When To Replace Trailer Tires

There is no one-size-fits-all recommendation for when tires should be replaced. That’s because usage, climate, and storage all play a role. If any cracks or interior tire components are visible, Carlisle highly recommends the tires be inspected by a professional. Carlisle also recommends maintaining a tread depth of 4/32” or greater. As a general guide, tires should be replaced after five years of service, regardless of tire appearance and all tires should be replaced at once for even wear.

Decoding a Tire Sidewall

A lot of information can be found by looking at the information imprinted on the sidewall of your trailer tire. This includes important details such as tire size and construction, wheel compatibility, load range, load capacity, PSI rating and when the tire was made. All of these details are important when selecting a replacement tire for your trailer.

What Makes Specialty Trailer (ST) Tires Different

If you are hauling anything, it’s important to use the right tire for the job, for the safety of yourself and your cargo. Specialty trailer tires (ST) are designed for greater hauling capacity, better puncture resistance, reduced heat build-up and minimized trailer sway. These are all important factors in avoiding dangerous blowouts that are more likely when using passenger (P) or light truck (LT) tires on a trailer.

The Difference Between Bias and Radial Tires

Bias tires are constructed using crisscrossing nylon plies, creating a very rigid, durable sidewall that resists punctures. Bias tires are typically used for construction, agriculture, cargo, light marine and sport trailers. Radial tires have perpendicular polyester plies and crisscrossing steel belts. This creates a smoother ride and longer wear for applications like travel trailers, livestock and toy hauling.
