Boat Trailer Tyres not Car Tyres

Boat trailers tyres and wheels are specially made to meet the demands of trailers, unlike car tyres that are designed to handle braking systems and sophisticated suspension demands, using car tyres on your boat trailer becomes a safety issue. Instead, boat trailer tyres are designed to be free-spinning and passive, and to sit underneath a stiff load bearing suspension.

Trailer tyres are also narrow and have shallow treads, unlike car tyres, this not only helps improve fuel economy, but also prevents the tyres from wobbling. It is also recommended that boat trailer tyres are replaced roughly every 3-5 years, depending on use, and even if there is plenty of tread still left on them. The reason for this because of oxidation.

Most trailers sit in the same spot for weeks and months at a time, although they may not get much road use, UV radiation exposure from the sun weakens the sidewalls, combined with pressurised air causes damage inside the tyres that can’t be seen.

So, if it is time to get some new tyres for your boat trailer, don’t worry about having to haul yourself down to a shop far off, instead, order your boat trailer wheels and tyres online at your convenience from Sales Trailers Pty. Ltd.
