What trailer Tyres are legal?

Car and trailer tyres must have at least 1.6mm of tread over the central 75% of their width for their entire circumference, although a tyre with under 3mm offers little grip in the wet.

How long do tyres last?

How long a tyre lasts depends on how its driven and stored. Under normal driving conditions, you should get a minimum of 20,000 miles out of front tyres on a front-wheel-drive car. For rear tyres, it can be double that – around 40,000 miles. We recommend moving worn rear tyres to the front when the front ones wear out.

Why do trailers need special tires?

Trailer tires have a thicker side-wall design that has a few different purposes. First, the thicker sidewall allows for heavier load bearing capacity. Second, the thicker sidewall helps to avoid trailers swaying as they travel down the road and through turns at high speeds.
