Trailer Tires in Mississauga, Etobicoke, and Oakville

Trailer tires (ST-rated) are built with reinforced sidewalls and stiffer construction to carry heavy, stationary loads without flexing or swaying at highway speeds. Regular passenger or light-truck tires are designed for traction, handling, and ride comfort — not for towing loads — and shouldn’t be used as a substitute on a trailer axle.

Check the sidewall of your current trailer tire or your trailer’s manufacturer plate (usually near the hitch or on the frame) for the size and load rating. If you’re unsure, our team can help match the right size and load range to your trailer’s weight capacity.

Trailer tires should be replaced based on age as much as tread wear — most manufacturers recommend replacement every 3–5 years regardless of tread depth, since trailers often sit for long periods and tires can dry-rot before they wear out. Cracking, bulging, or visible sidewall damage are signs it’s time for new tires.

It’s not recommended. Standard tires lack the reinforced sidewall construction of ST-rated trailer tires and are more prone to swaying, overheating, and blowouts under trailer loads. Our cost-effective trailer tire line-up is designed to offer an affordable option without that risk.

Yes — trailer tires should match in size, load range, and ideally brand/tread on both sides of an axle. Mismatched tires can cause uneven wear, handling issues, and put unnecessary strain on your trailer’s suspension.

All-steel radial trailer tires generally offer higher load capacity, a smoother ride, and longer tread life, making them well-suited to heavier boat, cargo, or RV trailers. Semi-steel bias-ply trailer tires are a more budget-friendly option for lighter-duty utility and landscape trailers. Our team can help match the right construction to your trailer’s weight and use.
