Trailer Tire Maintenance
Trailer Tire: The importance of constant upkeep
Your Trailer tires can blow or wear out under a lot of different circumstances:
- Overloading your trailer - Make sure you know your trailers load capacity, and stick to that number each haul!
- Underinflating the tires - Before every haul job, make sure you check tire pressure!
- Road hazards - Different unseen circumstances such as nails on the road can derail your hauling plans. Make sure to be trained in tire replacement and have a spare for circumstances out of your control!
- Poor tire maintenance - Lack of tire maintenance can run a tire out of commission faster than anything! Be completely sure to keep up on your tires!
- Running your tires beyond the recommended lifespan - On average, trailer tires last 3-5 years. Once you find your tires are going down in quality, be sure to be ready to replace or be ready to take the time to perform regular maintenance to enhance the quality and life span of your trailer tires!
Save money and the headache of tire replacement by simply checking tire pressure and keeping the tires clean! Eventually, the tires will go and replacements will be needed, but hold that off by having great upkeep on your hauler!
