What are some of the most popular tyres for a trailer?
Kenda Mastertrail 3G
The Kenda Mastertrail 3G tyre is the third-generation version of Kenda's highly regarded trailer tyre. It is suitable for single axle trailers, tandem trailers, triaxles, and even heavy-duty trailers. Its strong carcass design means it has a high load capacity. The FRT construction optimises mileage, whilst the specially-designed tread minimises noise, and the high-density of sipes boosts all-season performance. The Kenda Mastertrail 3G has low rolling resistance and is Mud & Snow (M+S) certified.
Kargomax ST6000
The GT Radial Kargomax ST6000 tyre is built for longevity and specifically designed for heavy caravan and trailer use. The Kargomax ST6000 has an enhanced sidewall, which offers increased durability and wear life, low rolling resistance, and reduced air propagation. This tyre is C-rated for fuel efficiency and wet grip and A-rated for noise (70dB).

FAQs
Many people find it easier and more convenient to go for "like-for-like" i.e. the same as they currently have fitted. However, there is no legal requirement to do this, so you can look at different options. Just make sure that the tyres are the correct size and have the correct load and speed ratings.
Many drivers believe that there are no restrictions when it comes to the condition of the tyres on their trailer. However, this is absolutely not the case. In fact, the exact same laws apply. This means a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm, free of cuts and bulges, and securely-fitted mudguards. If any of your tyres are substandard, you could face 3 penalty points on your licence and a fine of up to £2,500.
The good news is that they are generally cheaper than standard car tyres. If you are on a tight budget, and spreading the cost of your new tyres would help, then you could consider paying with Klarna?
The main differences between trailer tyres and normal car tyres are that trailer tyres are made from heavier-duty rubber, have thicker/stiffer sidewalls, narrower tread width, and greater load capacity. Additionally, they are generally not designed for high speeds relative to those of car tyres.
