Specs:
The tire on this assembly 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.
Radial ply tires are designed for trailers that are towed on the highway. The cords on a radial tire are positioned at a 90-degree angle to the direction of travel so that they lay across the width of the tire from wheel lip to wheel lip. This construction prevents the cords from rubbing against one another when the tire flexes, unlike the cords on a bias ply tire. As a result, radial tires have less rolling resistance and heat buildup, which leads to a longer tread life and improved steering at higher speeds.
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 this Kenda Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire in a Load Range E, and it's mounted on this 16 inch black aluminum trailer wheel with the 8 on 6 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Now, this is a tire and wheel assembly, it's ideal for stock trailers, utility trailers, and even campers. The wheel on this is a nice durable, corrosion resistant aluminum wheel, has an open eight spoke design to it, and as you can see, it's a nice glossy black finish with a machine face on the spokes, and then they do a clear coating over the full wheel for excellent corrosion resistance. Now, the diameter on this wheel is 16 inches, the width on just the wheel is six inches wide, the bolt pattern we mentioned is an 8 on 6 1/2 inch bolt pattern, and if you wanna measure that on a wheel like this that's an even number of lugs, it's pretty simple, because the lug holes are directly across from each other, so all you have to do is pick any hole, measure from the center of that hole to the center of the hole right across from it. On this, it'll measure 6 1/2 inches, so 8 on 6 1/2 inch bolt pattern.
The pilot hole, which is this large hole here in the center of the wheel, goes over the hub on your trailer, diameter of that opening is 4.9 inches. And I do wanna mention, if you noticed, this does not come with the center cap, if you do want one, we do sell those separately on our website, you just wanna make sure to get one that's 4.9 inch diameter, so it'll fit right through here when you install it. Does use the wheel lug size of 1/2 inch by 20, and the weight capacity of just the wheel is 4,400 pounds. One other feature, they use steel inserts in the lug nut wells here, helps keep your wheel securely in place on your trailer hub. When you tighten down your lugs, it prevents those holes from elongating or wearing down and eliminates the need for constant re-tightening of your lug nuts.
Now, the tire itself, it is a Kenda Karrier special radial trailer tire, and when I say special trailer design, that's the one that'll couple the strength of a bias tire with the durability and stability of a radial tire, uses double steel belts, full nylon plies, combined for nice superior function and long life, and they have a nice computer generated tread design and premium rubber compound materials, gives you superior traction in wet and dry conditions. Now, we do mention that it's an ST tire, which stands for special trailer tire, has the sturdy sidewall, so it can handle heavy loads, it's created specifically for trailers, it's not intended for use on other vehicles. Just to go over the tire, the size, which will be stamped on it, right here ST again for special trailer, 235/80R16, the R means it's a radial tire. Section width, 9.2 inches, overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's inflated is 30.7. This is a Load Range E tire, which means it's a 10-ply rated tire, has a maximum load of 3,500 pounds at 90 psi.
And last thing I do wanna mention is all the new trailer tires are coming through with speed ratings on them, and where you can tell the speed rating is if you go right after the size we just went over, you'll see two numbers for the load index, and then the letter M. Speed rating is always in a letter designation and it's stamped on the sidewall, so letter M would mean 81 mile per hour speed rating. And this assembly does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications. But that's gonna do it for the review on this Kenda Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire in a Load Range E on the 16 inch black aluminum trailer wheel with the 8 on 6 1/2 inch bolt pattern.

Radial tire has a ply rating of 10 and a 3,500-lb maximum load at 90 psi. The 16" diameter x 6" wide aluminum trailer wheel features a 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern and is corrosion resistant.I love it the design looks like many of the rims used on regular cars today.
Communication was spot on letting me know of delays as well as updates.
Plan to order all my parts here

Excellent I would like to buy another set just like these. Just waiting for another sale price
These wheels look even better in person seem to be good quality delivery was fast and the sales lady Ashley was great to work with
quick and easy to order, shipment arrived on the exact date it was expected.
thanks!
great style and fit
Everything was packed and shipped in timely manner very pleased a pleased with customer service and customer support very pleased!!
Quick delivery as promised
Received one day early.
Very nice people to deal with. Great prices and fast service.
Ordered this wheel/tire to replace the small 12 inch wheel/tires for my single axle SeaDoo PWC trailer.
For those considering figment, I can confirm, these larger wheels fit perfectly. The only thing to consider is the fact you’ll need larger lug nuts so that the lug wrench has adequate purchase for tightening.
I ordered 4 trailer rims and tires. Two of them have a big ripple in the side wall of tire. The shipping came when it was supposed to, however the tire quality was poor. I emailed the post I received confirmation order from and no answer. I would not order from here again unless they take care of my problem, and they can show me there tire quality is up to par. A 1,000 rim and tire order should have had better quality control. I will repost a review and update if they fix my problem.
This is exactly what I was looking for! Very nice looking and will definitely serve it a purpose for a spare tire. Your service was spot on as well as your shipping! Am going to return to purchase a few other items! A++
Jill R my sales associate went above and beyond to help me get a closely matching wheel and tire for my fifth wheel RV. Ended up coming in a week earlier than expected thanks to the diligence of Jill R.
Irrived 2 days earlier, tires are great quality and makes my trailer looks amazing. Very happy
EXACT wheel and tire i needed, very quick shipping
I wasnt sure what to expect when buying 4 of these rim and tire combos but they definitely exceeded my expectations. They all came in an individual box which I thought was over kill considering it’s just a tire and most places would just shrink wrap it and send it on its way, but that just speaks to how etrailer feels about its customers.
The people I spoke with our wonderful, and the product is delivered fast. But there is a real issue with their supplier and that they have no control over the age of the tires. Two of my tires are a year and a half old. We are told that these tires are good for only five years, so that’s more than 20% of the life of the tire used on delivery. They offered to take back the two tires, but they would not pay for shipping. Instead of sending me an email the minute the shipment arrives asking for a review (here it is), I would think that their staff’s time would be better served in creating a better relationship with their supplier that guarantees the customer fresh tires.
Miss Hanna was fantastic. Helped me out with no issues answered all my questions got what I needed on the way!! fast delivery fit perfect plug-in play. Thank you so much. I’ll be ordering from you guys again soon.
These wheels look great!!! All dimensions as described, great fit bolted right up.
Great quality, have thousands of miles on these now without a problem.
