Loadstar Tires

About Loadstar Tires

Loadstar is one of the most recognized names in the trailer tire industry, backed by over 50 years of engineering expertise from Kenda Americana Tire & Wheel, headquartered in York, Pennsylvania. Designed specifically for the demands of towing, Loadstar tires are engineered to handle heavy loads, resist road hazards, and deliver consistent performance across North American roadways and terrain — whether you're hauling a boat to the lake, towing a utility trailer to a job site, or rolling an RV across the country.

What sets Loadstar apart is the depth of its product ecosystem. Rather than simply manufacturing tires, Kenda Americana functions as a full-service supplier: engineering the rubber compounds, designing the wheels, and offering factory-assembled Mounted Tire & Wheel Assemblies that save time and eliminate the guesswork of matching components yourself. This end-to-end approach means every piece of the puzzle is purpose-built to work together.

A Legacy Built for Trailers

Loadstar tires are trusted across multiple industries — from towable RVs and enclosed cargo trailers to boat trailers, agricultural equipment, and construction haulers. Both bias-ply and radial constructions are available, giving buyers the flexibility to choose between the load-flex characteristics of bias-ply design or the reduced rolling resistance and stability of a radial. Each tire is DOT-tested and must meet or exceed federal safety standards before leaving the facility.

The brand's trailer tire lineup spans a wide range of sizes and load ranges — from compact 8-inch options suited to small utility trailers all the way up to heavy-duty 16-inch radials rated for loads exceeding 3,900 lbs. This breadth of coverage makes Loadstar a go-to choice for both OEM trailer builders and consumers replacing worn tires on existing rigs.

Wheels and Complete Assemblies

Loadstar's trailer wheel selection includes both steel and aluminum options, with finishes engineered for long-term corrosion resistance — a critical factor for marine and outdoor applications where wheels are routinely exposed to moisture, salt, and road debris. Aluminum wheels offer a weight savings that can contribute to improved fuel economy during towing, while steel wheels provide rugged dependability for heavy-duty commercial use.

For those who want the ultimate convenience, Loadstar's pre-mounted Wheel and Tire Assemblies arrive ready to bolt on, with tire and rim already matched and balanced. The brand also offers a broad selection of Tires & Tubes for tube-type trailer applications, ensuring compatibility with older trailer axle systems that require an inner tube setup.
