Tires
Before mounting tires onto wheels make certain that the rim size and contour is approved for
the tire as shown in the Tire and Rim Association Yearbook or the tire manufacturers catalog. Also
make sure the tire will carry the rated load. If the load is not equal on all tires due to trailer weight
distribution, use the tire rated for the heaviest wheel position.
All tires must be matched to within 3/4" of the same rolling circumference per the tire
manufacturers instructions. Do not use tires that fail to meet this criterion. Doing so
may result in unstable operation and significantly reduced service life.
Use tire mounting procedures as outlined by the Rubber Manufacturers Association or the tire
manufacturer.
Inflation Pressure
Correct tire inflation pressure is the most important factor in tire life. Inflation pressure should
be as recommended by the manufacturer for the load. Pressure should be checked cold before
operation. Do not bleed air from tires when they are hot. Check inflation pressure weekly during use
to insure the maximum tire life and tread wear. Use the tire wear diagnostic chart to help you pinpoint
the causes and solutions of tire wear problems.
NOTE: Tire wear should be checked frequently because once a wear pattern becomes firmly
established in a tire it is difficult to stop, even if the underlying cause is corrected.
Tire Safety Information can be found at the following website and should be
reviewed prior to operating the trailer.
