A: Most 15-inch trailer tires require a pressure between 50-65 PSI. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines or the tire sidewall for exact specifications. Proper inflation ensures safety and extends tire lifespan.
A: No, 22-inch tires are incompatible with trailers built for 15-inch wheels. Using incorrect sizes may damage the trailer, affect stability, or void warranties. Stick to the manufacturer’s recommended tire size.
A: Replace 15-inch trailer tires every 3-6 years, even if tread depth appears sufficient. Regular inspections for cracks, wear, or damage are crucial. Exposure to UV rays and heavy loads can accelerate deterioration.
A: While sizes may overlap, trailer tires are reinforced for heavier loads and towing stress. Passenger tires lack this durability, making them unsafe for trailers. Always use tires specifically rated for trailer use.
A: Load capacity varies by model, but standard 15-inch trailer tires typically handle 1,800-3,000 lbs per tire. Check the load index on the tire sidewall and ensure total capacity meets your trailer’s weight requirements.
