TYRES
Tyres must be maintained at the pressures indicated below. Under-inflation will adversely affect
handling and fuel consumption and will lead to premature wear. If seriously under-inflated, a tyre
will overheat and fail very rapidly.
When renewing tyres, always ensure that you purchase a tyre of the same size and load/speed
index rating. Different makes or models of tyres of the same size can have widely differing load/
speed index ratings and inflation pressures. Using tyres with a lower rating can be dangerous. If
in doubt, ask a tyre distributor or our technical department.
Tyre Fitments
Load /Speed Index - Pressure (Cold)
TT85G & TT85GE
165R13C 8PR (tubeless)
94/92N
65psi / 4.5 bar
TT105G & TT126G
185/60R12C (tubeless)
104/101N 95psi / 6.5 bar
The maximum gross weight figure given on the trailer plate is always equal to or less than the
approved maximum load for the tyres at 60mph multiplied by the number of tyres on the trailer.
Other maximum load figures are marked on some tyres. These do not apply to the UK or Europe
and should be disregarded
Tyre Repairs
Punctures should be inspected and repaired by a specialist tyre distributor. Do not fit tubes to
tubeless tyres as this can lead to a " blow out" in the event of a further puncture. If the tyre is too
severely damaged for a repair to be carried out the tyre must be replaced.
