Kenda Introduces Sportsman Camo Trailer Wheel and Partners with TrueTimber and The Python Huntress

Kenda is excited to partner with Amy Siewe, The Python Huntress, to launch the new Sportsman Series Wheel featuring TrueTimber Strata camouflage pattern. Amy personifies the ultimate outdoor enthusiast for whom this wheel was created while TrueTimber is well known for its wildly popular camouflage patterns. This steel wheel is proudly made in the USA and is available in a variety of sizes—13”, 14” and 15”— and is designed for marine trailers like Amy’s, as well as RVs and utility/cargo trailers.

The wheel can be purchased by itself or assembled with several popular styles and sizes of Kenda tires. Adding the thrill of the outdoors to any compatible trailer, the Kenda Sportsman Camo Wheel ensures a nature enthusiast’s trailer is equipped with the best tires and wheels on the market and allows them to showcase their passion for the great outdoors. 

Kenda tires and wheels are designed for your journey,” said Dave Craig, vice president, general manager, American Kenda Rubber Industries Ltd. “Our new Sportsman Camo wheel series was created for those whose journey includes the outdoors. Partnering with conservationist and outdoorswoman, Amy Siewe, the Python Huntress and top camouflage company TrueTimber, takes us to new places and expands our reach into new adventures.”

The Python Huntress, Amy Siewe, a fast-growing media celebrity popular with outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, animal conservationists and adventurers, brings authenticity and audience alignment as the perfect spokeswoman for the Sportsman Camo Wheel as these dynamic wheels provide the strength of regular steel trailer wheels, while empowering the hunter, nature conservationist or outdoors enthusiast to ride in style. 

The Python Huntress takes supporting wildlife into her own hands by removing invasive Burmese Pythons from the Everglades—as they are decimating native animal populations and depleting resources. Her commitment to removing these snakes from the Florida ecosystem demonstrates her commitment to all native wildlife. Siewe’s sponsorship agreement with Kenda showcases to a wider audience her overall commitment to the community and culture that comes from loving the great outdoors.

“I’m beyond excited to be the face of Kenda's Sportsman Wheel in Strata Camo,” said Amy Siewe, the Python Huntress. “Winter Burmese Python hunting in the Florida Islands is demanding and my boat, trailer and F150 are necessary to get the job done. When I am hunting snakes, now I not only use the Kenda Klever R/T KR601 light truck tires on my F-150, but I’ve outfitted my boat trailer with the spirit of the outdoors with Kenda Sportsman Camo wheels and Loadstar Tires. I always ride in style––right down to my wheels––and showcase my love for adventure.”

The TrueTimber Strata camouflage pattern is available on other products—including hunting, fishing and apparel. This means that outdoors enthusiasts can coordinate their trailer wheels with their hunting equipment, vehicles and clothing.

“We are thrilled to announce Kenda as a new licensing partner and to see the Sportsman Wheel out on the road,” said TrueTimber CEO Rusty Sellars. “So many hunters and outdoorsmen utilize trailers and RVs in their outdoor pursuits, and this gives them another chance to utilize our Strata

camo in a unique and stylish way.”

Amy Siewe’s career as the Python Huntress began because she had the courage to “take that

leap” and follow her lifelong passion for snakes, her love of adventure, and her desire to make a difference in the world. In 2019, she decided to take part in a python hunt in Florida. She was instantly hooked and made the life-changing decision to sell her successful real estate business in Indianapolis and move to Naples, Florida. Today, she is a professional python hunter, helping manage the invasive Burmese python population. While Amy has a deep love for snakes, these pythons have devastated the ecosystem, eliminating 98% of mammals in some parts of the Everglades. She has been featured in many TV programs, documentaries, magazine articles and podcasts, including The New York Times, National Geographic, Time Magazine, the Today show, Fox and Friends, Fox News and Reader’s Digest. Along with hunting pythons, Amy dedicates her time to educating the public through media interviews, taking other snake lovers on guided python hunts and encouraging everyone to follow their dreams.
