FAQs
The trailer tyre price is determined by its size, application, construction, and tread pattern. Farming and mining trailer tyres are typically more expensive, ranging from $400 to $1200. On the other hand, trailer tyres intended for road use are generally more affordable, with prices ranging between $130 and $500. Ultimately, the trailer tyre cost will vary based on its intended use and other factors.
Trailer tyre size can be expressed in two ways. The first method, often used for narrower tyres, involves two numbers separated by a ‘-’ symbol. For example, a tyre size of 9.00-16 means that the tyre is 9 inches wide and fits on a 16-inch wheel. The second method uses the metric system and has three numbers. For instance, the size of a trailer tyre might be 560/60 R 22.5. In this case, 560mm indicates the tyre's width, 60 is the percentage of the width that represents the sidewall thickness, and 22.5 inches represents the diameter of the wheel. The letter "R" indicates that the tyre is of radial construction.
Trailer tyres have load ratings that indicate their weight-carrying capacity. For instance, in the trailer tyre 205/75R15 LRD, the "D" is the load rating. Medium-load trailers usually have trailer tyre load ratings of C, D, or E. These alphabets denote the number of plies constructed for the trailer tyre. C, D, and E-rated tyres have 6, 8, and 10-ply constructions, respectively. A higher-rated trailer tyre can carry a heavier load because each ply adds strength to the tyre. Therefore, C, D, and E-rated trailer tyres can withstand a maximum pressure of 50 psi, 65 psi, and 80 psi, respectively. The pressure rating increases with each alphabet by an increment of 15 psi. For more information, please refer to the trailer tyre pressure chart on the product page.
Yes, trailer tyres do need to be balanced. Even though a trailer doesn't have a motor, it still goes through vibrations on the road. These vibrations can cause the trailer tyres to become unbalanced, leading to uneven wear and poor performance. Balancing trailer tyres can help prevent these issues and ensure they perform optimally. Have a professional balance of your trailer tyres for the best results.
Trailer tyre lifespan is affected by several factors, including usage, road conditions, and maintenance. A typical trailer tyre can last up to 5 years, but this is not a hard and fast rule. The lifespan can be shortened if the tyre is frequently overloaded or underinflated or if it is exposed to harsh weather conditions like extreme heat or cold. It is essential to inspect your trailer tyres regularly for signs of wear and damage and to replace them when necessary. If you need more clarification about the trailer tyres life, it is always a good idea to consult a professional. Regular maintenance, including proper inflation, alignment, and rotation, can help extend the life of your trailer tyres. You can always refer to the trailer tyre load range chart for accurate information.
