If a glance at your rearview mirror has you wondering when to replace trailer tires, chances are it’s time. New trailer tires are a minimal investment compared to the valuable cargo inside, and they offer cheap insurance against roadside disasters. Aged and worn trailer tires can lead to a blowout and loss of control, making trailer tire replacement an essential part of a safety-focused maintenance regimen.
Choosing properly rated tires is critical for reducing trailer sway and preventing tire overheating. Trailer tires are manufactured in a broad range of load and speed ratings, so you’ll need to do a little figuring to ensure you get the right tire for the job. First, determine the necessary load rating per tire by dividing the trailer’s loaded weight by the number of wheels on the trailer. Also, those speed ratings aren’t just recommendations; manufacturers adhere to stringent guidelines and exceeding the posted speed ratings can result in premature wear or catastrophic failure. Double-check that the tire model you choose is suited to your application, replace tires in pairs, and make sure all tire ratings match.
Trailer loads are diverse, and so is the selection of trailer tires suited to specific needs. From hauling livestock off-road to towing a lawn tractor around town, we’ve scoured real-world reviews and scored the best trailer tires that deliver value and reliability. One last note: our selections on this list, include the tire only; trailer wheels are sold separately.
