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.
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.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Kenda Loadstar ST235/75R15 Radial Off-Road Trailer Tire in a load range D. And it's mounted on this 15-inch gloss black machine aluminum trailer wheel with the five on four and a half inch bolt pattern. Now, this tire wheel assembly is ideal for trailers off-roading on mud or other uneven terrain, but it can also be used on highways and other paved roads. The wheel that it's on is an aluminum wheel, it's very durable, lightweight, and rustproof. And it's the AM03 series wheel, which if you look here, is an open five-spoke design with a gloss black finish.
But if you look at the edge of the spokes, you can see they have a machine finish to 'em. They do use a clear coat finish on the front, and even on the back of the wheel to protect it from scuffs and scratches. And one of the nice features I like on this wheel is, if you look in the lug nut wells where you put your lug nuts in to tighten 'em down, they do use steel inserts in there, and that's designed to help keep the wheel securely in place on the hub. It prevents the holes from wearing down, eliminates the need for constant re-tightening of your lug nuts. A few dimensions on the wheel, the diameter is 15 inches, the width on just the wheel is five inches wide.
This wheel does have a bolt pattern of five on four and a half inches. And the pilot hole diameter, which is the large hole here in the center of the wheel, diameter of that opening is 3.19 inches. Now if you notice, it does not come with a center cap. If you do want a center cap, we do sell those separate on out website, you just need to purchase one that'll fit the diameter of this opening, which is 3.19 inches. This does use a wheel lug size of a half inch by 20, and the weight capacity on just the wheel is 2,200 pounds.
The tire is the Kenda Loadstar special trailer-type Radial Tire, The radial tire is constructed, has double steel belts, full nylon plies for a nice long life. And if you look at the tread design of this, you'll notice it has the deep rugged tread blocks, and this is what gives it excellent grip in off-road conditions. We mentioned it's an ST tire, which stands for Special Trailer Tire. This has sturdy sidewalls so they could handle heavy loads, and it is created specifically for trailers, it's not intended for use on other vehicles. The tire size, which will be stamped on the tire, and it's right down here, ST, for special trailer, 235/75R15, the R means it's a radial tire.
Section width on this tire is 9.3 inches. Overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's inflated is 29 inches. And this tire is a load range D, which means it's an eight-ply rated tire, so it has a maximum load capacity of 2,860 pounds at 65 PSI. And I do wanna mention, it does come with a speed rating stamped on it, and they stamp it on the sidewall with a letter designation, and it's usually right after the tire size, you'll see two numbers for the load index, and on this one it says speed rating queue, speed rating queue will mean it's a 99-mile-per-hour speed rating. And this tire wheel assembly does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications. Well, that's gonna do it for the review on this Kenda Loadstar ST235/75R15 Radial Off-Road Trailer Tire, in a load range D, on this 15-inch, gloss black machined aluminum trailer wheel.

Nice new wheels that update the look of our Shoreland'r boat trailer. Used the existing lug nuts which now fit flush to the end of the wheel studs.
I like how the rims look with my Jeep rims. . This tire is a replacement for one of 3 I already have. One developed a high spot on it after 2 years. If I had not run the tires at 45lbs vs 50, I would have sought a factory replacement. 45lbs caused wear on both sides of the tires, but there was still plenty of thread left. The other worn tire will become my spare and the unused spare will move to the ground with this new one.
Customer service was great order 5 tires on a Monday night and they were shipped next day and arrived on Wednesday. They were a perfect fit on my boat trailer and it made 1986 boat and trailer look show room new. You can't beat the price either compared to to just buying 4 new tires at local tire stores would have spent $500 easy and I need some new rims anyway so a couple more hundred and I had new tires and rims plus a new spare to match. Also i would recommend getting the lug nuts that other people purchase that is in the suggested because it if you have open end lug nuts its hard to get them on it just makes install quicker and less hassle as well as making it have sharper look to the wheels but Would highly recommend this to anyone.
Great wheels and tires. Much nicer looking than the standard steel wheels, and with aluminum you don't have to worry about rust. The tires did very well at highway speeds. I would definitely recommend these to anyone considering them.
I had an excellent buying experience with etrailer.com and will be buying from them again.
Here is a picture of my trailer, it is a work in progress but the wheels/tires look great.
One of the tires I received is a year and four months old! Manufacture date code of 4921 = Dec 6, 2021. The other two are six months old. Manufacture date code of 4122 = Oct 2, 2022. If the average age to replace tires is 6 years, one tire is already at 3/4 life expectancy remaining. I can accept a six month old tire, but not one that is almost a year and a half old upon receipt.
Wheel looks great. I originally bought as a spare but decided to buy a second to keep these on my TSC trailer full time. Fast shipping and areasonable price!
Awesome customer service,very fast shipping, price was unbeatable. Very happy with my purchase. Hopefully the tires hold up better than my original trailer tires.
I googled trailer tires and wheels and came up with etrailer.Com so I figured I would give it a shot. I decided to use the 800 number and spoke with Sammy G. She was super nice and courteous and helpful beyond my expectations. The aluminum wheels / tire combo she recommended were about 30 dollars per wheel higher than the standard white painted wheel / tire combination that everyplace sells. The best part is they send a pin so you can see the product. So I thought about it for a day or two and called back. This time I spoke with Troy H. who placed the order. Then they send and order confirmation and tracking. I have to say that the customer service / phone interaction was far better than I thought it would be. They are GREAT to work with and super nice on the phone. 110 percent is an understatement. I’m enclosing pictures of my 40 year old wheels and tires along with the new aluminum wheel and tire combo. My 74 Alumacraft is going to roll in style next summer. New customer for life ! Thanks for the excellent customer experience. Jeff in Wisconsin.
Very happy with my purchase here. There was a delay do to shipping from the manufacturer, but I was promptly kept up to date every step of the way. It's refreshing to do business with a company that was willing to engage me personally with regards to my order. As far as my trailer, well the before and after photos of replacing 10 year old tires and wheels should show the rest. I don't need trailer tires often, but when I do I will come here again.
I installed these in July 2022 and they're so much better than the rusting steel wheels that were original to the 1999 camper.
I’m really happy with the final look of the wheels on my trailer.
The wheels were out of stock when I ordered so it took maybe an extra week(excellent job on the hustle).
The things that kept from getting 5 stars are both of the rims are kinda ruffed up at the hub not too bad but seems it could be avoided. Next I would like it if they were balanced, I know trailer tires aren’t normally balanced but it would be nice. The last option I would like to see is a Made in USA option I know it would cost more but some of us would be happy to pay the difference.
Overall I’m happy with the look and the service from etrailer.
Wheels and tires look awesome on my boat trailer! Also great service and fast shipping. Definitely my go to site for now on.
All I can say is these are one of the best choices for a boat trailer. Great looking easy to clean and wont rust plus etrailer had the best prices and really fast and free shipping
Just look at the pics and you will see why to buy and dont forget to get the longer lug nuts to
I bought these wheels to go on a motorcycle trailer and they look amazing. New paint and new wheels made my trailer look new even though it’s 30 years old. Thanks to etrailer.com for having the wheels I was looking for.
Replaced wheels and tires on my motorcycle tent trailer. I viewed my choice on line but call customer service to answer some of my questions about my choice and accessories. The customer service department is excellent as always. Thank you I am very pleased with my purchase. Great price and quality.
Fantastic tire and wheel combo, they are super smooth down the road and they look sweet!
What more can you ask for
High quality, fast shipping and a great deal!
I purchased a set (2) of wheels and tires and also spare tire holder. I have no complaints with either purchase. Wheels and tires arrived with no blemishes or scratches. 100% happy with purchase. On hindsight if you upgrade from steel wheel to this type of wheel you will need to upgrade lug nuts.
These wheels and tires look great on my boat trailer, price is good and they arrived quickly. I did need to buy new lug nuts that are a bit longer and thinner but not a big deal and those great too. Definitely recommend!
These rims and tires fit my 20’ boat trailer perfect and look amazing. I ordered on a Monday at 11:30pm and they were delivered to Pittsburgh PA Wednesday morning with free shipping. I would buy these all day everyday.
Great wheel/tire combo to replace worn tires and rusty wheels. Very happy
Wheels, tires and fenders look great on our camp trailer. Excellent communication, tracking and everything arrived in great condition. Highly recommend!
