Ensuring the longevity and performance of your trailer tires is a critical aspect of fleet maintenance. Regular tire rotations can extend the life of your tires, improve your trailer’s stability and fuel efficiency, and enhance overall safety.
Here are some signs that your trailer tires may need to be rotated:
Uneven Wear- The most evident sign that your trailer tires need rotating is uneven wear. This could mean that one tire is showing more wear than the others, or there could be irregular wear on a single tire itself (such as wearing more on one side than the other). Regular rotation can ensure that the tires wear evenly and last longer.
Vibrations or Instability- If you begin to feel vibrations through your trailer or notice it becoming unstable, especially at higher speeds, this may be a sign that the tires are not wearing evenly and need to be rotated.
Decreased Fuel Efficiency- Tire health can significantly impact your trailer’s fuel efficiency. If your trailer isn’t getting the mileage that it once did, it might indicate that your tires need attention.
Frequent Tire Pressure Adjustments- If you must adjust tire pressure frequently, this could indicate uneven wear and a need for tire rotation.
