FAQs

What does 'E-marked' mean?

The 'E-marked' (E4-54R-0030979) signifies that the tyre meets the technical regulations for road safety and environmental standards required for use in Europe and the UK.

What is the maximum load capacity of this tyre?

Each tyre has a maximum load capacity of 910 lbs (425 kg).

Can I use these tyres on my car?

No, these are specifically designed trailer tyres. They are not suitable for use on passenger vehicles.

What is the difference between crossply and radial tyres?

Crossply tyres have plies layered diagonally, offering durability and stability. Radial tyres have plies running radially across the tyre, typically providing a more comfortable ride and better fuel efficiency, but this model is a crossply tyre.

How do I check the tread depth?

The tread depth is measured from the bottom of the tread groove to the top. This tyre has a tread depth of 6.5mm.

Is this tyre directional?

No, the Wanda P815 is a non-directional tyre, meaning it can be fitted to either side of the trailer.

What is the PSI rating for this tyre?

The recommended inflation pressure for this tyre is 50 PSI (3.5 bar).

Troubleshooting

Tyre pressure seems low.

Check for slow leaks around the rim or valve stem. Ensure the tyre is inflated to the recommended 50 PSI.

Uneven wear on the tyre.

Verify wheel alignment on the trailer and ensure the tyre is correctly inflated. Rotate tyres if possible and practical for even wear.

Tyre vibrates during driving.

The tyre may require balancing. Professional balancing is recommended for smooth operation and to prevent premature wear.

Difficulty mounting the tyre.

Ensure the wheel rim is clean and free of debris. Use appropriate tyre mounting lubricant. Professional mounting is advised if issues persist.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Road legal in Europe and UK due to E-mark certification.
  • Designed for high-speed stability with a wide profile.
  • Robust 6-ply construction for durability.
  • Effective water dispersal for safer wet-weather performance.
  • Non-directional for easier fitting.

Cons

  • Specific size (18.5x8.50-8) may not fit all trailers.
  • Crossply construction can result in a firmer ride compared to radial tyres.
  • Requires correct inflation pressure (50 PSI) for optimal performance and safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

Ensure your trailer's wheel rim is compatible with the 18.5x8.50-8 tyre size. The tyre has an overall diameter of 480mm and a maximum section width of 213mm. Always check your trailer's manual or existing tyre sidewall for recommended sizing.

Setup:

These are tubeless tyres. Professional mounting onto the wheel rim is recommended. Ensure the tyre bead seals correctly with the rim. Inflate to the specified 50 PSI (3.5 bar). The tyre is non-directional, offering flexibility during installation.

Care:

Regularly inspect the tyres for signs of wear, damage, or embedded objects. Maintain the correct inflation pressure of 50 PSI. Clean the tyres periodically with mild soap and water; avoid harsh chemicals. Store the trailer in a dry, shaded area when not in use to prolong tyre life.
