Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the correct trailer tire size and load rating?

Match the tire size (e.g., ST205/75R15) printed on your trailer’s current tire or wheel placard and select a tire with an equal or higher load range/ply rating to meet your trailer’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) divided by the number of tires. Check wheel diameter, section width, aspect ratio, and tire load index; if unsure, consult your trailer manufacturer or a tire professional

What’s the difference between ST (Special Trailer) tires and passenger/car tires?

ST tires are built specifically for trailers with stiffer sidewalls, reinforced belts, and load-focused construction to resist heat and sidewall flex under heavy loads; passenger tires are designed for vehicle steering and ride comfort and are not recommended for trailer use

How long do trailer tires typically last and when should they be replaced?

Trailer tires age from exposure and load; even with low mileage, manufacturers recommend inspecting tires older than 5–7 years and replacing them at about 6–10 years depending on storage, climate, and condition; replace sooner if you see cracks, bulges, tread separation, or significant tread wear

What are common tire maintenance steps to extend trailer tire life?

Maintain proper cold inflation pressure to the tire’s rated load pressure, rotate or swap tires between axles periodically for even wear, keep tires covered or stored in shade when not in use, and regularly inspect for damage, punctures, and dry rot

Should I choose radial or bias-ply trailer tires?

Radial trailer tires offer better heat dissipation, tread life, and ride comfort at higher speeds, while bias-ply tires typically have stiffer sidewalls and may be preferred for heavy-duty or off-road trailer work; choose based on load demands, towing speed, and road conditions

How do load range and ply rating affect towing capacity and tire pressure?

Higher load ranges (e.g., C, D, E) indicate greater load-carrying capacity and usually require higher inflation pressures to reach that capacity; always inflate tires to the pressure specified for the required load, not just the maximum on the tire sidewall, and ensure combined tire capacity meets or exceeds your trailer’s axle weight

Are there specific tires recommended for boat trailers or travel trailers?

Use ST-rated tires sized for your axle and load; for boat trailers choose tires resistant to saltwater corrosion and consider higher load-range tires for launch/retrailer loads, while travel trailers often benefit from radial ST tires for improved highway stability and heat management
