13 tires. Load range D and speed rating of M. This is a low mileage unit. Ive had it fir 3 years and prob less than 1000 mi. Was told that the tires should be replaced at 5 years old. How do I find 2 tires manufactured no earlier than 2024?

Hey Jerry! Trailer tires typically last 3-5 years so what you were told is correct. Tires sell pretty fast, especially on the more common sizes. We don't have a way to provide date codes for every tire but something like our Kenda Karrier ST185/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10208 is likely under a year old.

Even if they were a little older, our tires are stored in a climate controlled warehouse. This means they aren't exposed to extreme temperatures and UV rays which is what really breaks down the tires so it isn't a concern.

Any big trips planned with your Aliner this summer?

Hey Jerry, how did the search for new tires go? Did the Kenda Karrier tires work out for your Aliner? I'm curious because it could help others in a similar situation.
