What's the Difference?
You might be wondering, “I’ve got a spare set of car tyres; can’t I just get them fitted onto my trailer?” For greater trailer control and towing safety, it’s important to always choose tyres specifically made for trailers. This is because when a trailer is towed with regular tyres, it causes stress and tyre wear they were never designed to handle. On the other hand, trailer tyres feature superior load-bearing capacities and thicker sidewalls that help prevent trailers from swaying when travelling at higher speeds.
FAQ
How often should trailer tyres be replaced?
Even if trailer tyres appear unused, they generally need replacing every 3–6 years due to age-related degradation. Unlike car tyres, trailer tyres often spend long periods stationary, which can cause flat-spotting and rubber deterioration. Factors such as UV exposure, storage conditions, road quality and towing frequency also impact tyre lifespan. Regularly inspect trailer tyres for cracks, bulges, uneven wear or dry rot — common signs of ageing rubber. If the tread is worn unevenly or the tyre shows signs of structural weakness, replacement should be done immediately to prevent blowouts while towing.
What tyre pressure should trailer tyres be inflated to?
Trailer tyres should always be inflated to the pressure recommended by the tyre manufacturer, which is typically listed on the tyre’s sidewall. Unlike passenger vehicles — where tyre pressure may vary depending on comfort and load — trailer tyres perform best at or near their maximum rated pressure. Proper inflation ensures optimal load-carrying capacity, prevents sidewall flexing and reduces heat buildup, which is a major cause of tyre failure during towing. Underinflation can lead to swaying, increased rolling resistance and premature tyre wear, while overinflation may reduce traction and stability.
What causes trailer tyres to wear out quickly?
Several factors can accelerate trailer tyre wear. Overloading the trailer places excessive pressure on the tyres, causing rapid tread wear and potential structural damage. Incorrect tyre pressure — either too low or too high —is another common cause of premature wear. Misaligned axles, worn suspension components or poor weight distribution in the trailer can also lead to uneven tread patterns. Additionally, long-term storage without moving the trailer can result in flat spots, while exposure to sunlight and harsh weather conditions can dry out the rubber. Regular maintenance, proper loading and correct inflation help extend tyre life significantly.
