Kenda® Karrier (KR35) ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire (Load Range C) - 14" Steel MOD Wheel (5 on 4.5 Bolt Pattern)

When the roads you travel are covered in water and ice, you need a tire that is up to the task. Thankfully, with the Kenda KR35, you can put your mind at ease and your trailer in motion, no matter the conditions.

• Radial Benefits- The Kenda KR35 trailer tire is a specialty tire designed for maximum grip and control. It all starts with the tire's construction. Ditching cheap, bias-ply construction, this tire is manufactured in true steel-belted radial fashion. This gives your tires a larger footprint and contact patch (i.e., contact with the road), resulting in much better control. Not only that, but steel-belted radial tires have a much longer service life. That means you get to spend more time with your trailer on the road and less time switching out your tires.

• Silica Infused- One of the main features of the KR35 trailer tire is its silica-infused tread. By using silica in the tread compound, the KR35 gives you unmatched performance when temperatures drop. This is because silica allows your tires to maintain their flexibility in extreme cold. This lets the tire maintain its footprint and still conform to the uneven road surface, giving you much-needed security in tough driving situations. So when other drivers are white-knuckling the steering wheel because their trailer is swaying, you'll still be cruising with ease.

• Siping and Pitch Count- However, the features of the KR35 don't stop there. This tire also has a high pitch count and ideal sipe angles to maximize water and snow dispersion. Not only does this help prevent hydroplaning, but when driving through snow, your tire grooves won't get packed in. The only problem you might face is angry drivers behind you as your tires spit out all that snow and water!

• Rib Design/Tread Arc- Lastly, although more pliable tires are typically less fuel-efficient and prone to faster wear and tear, Kenda has taken that problem head-on. They've engineered this tire with a five-rib design and special arc tread. The five-rib design helps distribute wear and tear evenly across the face of the tire. This increases the tire's performance and extends its working life. Pair that with the special tread arc design, which helps the tire maintain its shape, and you've got a smooth and comfortable ride mile after mile.

Kenda 14" Steel MOD Wheel 

What makes these wheels so special? Glad you asked. First, they start with top-of-the-line American grade steel. From there, they  are manufactured with a state-of-the-art process that involves automated shaping, robotic assisted welding and stamping operations. After that they go through a multi-stage finishing process which has the wheels taking a bath in electrically charged paint and finishing with a multi-step powder coating. The end result is a wheel that you can put on your trailer with confidence knowing it's built to handle the rigors of towing.

Perfect For:

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

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.
