3 Wheels and T Trailer Tire Facts Application Trailer tires are designed for use on trailer axle positions only. Do not mount ST or LT trailer tires on passenger cars or light trucks. An LT designation on a trailer tire size specifies load range only. Inflation Under inflation is the number one cause of tire failure. Always inflate trailer tires to the maximum inflation indicated on the sidewall. Check inflation when the tires are cool and have not been exposed to the sun. If the tires are hot to the touch from operation, add 3 psi to the maximum inflation. Inflation should be re-checked when the tires are cool. Load Carrying Capacity All tires must be identical in size for the tires to properly manage the weight of the trailer. The combined capacity of the 2 tires must equal or exceed the GVW of the axle. The combined capacity of all the tires should exceed the loaded trailer weight by 20%. If the actual weight is not available, use the trailer GVW. If a tire fails on a tandem axle trailer, replace both tires on that side. The remaining tire was likely subjected to excessive loading. If the tires are replaced with tires of larger diameter, the tongue height may need to be adjusted to maintain proper weight distribution. Speed All ST tires have a maximum speed rating of 65 mph. Mileage Trailer tires are not designed to wear out. The life of a trailer tire is limited by time and duty cycles. The mileage expectation of a trailer tire is usually 5,000-12,000 miles. Why Use an ST Tire ST tires feature materials and construction to meet the higher load requirements and demands of trailering. The polyester cords are bigger than they would be for a comparable P or LT tire. The steel cords have a larger diameter and greater tinsel strength to meet the additional load requirements. ST tire rubber compounds contain more chemicals to resist weather and ozone cracking. Storage The ideal storage is in a cool, dark garage at maximum inflation. Use tire covers to protect the tires from direct sunlight. Use thin plywood sections between the tire and pavement. For long term storage, put the trailer on blocks to take the weight off the tires, lower the air pressure and cover tires to protect them from direct sunlight. Maintenance Clean tires using a mild soap and water. Do not use tire-care products containing alcohol or petroleum distillates. Inspect for cuts, snags, bulges or punctures. Check the inflation before towing and again before the return trip. As heat builds up, the tire s structure starts to disintegrate and weaken. The load carrying capacity gradually decreases as the heat and stresses generated by higher speed increases. Time Time and elements weaken a trailer tire. In about 3 years, approximately 1/3 of the tire s strength is gone. It is suggested that trailer tires be replaced after 3-5 years of service regardless of tread depth or tire appearance. Three Keys to Avoiding Trouble Make sure your rig is equipped with the proper tires. Maintain the tires meticulously. Replace trailer tires every 3-5 years, whether they look like they re worn out or not. 122
