Tire Care
limiting factors and load limits
Always maintain proper tire pressure and stay
within tire load limits. Tire pressure should
be measured when tires are cold. The total
load capacity per tire must not exceed the tire
manufacturer’s specified load rating. Each tire
has its size, load rating, and maximum pressure
molded in the sidewall face. The Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN) plate on the front wall
of your trailer also provides the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR), tire size, load rating, and inflation
pressure.
WaRNING:
follow the guidelines below to avoid potentially
hazardous situations that may result in death or
serious injury.
• Inspect the tires for nails and other objects
embedded in the rubber.
• Inspect the treads for stones and other objects
lodged between duals.
• Inspect the tires for abrasions, cuts, dry rot, or
other damage.
• Inspect the condition of the treads to ensure
proper, even wear and DOT tread-depth
compliance.
• Check that the dual tires on any axle end are of
the same diameter.
• Inspect the tire valve stems for damage and
missing valve caps.
• Never operate equipment with tires that have low
or no pressure.
• When replacing tires and rims, make sure they
are replaced with the same size, type, and load
rating.
