Trailer Tires in Exeter Ontario

No matter what you’re towing, be it a boat, a trailer full of ATVs, or a travel camper, there’s a lot riding on your trailer tires. But choosing the best trailer tires and rims doesn’t have to be a struggle—just contact Haugh Tirecraft Exeter for personalized trailer tire recommendations, speedy service, and honest advice.

How to choose the best trailer tires for your needs and vehicle

You might already have lots of experience buying tires for passenger vehicles, but trailer tires are a different story.

Whereas passenger tire manufacturers typically concern themselves with good traction and creature comfort, with sidewalls designed to bend and flex in order to grip the road and minimize vibrations, trailer tires are all about maximizing their carrying load capacity.

Accordingly, ST-rated trailer tires are designed with much stiffer sidewalls, and the carcass of the tire is made up of a greater number of polyester and steel belts, both to carry additional weight and increase stability.

When buying trailer tires for a recreational vehicle, boat, or utility trailer, always look for an ST rating. While it is possible to install LT or light truck tires on some trailers, they lack the rigidity of dedicated ST-rated trailer tires, which can lead to considerable swaying and handling issues on the road.

Before you buy, it’s also a good idea to gather the following information, most of which can be found in the owner’s manual or on the door placard:

• Optimal trailer tire size
• Gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) or maximum weight the vehicle can carry when fully loaded
• Gross axle weight rating or the maximum weight capacity of each axle
• Load rating
• Recommended tire pressure

For best results, you should also consider your unique cargo, daily driving demands, local weather conditions, and desired tire features. Many of these factors are highly subjective; others may require some expert advice, requiring a bit more knowledge of trailer tires than the average consumer brings to the table.

But don’t worry—your local Haugh Tirecraft Exeter trailer tire techs can simplify the entire process, asking simple questions to create a “customer profile,” then using this information create a shortlist of trailer tire recommendations based on your specific needs and budget.
