Trailer Tires
Sp
ecial Trailer (ST) tires differ from vehicle
tires. ST tires are designed with stiff sidewalls
to help prevent sway and to support heavy
loads. These features can make it difficult to
determine if the trailer tire pressures are low
only based on avisual inspection.
Always check all trailer tire pressures before
each trip when the tires are cool. Low trailer tire
pressure is aleading cause of trailer tire blow-
outs.
If the vehicle is equipped with atrailer tire
pressure monitoring system, see the trailer tire
pressure monitoring system description and
the Trailering App 3301.
Trailer tires deteriorate over time. The trailer
ti
re sidewall will show the week and year
the tire was manufactured. Many trailer
tire manufacturers recommend replacing tires
more than six years old.
Overloading is another leading cause of trailer
tire blow-outs. Never load your trailer with
more weight than the tires are designed to
support. The load rating is located on the trailer
tire sidewall.
Always know the maximum speed rating for
the trailer tires before driving. This may be
significantly lower than the vehicle tire speed
rating. The speed rating may be on the trailer
tire sidewall. If the speed rating is not shown,
the default trailer tire speed rating is 105 km/h
(65 mph).
