Trailer Wheels & Tires

Are your trailer’s tires up to the task?

If you, like many boaters, pay little or no attention to your trailer’s tires, now might be the time to inspect them—and if necessary replace them to avoid a blowout or other problems on the way to your favorite coastline, river or lake. When inspecting your tires, look for excessive wear down the center of the tire indicating over inflation or along both edges of the tire indicating under inflation. Feathered wear along one side of the tire can indicate excessive toe in or toe out. If you notice uneven wear on your current tires, make sure to correct the problem when you replace your tires to avoid uneven wear on your new set.
