u Your tires should have a minimum tread depth of 1/16 inch. Measure this with a proper tire tread depth gauge.
u Take a pressure reading when your tires are cold (not driven
on) and when the trailer is empty and sitting on a flat surface. The
maximum PSI (pounds per square inch) is found on the sidewall of the
tire along with the maximum load rating.
u ST-tires should be inflated to their Maximum Air Pressure.
u Do not overinflate your tires. As you drive, the heat generated
will naturally cause the tires to expand. If you’ve overinflated the tire
you risk a blowout.
u In addition to regular tire maintenance, take a walk around your
trailer before you drive away from a stop. Make sure the
load is still secure and wheels are tight and roll freely.
u “NEVER LOAD THE TRAILER
BEYOND THE MANUFACTURER’S
DESIGN LIMIT (GVW).”
u Load your trailer heavier in front
(unless otherwise directed by the trailer
manufacturer)
u The trailer should have about 60% of the
cargo weight in front and 40% in the back.
