1-Year Worry-Free Guarantee
This tire has a 1-year worry-free guarantee. If within the first 12 months the tire is damaged in any way, it will be replaced at no charge.
Bias Tires vs. Radial Tires
Bias ply tires are designed for off-road or agricultural applications. They are built with thick, durable nylon cords that are positioned at a 30- to 45-degree angle to the direction of travel. The layers alternate in a crisscross pattern, making the sidewalls stiffer so that the entire tire is able to flex easily. As a result, the tire provides a smooth ride and improved handling when trailering on uneven surfaces.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
Measuring the distance from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.
- If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
- If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
- If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
- If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"
A good alternative to 20.5 x 8-10 tires

These tires are stamped “Loadstar” but they are by Kenda. They are the exact match for my boat trailer’s OEM Loadstar tires. Tires were delivered 2-days earlier than promised via UPS. Another win for etrailer

I bought this tire for a spare for my trailer. I have not needed to use it yet but it is nice to know I have a spare should the need arise. I found etrailer a very good place to order trailer tires. Prices are very competitive and shipping is always prompt. The web site with the videos is very informative for anything you are looking for.

My initial review stands. Not had a flat tire so I have not needed my spare. Like I working with etrailer. Great customer service and knowledgeable tech support.

This tire/wheel was exactly as I expected. Excellent quality and a perfect match to my wheels on my new trailer. I purchased the "Extra Offset Trailer Spare Tire Carrier by Dutton-Lainson" from etrailer to mount on my aluminum 2-craft PWC trailer.

The quality looked good upon receipt. I purchased the galvanized wheels for a snowmobile trailer that sees a lot of salty conditions when it travels. I got tired of the painted rims that came with the trailer which became a rusty mess and were bound to start leaking. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the tire wear since the pandemic shut down all my trips for the past year.

I’ll never use any other outlet for trailer wheels and tires again. ETRAILER goes above and beyond with their product detail descriptions. Their response times on questions and support are very impressive. I have no doubt that the wheels and tires I purchased will provide years of reliable service. Very happy with how my order was packaged for shipment. Other retailers take notes, etrailer has it going on!!

In January 2022 we shopped at least a dozen online and local tire dealers. No one would even take our order for 205/65-10E tires on galv rims. etrailer took order but with a discouraging estimated delivery date August 31, 2022. We received the tires/rims Feb 3, 2022. Delighted. One little thing, a valve core leaked. Had to replace it, 50 cents. etrailer never dissapoints.

They follow through 100%.. wish more companies were like them.. Will definitely purchase from them again.

Tires and rims were in good shape when I received them. I took them to get ballenced and they said because of the 2 piece rim they couldn't ballance them because the thought the weight it called for was too much for such a little rim and tire; called for more weight than the 16" tires on my truck. I was a little dissapointed on this. I like a good ballanced tire on my trailers so they pull down the road nicely. Overall tires and rims in good shape, have not had them long enough to know if they will be good pulling down the road or not yet.

So happy with my purchase! The best part to me was the customer service. I didn’t just make a purchase and that was the end of it. I continued to receive follow ups and updates from the time I placed the order until I received it. Very commendable and I highly recommend etrailer!

- What PSI Is Needed For Load Range E Tires On Trailer Carrying Pontoon BoatYou will want to check your tire and it will have the maximum psi listed. I have attached a helpful article that lists what the tire size listings were, and what is used now. For example, if you look at the chart on the attached article it has a tire with the same dimensions you mentioned you have. The next column lists the tire size that is used now. You can see that for the load range E tire we carry, the maximum psi for the 205/65-10 is 90 psi. At the maximum air pressure, the tires...
view full answer... - Would the Kenda 205/65-10 Tire with 10" Wheel # AM3H490 be a Good Upgrade for 5.70-8 TiresTo determine if your trailer would be compatible with the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" Galvanized Wheel # AM3H490 you will need to compare the dimensions of this tire and wheel to your trailer to see if you have enough clearance. This tire is 20.5 centimeter wide with an overall height of 20.5 inches. The wheel has a bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inches. You will need to determine the bolt pattern of the hubs on your trailer currently. I attached an FAQ on how to do this.
view full answer... - How Do Determine if the Wheel and Tire Combo # AM3H490 Would Clear the Frame of a TrailerThe section width of the tire on the # AM3H490 that you referenced is actually 8.4 inches. To determine if this setup would clear your trailer you will need to take half of this width (4.2 inches) and compare that to the distance from the hub face on the axle to the closest portion of your trailer that would cause interference. If this measures more than 4.2 inches then this setup would have enough clearance from a wideness point of view. The outer diameter of the wheel is 20.4 inches.
view full answer... - How Many Revolutions will a 20.5x8x10 or 205/65-10 Trailer Tire Turn in One MileThe 20.5 x 8 x 10 trailer tire is an older tire size that is closely related to the newer tire like part # AM3H490. The 205/65-10 tire size is considered a direct replacement for the 20.5 x 8 x 10 tire. To calculate the revolutions that any tire will make in a given distance you need to do some calculations. First, calculate the number of inches in the distance that the tire will be required to roll. In this case 63,360 inches makes 1 mile. Next, calculate the circumference by multiplying...
view full answer... - Should the Original Wheels and Spare Tire Be Replaced on a 1989 Jayco King 6 Pop Up TrailerI would definitely recommend replacing your spare tire if it is the original spare tire from 1989. Trailer tires typically need to be changed every 6 years or when worn, so I would bet that your spare tire is in no shape to help support your trailer. Even though a tire might not be worn, dry rot will weaken the tire tread and sidewall overtime leading to tire failure. The wheels on the other hand only need to be replaced if they have been damaged. I would recommend inspecting each wheel...
view full answer... - Is the 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire a good Replacement for the 20.5 X 8.0 X 10 Bias Ply TireYes, the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10 inch Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range E, item # AM3H490, is a a good alternative to 20.5 x 8-10 tire. The load range is the same, both are bias ply tires and they are the same overall size. The 205/65-10 tire is the modern equivalent of the 20.5x8x10 tire. You need to be sure that your trailer wheel bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2 inches. We have an FAQ article on measuring wheel bolt pattern for you to review (see link).
view full answer... - Does the Americana Tire and Wheel # AM3H490 Come Already BalancedOn any given tire and any given wheel, there is a high and low spot. What manufacturers will try to do is offset the high and low spots on the tire and wheel so that they are somewhat balanced. However, you will still need to have the tires balanced at a local tire shop for the best performance. This includes the tire/wheel combos we sell. The Americana tires and wheels that we sell, like # AM3H490, are a good quality tire and meet Department of Transportation specifications. The tire...

Trailer tires are not specifically rated for mileage since they can be used in such varying ways, not all of them good.

The closest metric size to your existing tire would be 215/60-8. Your wheel most likely has a 5-on 4-1/4 inch bolt pattern (see link), you will want to make sure that the bolt pattern of your existing wheels matches that of the replacement wheel.

To determine if the rim will bolt up to hub on your trailer will be based on the bolt pattern of your hub. These rims have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern so you will need to make sure you have the same. I attached a help article on how to determine this.
view full answer... - Would the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" Galvanized Wheel Fit a Pontoon Boat TrailerMost likely yes, but you will need to measure the distance between the wheel studs on your trailer. If that distance is 2-5/8 inches you have the 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern that the # AM3H490 is designed to fit. The tire size you have of 20.5x8-10 is the same size as the 205/65-10 that this wheel comes with also.
view full answer... - Is a Bias Ply Tire Suitable for Use on a Tandem Axle TrailerThe Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10 Inch Galvanized Wheel # AM3H490 will work well on a tandem axle trailer. The bias ply construction of the tire does not have a correlation to the number of axles on the trailer. A bias or radial trailer tire can be used on a tandem axle trailer. As long as the existing tires on your trailer are 205/65-10 size tires and the wheels are 10 inch wheels with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch wheel bolt pattern, the Kenda # AM3H490 tire and wheel combo will work...

There are some trailer tires that have higher speed ratings, but none of them are in the 10 inch rim size since that is a smaller size.
view full answer... - Recommended Tire for a 20-Foot Pontoon Boat Trailer Traveling Down the HighwaySorry to hear your tire heated up and came apart. Special trailer tires are typically rated to operate at a maximum speed of 65 mph and should always be inflated to their maximum air pressure stated on the tire.

I included a link to all the radial tires we currently offer and if you provide me your tire size I would be more than happy to make a recommendation. Take...
