Kenda Loadstar K371 Pneumatic Tire Load Range C – 4.80 X 8

The Kenda Loadstar K371 is a pneumatic, bias-ply tire built in the 4.80-8 size at Load Range C, rated to carry 745 pounds at a maximum inflation of 90 PSI. Overall diameter runs approximately 15.9 inches with a 4.7 inch section width, dimensions that place this tire on utility trailers and light service equipment rather than on a forklift's drive or load wheels; 4.80-8 is not a standard forklift cushion tire size, so confirming the application and rim before ordering matters more here than on most replacement tires. As a pneumatic design, the K371 runs on air pressure rather than solid rubber, giving it a softer ride over uneven yard or lot surfaces than a cushion tire, at the tradeoff of needing pressure checks and carrying puncture risk that solid tires do not.

Load Range C indicates the tire's ply rating and pressure tolerance, the figure that determines how much weight it can carry safely at its rated PSI, and running it underinflated cuts directly into that load capacity while accelerating sidewall wear. Bias-ply construction, where the internal plies cross at an angle rather than running radially, is the standard build for trailer and utility tires in this size range and holds up well under the start-stop loading typical of service trailers. Buyers sourcing this tire are typically matching an existing utility trailer or service cart wheel rather than a forklift, so confirming rim diameter and bolt pattern against the wheel already on the equipment is the practical next step after confirming the tire size itself.
