Choosing the right trailer tire isn’t just about picking the right size — it’s about making sure your trailer is safe, stable, and ready for the road. At Delta Tire Sale and Service, we help drivers and fleet managers find the best trailer tires that deliver performance, durability, and peace of mind.
Here’s everything you need to know when selecting your next set of trailer tires.
1. Know the Difference: Trailer Tires vs. Vehicle Tires
Trailer tires are specifically designed to handle the heavy loads and stresses of towing. They have stronger sidewalls to prevent swaying and better handle weight distribution.
➡️ At Delta, we stock both ST (Special Trailer) tires and LT (Light Truck) tires rated for trailer use, depending on your needs.
2. Understand Load Ratings
Every trailer tire comes with a load rating, which tells you how much weight each tire can safely carry. Choosing tires with the right load rating is crucial to avoid blowouts or premature wear. Always consider the fully loaded weight of your trailer when selecting tires.
➡️ Delta’s tire experts can help you calculate the correct load rating for your specific trailer.
3. Pick the Right Size
Trailer tires come in a variety of sizes and designs. Always check your trailer’s manual or current tires to find the correct size. Using the wrong size can cause clearance issues, handling problems, and even lead to dangerous situations on the road.
➡️ We’ll help you find the perfect size match at Delta Tire Sale and Service.
4. Consider Radial vs. Bias Ply
- Radial tires: Great for long-distance highway driving. They provide a smoother ride, better heat resistance, and longer tread life.
- Bias ply tires: Better for rugged terrain, shorter trips, and heavy-duty loads at slower speeds.
➡️ At Delta, we carry both radial and bias ply trailer tires so you can choose what best fits your towing needs.
5. Don’t Forget About Tire Age
Even if your trailer tires look fine, rubber degrades over time. Experts recommend replacing trailer tires every 5 to 7 years, even if they have plenty of tread left. Check the DOT code on the sidewall to see the manufacture date.
