How to Choose the Right Trailer Tires for Your Needs

Types of Trailer Tires

First, understand the types of trailer tires available. Radial tires are ideal for long-distance travel due to their superior heat resistance and smoother ride. Bias-ply tires, on the other hand, are more durable and better suited for rough terrains and heavy loads. Choose the type that best fits your travel patterns and road conditions.
 

Load Capacity

Ensure the tires you select can handle the load your trailer will carry. Check the tire’s load rating, usually indicated on the sidewall, and match it to your trailer’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Overloading tires can lead to blowouts and premature wear, so always adhere to the recommended load capacity.
 

Size and Compatibility

Choose the correct tire size specified by the trailer manufacturer. Incorrect sizing can affect handling and stability, posing safety risks. The tire size is usually found on the tire sidewall or the trailer’s manual. Make sure the tires fit your rims and the trailer's specifications.
 

Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance extends the life of your trailer tires. Keep them properly inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure, as under-inflation can cause excessive heat buildup and over-inflation can lead to reduced traction. Inspect tires for wear, damage, and ensure proper alignment and balancing.
 

Climate Considerations

Consider the climate where you’ll be traveling. Some tires are designed for specific weather conditions. For instance, all-season tires provide good performance year-round, while summer tires offer better handling in hot conditions.
