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.
