Correct tyre pressure for your trailer

It is crucial to regularly check the overall condition of the trailer and the condition of the tyres, both in terms of safety and reliability.

Quality tyres and even loading contribute significantly to road safety.

Trailer tyres are the only components that directly interact with the road, which explains their importance to vehicle grip and stability. The condition of tyres, especially pressure and tread, has a significant impact on safety.

It is therefore important to check them regularly:

- Tyre pressure
- Tread depth
- Any irregular wear
- Cracks in the sidewalls

Why is the correct trailer tyre pressure so crucial?

- Fuel consumption is lower
- Road grip is optimal
- Braking distance is optimal
- Road irregularities are well absorbed
- Steering behaviour is optimal
- Increased stability contributes to maximum driving comfort
- Trailer tyres have a longer service life
- Risk of flat tyres is minimised

Correct tyre pressure promotes driving comfort and increases operational safety. Optimum tyre pressure improves braking performance, reduces the risk of aquaplaning, minimises tyre wear and significantly reduces the risk of punctures. This also makes your driving more economical. It is therefore essential to check your tyre pressure regularly.

The optimum tyre pressure for your trailer depends on the type of tyre. The table below gives you an overview of the required tyre pressure:
