Q – How To Determine The Right Air Pressure?
A – Trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum PSI indicated on the tire. Keeping them at the proper air pressure is key for longevity, load- carrying capacity, and the ability for the tire to dissipate heat efficiently. Find the maximum tire pressure by looking at your tire sidewall. Look for the small notation “Max. Load” followed by a PSI number.

Q – How Can You Extend Tread Life?

1. Visually inspect your tires before each trip.
2. Check tire pressure before you use your trailer. Keep your tires inflated to the maximum PSI branded on the sidewall.
3. When you’re storing your trailer for the off-season, use tire covers to protect them from early wear. Park in a cool, dry place.
4. Keep caps on tire air valve stems, to keep debris and moisture out.
5. If you notice excessive, uneven trailer tire wear, get a tire professional to assess the problem and determine a solution.
6. Don’t assume that replacing tires with a set that has a higher load capacity will fix uneven wear problems. You’ll likely have the same problem with the new set if there’s something wrong with the trailer alignment, suspension or axles.

LUG NUT TORQUE & PATTERN

DETERMINING BOLT PATTERNS

The first number in the bolt pattern indicates the number of bolt holes present. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit. On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: “6 on 5-1/2” means 6 bolt holes with 5-1/2” from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.) To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the back of any bolt hole to the center of the bolt holes nearly across from the first. (Example: “5 on 4-1/2” means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2”)
