FAQs

What is the maximum load this tyre can carry?

The maximum load capacity for this tyre is 265kg (584lb).

What is the maximum recommended tyre pressure?

The maximum recommended tyre pressure is 58 PSI (4.0 bar).

Does this tyre require an inner tube?

No, this is a tubeless tyre and does not require an inner tube.

Which trailer models is this tyre typically used on?

This tyre is commonly fitted to Erde and Daxara 120 series trailers, such as the 121 and 122 models.

Can I use this tyre on a different size rim?

No, this tyre is specifically designed for 8" rims and the 4.00/4.80 x 8" size. Using it on a different size rim is unsafe and not recommended.

How often should I check the tyre pressure?

It is recommended to check tyre pressure regularly, ideally before each use of the trailer, and at least once a month.

What does '4 Ply Rated' mean?

'4 Ply Rated' indicates the tyre's strength and resistance to damage, equivalent to having four layers of reinforcing cords in its construction.

Troubleshooting

Tyre won't seat properly on the rim

Ensure the rim is clean and free of debris. Use a tyre lubricant on the bead. Check for any damage to the rim or tyre bead. Professional mounting is recommended if issues persist.

Tyre loses pressure over time

Check the valve stem for leaks. Inspect the tyre bead for a proper seal with the rim. Look for any punctures or damage to the tyre casing. Ensure the rim is not corroded.

Uneven wear on the tyre

Check wheel alignment and balance. Ensure correct tyre pressure is maintained. Verify that the load limit is not being exceeded and that the load is distributed evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This tyre is designed for 8" rims and specifically fits the 4.00/4.80 x 8" size designation. It is a common fitment for Erde and Daxara 120 series trailers (e.g., 121, 122). Always confirm your trailer's existing tyre size and rim diameter before purchase.

Setup:

Installation should be performed by a qualified individual. Ensure the tyre is seated correctly on the 8" rim. The tyre is tubeless, so no inner tube is required. Proper mounting and inflation are critical for safety and performance.

Care:

  • Inflation: Maintain the recommended maximum tyre pressure of 58 PSI (4.0 bar). Under or over-inflation can lead to poor handling, reduced tyre life, and increased risk of failure.
  • Load Limit: Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 265kg (584lb) per tyre.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the tyre for wear, cuts, bulges, or foreign objects. Check tread depth and ensure it meets legal requirements.
  • Storage: Store the tyre in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemicals when not in use. Ensure it is not under excessive load.
