See the calendar below and follow each manufacturer’s recommendations.
When the trailer is in storage or not in use, ensure that tires are properly
inflated to the pressure recommended by the tire manufacturer and
shade them from direct sunlight to prevent cracking.
Place protection from the ground such as a black garbage bag, piece of
carpet or plywood under the tires to protect them from any potential
chemical spills.
