FAQs

What does 155/70 R12 mean?

155 refers to the tyre width in millimeters, 70 is the aspect ratio (tyre height is 70% of its width), and R12 indicates the wheel rim diameter in inches.

How do I know if this wheel fits my trailer?

You must verify your trailer's specifications: it should be an Ifor Williams 3500kg plant trailer, with a 12" rim, 5 stud fitment, and a 165.1mm PCD. Crucially, the tyre's load capacity must meet or exceed your trailer's axle weight rating.

What is the load rating of this wheel and tyre assembly?

The tyre has a maximum load capacity of 900kg per wheel, which translates to 1800kg per axle.

Can I use this on a different brand of trailer?

While the physical dimensions (studs, PCD, rim size) might fit other trailers, it is specifically designed and recommended for Ifor Williams 3500kg Plant Trailers. Always check load ratings and manufacturer recommendations.

Do I need to check the tyre pressure regularly?

Yes, it is essential to check tyre pressure regularly, ideally before each use, and maintain it at the manufacturer's recommended level for safety and optimal performance.

What is the PCD measurement?

PCD stands for Pitch Circle Diameter. For this wheel, it is 165.1mm (6.5 inches), which is the diameter of the circle on which the wheel stud holes are centered.

Where can I find my trailer's plated axle weight?

The plated axle weight (also known as Gross Vehicle Mass or MAM - Maximum Authorised Mass) is usually found on a compliance plate or sticker on the trailer's chassis or A-frame.

Troubleshooting

Wheel wobble or vibration during use.

Check wheel nut torque. Ensure the wheel is correctly seated on the hub. The tyre may be unbalanced or the wheel rim could be damaged; consider professional inspection.

Tyre appears underinflated or overinflated.

Check tyre pressure using a reliable gauge and adjust to the recommended PSI. Refer to the tyre sidewall or trailer manufacturer's guide for correct pressure.

Unusual wear patterns on the tyre.

This can indicate incorrect inflation, wheel misalignment, or bearing issues. Have the trailer's suspension, alignment, and bearings checked by a professional.

Difficulty fitting the wheel to the trailer hub.

Double-check that the PCD and stud holes match your trailer's hub exactly. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the mounting surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Check:

Before purchasing, it is essential to verify that this wheel and tyre assembly matches your trailer's original specifications.

  1. Confirm Trailer Model: Ensure your trailer is an Ifor Williams Plant Trailer model rated for 3500kg.
  2. Check Rim Size: Verify your existing rim is 12 inches.
  3. Count Studs: Confirm your wheel hub has 5 studs.
  4. Measure PCD: Measure the Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD) to ensure it is 165.1mm (6.5 inches).
  5. Verify Load Rating: Check that the tyre's load capacity (900kg per wheel) meets or exceeds the trailer's plated axle weights (MAM).

Installation:

  • Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or someone experienced in trailer wheel fitting.
  • Ensure the wheel is torqued to the manufacturer's recommended settings.

Care:

  • Regularly check tyre pressure and maintain it according to the tyre manufacturer's recommendations.
  • Inspect the tyre tread for wear and any signs of damage.
  • Check wheel nuts for tightness periodically.
  • Clean the wheel rim with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
