Hi Charlie!

The Kenda Karrier # KE43KV (10253) and # AM10256 are pretty similar to each other. They both have an M Speed Rating (81mph), have a 2,540 pound capacity at 65 psi, have a Load Range D with 8 ply sidewalls, are ST225/75R15 Radial tires, and have a 5-Year limited warranty with a 1-Year worry-free guarantee. There are a couple differences though, and I have those listed below:

# KE43KV
-Rim Fits: 15" x 5", 15" x 5-1/2", 15" x 6", and 15" x 6-1/2"
-Section width: 8.6"
-Outer diameter (when inflated): 28.5"

# AM10256
-Rim Fits: 15" x 6", 15" x 6-1/2", and 15" x 7"
-Section width: 8.9"
-Outer diameter (when inflated): 28.4"

Other than that, the tread patterns are also different. Kind of hard to explain that, so I attached a picture to this answer showing the differences.

What are you wanting to install these on?

Hey Charlie, what did you end up deciding between the two Karrier tires? Your experience could point others toward the best fit for their trailer setup.
