Tyres fitted to a Boat Trailer in Worthing

Our team in the office received a phone call from a customer in Worthing, Sussex, who had a boat trailer with tyres in urgent need of some TLC!

The tyres had been on the boat trailer for around 8 years which is way past the recommended age a tyre will need replacing at. The standard life span of a tyre needing replacing through AGE is 5-6 years. In a lot of cases tyres will need replacing sooner than this if for example they are doing a high amount of mileage.

With trailer tyres and caravan tyres one of the most common reasons for replacement is age. If you inspect your tyres you will be able to look for a DOT code, this will tell you when the tyre was manufactured, it will be something like '0417', which means the 4th week of 2017, which would be somewhere around the end of January. If the last 2 numbers of the dot code are pre 2013 it will definitely be worth checking your tyres for signs of ageing, such as cracking in the tread.

We took 2 brand new Event tyres out to the customer and fitted them to their boat trailer, ready for the summer months ahead! Once they were fitted and balanced we took payment from the customer on the card machine on board and off we went!

Another satisfied customer!
