Kenda® Karrier (KR35) ST185/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire (Load Range D) - 13" Steel MOD Wheel (4 on 4.0 Bolt Pattern)

If you're concerned about grip and traction, entrust your trailer to the unbeatable performance of the KR35 tire. With a special, silica infused tread compound, the KR35 was built to give you peace of mind on the roads you need it most.

• Radial Design Features- The Kenda Karrier KR35 is a premium, silica-infused radial trailer tire. The benefits of radial tires are extensive. However, for the KR35, the radial design significantly increases your driving comfort and fuel economy. This is because radial tires have flexible sidewalls that allow the tire to absorb the various bumps and vibrations of the road. As a result, less of the road surface travels from your trailer up to your vehicle. In addition, the radial construction gives your tire better fuel economy. While the KR35's pliable rubber might typically reduce fuel efficiency, having the KR35 as a radial tire helps to ensure less dollars are put into your gas tank.

• Silica Infused- One of the main features of the KR35 is that the tread compound is infused with Silica. Adding Silica to the tire keeps the rubber compound flexible. So when the temperature drops, the rubber doesn't stiffen up, and the tire still has the flexibility to grip the road surface. However, the benefits on grip and control don't stop there. This tire also features a higher pitch count. The pitch count simply refers to the number of tread blocks on the tire's surface. By increasing the tread blocks, this tire has more edges that "bite" into the road surface. This results in better traction and handling and less trailer sway.

• Tread Design Features- Lastly, the five rib design (raised surfaces of the tire) and special tread arc provide even wear and maximize road contact. This keeps your trailing tracking straight on open roads and maximizes cornering performance on turns . Most importantly however, it keeps you from having to replace your tires season after season!

Kenda Loadstar KR35 Key Benefits:

• Superior handling in cold/wet and off-pavement conditions
• Comfortable and quiet riding experience
• Excellent durability and wear resistance

Kenda 13" Steel MOD Wheel Features:

Kenda Steel MOD wheels are made from American coiled steel using cutting-edge manufacturing processes. These processes include automated roll-forming as well as robotic assisted precision assembly and welding cells. After shaping, the wheels undergo a thorough cleaning, electrostatic painting, and a final powder coating.  This multi-step process gives Kenda wheels superior corrosion resistance and an unbeatable finish. By combining the high-performing Kenda Karrier KR35 tire with the Kenda Steel MOD wheel, you get a wheel and tire combo you can rely on.

Perfect For:

• Replacement tires for fall/winter season towing
• Off-road trailers

Please note: For image quality purposes, the Galvanized wheel photo features a 5-lug pattern. This is due to a higher color quality in the image. The wheel that comes in this combination will be a 4-lug bolt pattern.

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.
