Specs:
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.
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.

Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Kenda Karrier ST235/85R16 radial trailer tire in a Load Range E. Now, this is an ST tire, which means it's a special trailer tire. Has a sturdy sidewall, so that it can handle heavy loads. And it is created specifically for trailers, it's not intended for use on other vehicles. It is a Kenda Karrier special trailer radial tire, uses steel belts and polyester plies, which combine for superior function and long life.
The tread on it uses a silica-infused tread. And then if you look at the tread blocks, you'll see these cuts or openings. Those are sipes that'll help reduce hydroplaning. This tire's also excellent handling in off-pavement situations. It is an ST tire, it does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications.
Now, the wheel size this tire will fit on is a 16 inch by six inch wide, 16 by 6 1/2 inch wide, and a 16 by seven inch wide wheel. The tire size, which will be stamped on the sidewall, ST for special trailer, 235/85R16. R means that it is a radial tire. Section width on it is 9.3 inches. Overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's inflated is 31.6 inches.
And this tire is a Load Range E, which means it's a 10-ply rated tire. Has a maximum load capacity of 3,640 pounds at 95 psi. And the last thing I do wanna mention is they do come with a speed rating now. And they stamp it on the sidewall, but it is a letter designation. And where you'll find it is right after the tire size.
There's two numbers for the load index, and then a letter M. Speed rating M will mean this is an 81 mile per hour speed rating. But that's gonna do it for our review on this Kenda Karrier ST235/85R16 radial trailer tire in a Load Range E.

This should be your one stop location for trailer parts.
I pull my boat on interstate to most my fishing locations on average I was changing the bias tire I was using every 2500 to 3000 miles. Sine installing the kenda radial I have pulled boat to Pennsylvania and back over a thousand miles and tires still look new. More than pleased
Etrailer had everything we needed to repack our trailer bearings and replace our tire. Delivery of 4 trailer tires and replacement bearing washers was free and they arrived sooner than expected.
Perfect match to what I had originally. Got it mounted this morning and back on the trailer. Ready for the next adventure.
Thanks again etrailer.com. And a shout out to Justin for being helpful on all my orders. etrailer.com is my go-to for all of my trailer needs.
I actually bought 3 of theses and wheels for an overlanding trailer I built from a CE Smith boat trailer and other parts I bought from etrailer. I am happy with these tires and wheels as well as the trailer and other parts.
Not much to say. Bought for a spare and haven’t used it. Just what I thought it would be. Bought to match the original tires
Love etrailer and the Karrier tires they sell. I put a lot of miles on my fishing boat and I only trust the best to get me to my next fishing adventure. Extremely easy and fast delivery!
I love doing business with e trailer . Customer service is exceptional. Eric is a top notch 5 star customer service representative!
Fast, speedy delivery of a set of tires. Customer service staff is outstanding with answers to questions within minutes. Thank you all.
These are the best trailer tires i've found. They have the E load range rating, the highest I've found. I use them on a two wheel dolly pulled behind my motorhome. They take a really beating on the road. The first set that I used had about 11,000 miles on them and may have had more life left but I'm planning a long trip this fall and don't want to take a chance on a blowout as they wear down.
I recommend them for trailer tires.
This trailer tire has seen 3500 highway miles at high speeds with an approximately 1800 pound load (trailer and Goldwing motorcycle). The tire is quiet and tracks well. The tread wear is very slight and even. There are no chunks missing from the tread pattern like I've seen with other trailer tires that take the kind of abuse I put them through. Absolutely no signs of weather checking on the sidewalls. Periodic tire re-inflation frequency is perfectly acceptable. All tires need occasional refilling. This tire scarcely looses 5 - 8 PSI over a period of a year.
Im.a bit disappointed. Ive bought from.e trailer many times over the years. I just recieved my trailer tires only to find a date code of ( 1021 ) meaning they are 3 1/2 years old ! An article on your site says they should be replaced every 3-6 years.. So i guess i need to start looking to replace them even thpugh I havent mounted them yet! Certainly makes me think twice about buying them again from here.
Great wheel and tire, I was due for an upgrade on my enclosed trailer, delivery was super fast. I upgraded to these load D rated tires over my old load C. Great service from etrailer
I needed a tire that could carry more than 2000 pounds (per tire). There are very few trailer tires that do that. This ST 205/75R14 had specification that is geared towards strength - side walls and load.
Being able to ship to my tire mounting shop was a benefit also.
Fantastic service. Tired were to replace my trailer's original Loadstar tires.
Great communication, fast delivery. Mounted and balanced good. Haven't had on the road yet. Hope they are better than last tires on trailer.
eTrailer had what we needed, and delivery was prompt. I just checked tire pressure after a winter of storage, and it's right at where I left it last fall. Good tires, good service.
Very fast shipping. The tires are excellent quality and big upgrade from the load range B bias ply I had previously.
I have only traveled 2300 miles on the tires. With that, driving over the Appalachian mountains,they handle great. Quite tire, seem well built.
Great service from James. He helped me locate the tires I needed and couldn’t find in Canada.
The tires held their air pressure all winter while in storage. And continue to hold really well after two camping trips so far this year.
I needed a quality set of tires for my 1959 Lil Loafer camper trailer, the only tires I could find at any tire shop local to me were bias ply and nothing over a load range D. So needless to say those would wear out real fast and not track very will. These Kenda radials will fill the need perfectly. A load range E 10 ply rating will give me the confidence I need when hitting the road. I had them mounted at a local tire shop and took it out for a test run and they sure help the little trailer track nice. Great tire for a little vintage trailer.
Delivery was fast as well, less than a week. The price is fair with the exception of the Canadian exchange on the US dollar. And the website works smooth for orders, I'll be back for other stuff for sure.
These new wheels and tires look fantastic! I am beyond pleased with the upgrade!
