Default Kenda/Loadstar Karrier Trailer Tires

Has anyone ever used this brand of trailer tires? I have never heard of them but this is what Manning says they use on their trailers as standard equipment. I am buying a new Manning tri-axle trailer and this is what he says will be on it in a 225 75/15.

Kenda is a Chinese tire(Taiwan). Cooper had distribution rights but they are ending that agreement. I would insist on an American tire.

All the trailer tires are made in Asia now. I have Loadstar Karrier 235-16 E load range on my 08 Manning triple axle and no problems so far. Keep them inflated to the max pressure or a couple lbs under and go with the highest load rating of E or D whichever is available for that size. I would stay away from C load range on a trailer. When I replace them I will probably go with a LT E load rated truck tire from Goodyear or Firestone.

The Goodyear Marathon is now being produced in the USA again. Not all sizes are avaialble at this time.
Right now these are the sizes that are avaialble that are MADE IN THE USA.

ST225/75R15 LRD
ST205/75R15 LRC
ST205/75R14 LRC

I am not sure when the balance of the sizes will be available.

Well I stand corrected, I just replaced the remaining Goodyear Marathons on my trailer and these were made in the U.S. Steve
