Hello Ed, thanks for reaching out. Kenda tires like the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # KE63KV are manufactured overseas in China. This is the case for virtually every other trailer tire. As far as I know, Goodyear is the only trailer tire still manufactured here in the USA.

Hubs will heat up when driving, but if it feels like they are getting too hot, then you will want to look at a few things on your hub. My guess is that the spindle nut is too tight and the added stress on the bearings is overheating the bearings and…
