FAQs

What is the maximum load capacity of this trailer wheel?

The maximum load capacity for this wheel is 940lbs (425kg).

Is this tyre road legal in the UK and Europe?

Yes, the tyre is E-marked, making it road legal for use in Europe and the UK.

What does 4-inch PCD mean?

PCD stands for Pitch Circle Diameter. A 4-inch PCD means the diameter of the circle passing through the center of the four stud holes on the wheel is 4 inches. This is a crucial measurement for ensuring the wheel fits your trailer's hub.

Can I use this tyre on any trailer?

No, this tyre and wheel assembly is specific to trailers with a 4-stud hub and a 4-inch PCD. Always check your trailer's specifications before purchasing.

What is the maximum speed rating for this tyre?

The Wanda P815 tyre has a maximum speed rating of 140km/h (81mph).

How should I check if this wheel fits my trailer?

Measure the diameter of the circle passing through the center of your trailer's existing wheel studs. You also need to count the number of studs. This wheel requires 4 studs spaced on a 4-inch PCD.

What is the significance of the 6-ply rating?

A 6-ply rating (6PR) indicates the tyre's load-carrying capacity and durability. It signifies that the tyre is constructed with equivalent strength to a tire with six nylon cord layers, providing robust performance under load.

Troubleshooting

Wheel does not fit the hub.

Double-check the stud pattern and PCD. This wheel has a 4-stud, 4-inch PCD. If your trailer has a different configuration, this wheel is not compatible.

Tyre appears under-inflated.

Check the tyre pressure using a reliable gauge and inflate to the recommended 50 PSI. Re-check after 24 hours to ensure it holds pressure.

Uneven wear on the tyre.

Ensure correct tyre pressure is maintained. Check for wheel alignment issues on the trailer axle. Verify that the wheel is correctly seated on the hub and the lug nuts are torqued properly.

Noise or vibration during towing.

Ensure the wheel is securely fastened to the hub with properly torqued lug nuts. Check for any damage to the tyre or rim. Verify tyre pressure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust steel rim for heavy-duty applications.
  • E-marked tyre ensures road legality in Europe and UK.
  • Wide profile enhances trailer stability during transit.
  • High-speed rating suitable for long-distance towing.
  • Durable 6-ply construction for extended service life.

Cons

  • Specific 4-stud, 4-inch PCD fitment may limit compatibility.
  • Non-directional tyre may not offer optimal performance in all conditions compared to directional patterns.
  • Requires manual inflation to the specified PSI.
  • Tread depth of 6.5mm is standard but may wear faster under extreme conditions.
  • Specific dimensions (18.5x8.50-8) mean it's not a universal fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility Check:

Before installation, verify that your trailer hub uses a 4-stud mounting pattern with a 4-inch Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD). The center hole size is 67mm, and the stud hole size is 12.5mm. Ensure these specifications match your trailer's axle or hub for a secure fit. The rim has an ET0 (zero) offset.

Installation:

  1. Ensure the trailer axle is properly supported and the wheel is removed.
  2. Mount the new wheel onto the studs, ensuring it sits flush against the hub.
  3. Hand-tighten the nuts onto the studs.
  4. Using a torque wrench, tighten the nuts in a star pattern to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification. Over-tightening can damage the studs or rim.

Tyre Pressure:

Inflate the tyre to the recommended 50 PSI. Regularly check tyre pressure, especially before long journeys or when carrying heavy loads, as under or over-inflation can affect performance, safety, and tyre life.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the wheel rim with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the silver powder-coated and electro-coated finish.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the tyre for signs of wear, damage, or embedded objects. Check the rim for any cracks or deformation.
  • Storage: If storing the trailer for extended periods, ensure the tyres are properly inflated and ideally stored out of direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
