SAMPLE TIRE REGISTRATION
INFLATING YOUR TIRES
Safe operation of your trailer requires that your tires are properly inflated. Remember that a tire can lose up
to half of its air pressure without appearing flat. Before each trip, check your tires with a tire gauge, including the
spare (if equipped). Inflate all tires to the inflation pressure recommended on the Certification Label located on the
port side of the forward half of the trailer. Failure to follow the tire pressure recommendations can cause uneven
treadwear patterns and adversely affect the way your trailer handles.

U nder-inflation is the mos t common caus e of tire failures and may res ult in

vehicle control and increas ed ris k of injury. Under-inflation increas es
s idewall flexing and rolling resis tance, res ulting in heat buildup and
internal damage to the tire. It als o may res ult in unneces s ary tire stres s ,
irregular wear, los s of vehicle control and accidents . A tire can los e up to

Tires degrade over time, even when they are not being us ed. It is
recommended the tires generally be replaced after 6 years of normal s ervice.
Heat caus ed by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions can
accelerate the aging proces s . Yo u s h ould replace the s pare tire when you
