FAQ
How do I know if my trailer tyres need replacing?
Signs your trailer tyres need replacing include visible cracks, low tread depth, bulges, or dry rot — especially if the trailer has been sitting unused. Tyres over five to six years old should be inspected even if the tread looks fine, as rubber degrades over time. Uneven wear or flat spots from sitting in one place can also reduce towing performance and safety.
What type of tyres should I use on a trailer?
Trailer tyres should be specifically rated for trailer use, often marked as “ST” (Special Trailer). These tyres have stiffer sidewalls to handle the vertical loads trailers carry and reduce sway during towing. Avoid using regular passenger or light truck tyres unless approved for trailer use. Always match the tyre size, load rating, and pressure recommendations listed on your trailer’s compliance plate or manual.
How long do trailer tyres last?
Trailer tyres typically last 3 to 6 years, even if they aren't used often. Unlike vehicle tyres, trailer tyres are prone to dry rot and UV damage due to extended periods of sitting still or outdoor storage. Regular inspections and proper inflation can help prolong their lifespan. It’s best to replace trailer tyres based on age and condition rather than just tread depth alone.
