When to Replace Your Horse Trailer Tires

If your horse trailer tires are over four years old or your current models are damaged beyond repair, know that it is time to replace them.

Choose Between ST and LT Horse Trailer Tires

Although you can buy light truck (LT) tires, we recommend that you buy specialty trailer (ST) tires for your horse trailer. These models are sturdier with stronger sidewalls and more durable and long-lasting. ST tires also offer better ground traction, which reduces trailer sway and makes it safer and more comfortable for the animals.

Choose the Tire Load Range

Finally, you will want to choose tires with the highest load range available to prevent blowouts and keep you and your horses safe on the road. Usually, the load range of tires is marked from C to F—E denotes a 10-ply load, which is economical and safe. A higher ply rating means a better load capacity, which you will want to consider when buying tires for your horse trailer.
