Product Information
Full details
This guide is for owners of Erde and Daxara trailers (models 100, 101, & 102) looking to enhance their trailer's performance and longevity. The key benefit is upgrading to heavier-duty, larger tires that improve stability on soft ground and reduce bearing wear. A potential consideration is ensuring these larger tires fit under your existing mudguards. This product provides two 4.00/4.80-8" wheel and tyre assemblies, replacing standard 3.50-8" tires.

FAQs
What trailers are these wheels compatible with?
These wheels are specifically designed as an upgrade for Erde and Daxara trailers, models 100, 101, and 102. They replace the standard 3.50-8" tyre size.
Do I need to check anything before fitting?
Yes, it's crucial to check the tyre pressure before fitting and ensure the larger 4.00/4.80-8" size has adequate clearance under your trailer's mudguards.
What is the load rating of these tyres?
Each tyre has a 4-ply rating and a maximum load capacity of 265kg.
How do these larger tyres benefit my trailer?
The wider profile improves stability on soft ground, and the larger diameter reduces bearing wear by making them spin slower.
Can I use these on other trailer brands?
While the tyre size might fit other trailers, they are specifically designed and recommended for Erde and Daxara models 100, 101, and 102.
What should I do after fitting the new wheels?
After initial fitting, re-check the tightness of the wheel nuts after a short period of driving, such as 50 miles, to ensure they remain secure.
Are these tyres suitable for road use?
Yes, these are road-legal tyres and provide an upgrade for general trailer use, including on roads and varied terrain.
Troubleshooting
Tyre loses pressure over time.
Check for punctures, ensure the valve stem is secure, and verify the tyre is properly seated on the rim. Re-inflate to the correct pressure.
Trailer pulls to one side.
Ensure both tyres are inflated to the same pressure and that they are correctly fitted. Check for any damage or uneven wear on the tyres.
Wheel wobbles or feels loose.
Check that the wheel nuts are securely tightened. If the wobble persists, inspect the wheel bearing for damage or wear.
Tyres seem too large for mudguards.
This is a potential compatibility issue. While designed to fit, mudguard clearance can vary. Ensure no rubbing occurs during normal operation. If rubbing is significant, mudguard modification or replacement might be necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Improves off-road performance on soft ground.
- Potentially increases trailer bearing lifespan due to slower rotation.
- Offers a higher load capacity than standard tires.
- Provides a more robust and durable tire solution.
- Easy to install as a direct replacement for existing wheels.
Cons
- May not fit under all standard mudguards due to increased size.
- Requires checking tire pressure before initial use.
- Larger size might alter trailer's center of gravity slightly.
- Not compatible with trailer models other than Erde/Daxara 100, 101, & 102.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
- This wheel and tyre assembly is designed as an upgrade for Erde and Daxara trailers specifically models 100, 101, and 102. It replaces the standard 3.50-8" tyre size.
- Always verify that the larger 4.00/4.80-8" size will fit under your trailer's existing mudguards before purchase. While they usually fit, variations in trailer design can occur.
- These tyres have a 4-ply rating and a maximum load capacity of 265kg per tyre.
Setup:
- Check Tyre Pressure: Before fitting, ensure the tyres are inflated to the correct pressure. The recommended pressure is typically indicated on the tyre sidewall or in your trailer's manual.
- Mount Wheels: Remove the old wheel and tyre assemblies. Mount the new 4.00/4.80-8" wheel and tyre assemblies onto the trailer's hubs.
- Secure Nuts: Tighten the wheel nuts securely. It's advisable to re-check the tightness after a short period of use (e.g., 50 miles).
Care:
- Regularly inspect tyres for signs of wear, cracking, or damage.
- Maintain correct tyre pressure for optimal performance and safety.
- Clean the wheels and tyres with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
