Car trailer tyres

50s are very low profile for a trailer?

Yes Ivor Williams use them on a lot of their trailers

how many wheels does the trailer have?

two? four? six?


looking around can't see any tyres with a higher load rating that'll fit your rims

Hi Knighty, it's a twin axle so four wheels

Thanks to everyone for your comments, some quality advice there - thanks and much appreciated

The current tyre I have is: 175/70 R13 82 T

you could fit 175/80/R13

they can come in a 97 load rating so 730kg per tyre vs your 475load rating

so your 1900kg total vs 2920kg for the higher load rating.... a smidge over a ton more :-)


175/80/R13 will be about an inch and a half larger diameter vs your old ones

Last time I wanted trailer tyres, it was actually the same price to just buy new wheels with them fitted!
