Kenda® Karrier (KR35) ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire (Load Range E) - 16" Steel Spoke Wheel (8 on 6.5 Bolt Pattern)

Searching for exceptional strength and reliability in a heavy duty 16" trailer tire? Look no further than the Load Range E KR35 tire, engineered to deliver confidence on challenging road surfaces. Its innovative tread composition, enhanced with silica, ensures optimal performance when you need it most.

• Radial Construction Advantages: The Kenda Karrier KR35 stands out as a top-tier radial trailer tire infused with silica. It's radial construction offers numerous benefits, particularly for the KR35, including enhanced ride comfort and improved fuel efficiency. The tire's flexible sidewalls absorb road irregularities, reducing vibrations transmitted to your vehicle. Additionally, this construction helps minimize fuel consumption, offsetting the potential decrease in efficiency caused by the tire's pliable rubber compound.
• Silica-Enhanced Formula: A key feature of the KR35 is its silica-infused tread. This addition maintains rubber flexibility, ensuring consistent road grip even in cold conditions. The tire's performance is further improved by an increased number of tread blocks, providing more edges to engage with the road surface. This design enhances traction, handling, and stability, reducing trailer sway.
• Tread Pattern Innovations: The tire's five-rib layout and specialized tread arc promote uniform wear and maximize road contact. These features ensure straight tracking on highways and optimal cornering capabilities. Most importantly, they extend the tire's lifespan, reducing the frequency of replacements.

Benefits of Silica in Tires

Although the use of Silica in tires has been around since the 1990's, very few understand the reasoning behind the addition and what makes Silica unique. In general, the addition of Silica into tires accomplishes two things that were thought to be antithetical to each other in the tire world- increasing grip/traction while at the same time increasing fuel efficiency. Here is a breakdown of the benefits of having Silica infused tires:

1. Improved traction in wet and wintery conditions: The addition of Silica into the rubber compound of a tire allows the tire to maintain greater flexibility at lower temperatures. By allowing the tire to maintain it's flexibility it is better able to conform to the underlying road surface which translates to better grip and traction.
2. Increased fuel efficiency: One of the main losses of energy from a tire is when a tire "rebounds" from deformation. Silica makes tires slightly softer which means they are able to rebound to their original shape with a lot less energy. This translates into decreases rolling resistance which means your tires require less energy to maintain their speed. By reducing rolling resistance, you significantly increase your fuel efficiency.
   
3. Decreased tire wear: The addition of silica into a tire increases the tire's abrasion resistance. This makes the tire more resilient to the abrasive power of road surfaces, extending the tread life.
