Trailer Safety Tips

Inflation:

Always be sure to check your trailer tires are properly inflated to either the trailers recommended psi first, or the maximum alotted pressure alloted on the sidewall of the tire.

Improper trailer tire inflation can lead to a blow out, potentially causing an accident.

Load Capacity:

Trailer tires come in a variety of load capacities that vary based upon the size of the tire. All of your trailer tires must be the same size, and carry the same load rating equal or greater than the gross weight of the trailer.

Replacement:

Trailer tires should be replaced every 3-4 years regardless of tread depth or "how they look". After only 3 years of use a trailer tire loses approximately a 3rd of it's strength. When possible you should be covering up your trailer tires to protect them against long-term UV exposure and the elements.

Bias VS. Radial:

The biggest difference between bias and radial tires is the construction. The cords within a radial tire are running parallel with each other and have steel belts or additional cording to support the construction along the tread. Bias ply tires cords are in a criss-crossed pattern 30-40 degrees through-out the tire.

The most important thing to remember that the Ministry of transportation states ALL of your trailer tires must be of the same construction (All bias ply or all radials).
