Trailer Tires for 2000 Starcraft 1706
Updated 08/27/2026 | Published 08/18/2026
Question:
My 2000 Starcraft 1706 camper weighs 1,250 lbs dry weight. I need 2 new tires but do not need rims. All of the tires on your site are rated for only 1220 lbs but I need something that can handle more like 1450 in size 5.7x12 in a 4-bolt lug pattern. can you suggest tires?

Expert Reply:
Hey Brian! The 1,250 lb max load on tires like the Kenda K353 # AM10068 is more than enough for your trailer. It looks like the 2000 Starcraft 1706 has a GVWR of 2,090 lbs. Since you combine the capacity of the two tires, the rating is 2,500 lbs so you're well under the capacity of the tires and won't have an issue.
Where are you headed next with the Starcraft?

I have put over 10,000 highway miles on the Kenda K353 tires on my utility trailer in the past year. They are holding up well so far, no issues.
