Ballarat Trailer Tyres
Towing isn’t just about what’s under the bonnet—it’s what’s under the trailer that matters. ARB Budget Tyres in Ballarat fits trailer tyres built for weight, distance and reliability. Whether you’re hauling tools, towing a float or heading off-grid with a caravan, your tyres need to hold steady under pressure.
We supply and fit tyres designed to cope with long drives, heavy loads and rough terrain. It’s not just about the size—it’s about load rating, sidewall strength and long-wearing tread. We’ll walk you through the options and get them fitted properly so you don’t run into issues halfway down the road.
If your trailer’s bouncing, swaying or chewing through tyres too fast, it might be time for a change. Reach out to our team on 0413 786 820 and we’ll get you sorted.
Fitting Trailers, Horse Floats & Caravans
Caravans, floats and trailers all wear their tyres differently—and not always evenly. Extended parking, uneven weight or off-road tracks can all lead to flat spots, cracks and blowouts when you least expect it. That’s why tyre checks and proper fitment matter.
We stock tyres suited to high loads and unpredictable roads, whether you're carrying horses or hauling camping gear. You'll find brands built specifically for towing needs—tyres with reinforced casings, UV protection and thicker sidewalls that stand up to heat and pressure. We can also check and adjust your tyre pressure for loaded travel, and help with spares if you're heading far.
Don’t wait for a tyre to let go on the highway or in the paddock. A quick visit now could save a lot of stress later.
Do trailer tyres need to be a specific type?
Yes, trailer tyres are built differently to standard car tyres. They’re designed to carry heavy loads and often feature stiffer sidewalls, higher load ratings and specific tread patterns suited to straight-line towing.
Using regular car tyres on trailers can result in early wear, blowouts or unsafe handling—especially under load.
Can I use second-hand tyres on my float or caravan?
It’s not illegal, but it’s risky. Second-hand tyres may have hidden damage or wear that isn’t visible until they fail—especially under heavy loads. If you’re towing animals or long-distance gear, new or well-inspected tyres are a safer bet.
Always check load rating and manufacturing age before using used tyres.
What pressure should I run in my trailer tyres?
Tyre pressure depends on the tyre’s load rating and the weight of the trailer. You’ll often need higher pressure than a car—sometimes 45–65 PSI.
Always check the recommended pressure listed on the tyre or the trailer’s compliance plate. Running too low can cause blowouts, while too high reduces grip and comfort.
