49 Hey look at that, my trailer has tyres too!

Trailer tyres are easy to ignore but you shouldn’t! All the previous rules mentioned in these pages apply to your trailer too. Getting the right Load Index and inflation is critical to trip success. We use and hire Kimberley Kamper trailers here at Adventure 4WD because we reckon they’re the best. Because we care about our client’s holidays when hiring our campers we state quite clearly above the wheel-arches what we reckon a good mix of pressures might be. Start at 32 PSI on the bitumen fully laden before lowering to 26 PSI on the dirt, whilst sand and mud is best set at 18 PSI. This’ll cope with the anticipated holiday load we reckon our trailers will be carrying and rarely if ever do we get tyre failures when our clients follow the rules. The right tyres (Toyo of course), with the right pressures, are a great starting point!
