Tires can be saw as semi-trailer shoes, play a vital role. As the saying goes, only the feet know whether the shoes are suitable. Then do you know how to choose the suitable ‘shoes’ for your trailers? Let’s discuss this topic together.

I、 The common type of tires for different models

First of all, the tire has a wire tire and a vacuum tire. These two types are subdivided into various models, and different tires are adapted to different models.

Among them, the most commonly seen on the market today are 11.00R20 wire tires and 12.00R22.5 vacuum tires. They are widely used in side-lifting dump trailer and various types of hazardous chemicals vehicles. 12.00R22.5 tires are mostly used in long-distance and good road conditions. The tires and patterns are mostly 3 or 4 lines.

Poor road conditions and short-distance can be equipped with 11.00R20 wire tire or 12.00R22.5 vacuum tire. Currently 12R22.5, 12-layer vacuum tires are mostly in the market. But the actual application is 16 layers or 18 vacuum tires are mostly. It is known that the higher the tire level, the higher the durability factor and the greater the safety factor.

825-16 vacuum tire / 820-R20 wire tire tires are generally used in three-wire six-axis low-bed trailer. Also mostly used in the 13-meter flat-bed semi-trailer. This type of tire has a small diameter and a low bearing surface, and the current level is mostly 16 layers.

The 235/75R17.5-16PR and 317/70R22.5 are widely used in standard car transport semi-trailers and mid-sleeve cars, and the level is generally 16.

II、Precautions of using tires

When purchasing tires in the later stage, pay attention to the manufacture time on the tires. When replacing the tires, the same brand, specification, level, and pattern tires should be installed on the same axle.

Try to avoid overloading for a long time during use, check tire wear and tire pressure in time, otherwise the service life of the tire will be reduced by 20%-50%.

For the safety problem of tire driving, long-time driving, or poor road conditions, frequent braking, the tire will quickly heat up. At these times, you need to install a watering device to timely cool the tires to prevent temperature. Prevent tire pressure to puncture, endanger driving safety.

As a vital part of the semi-trailer, the tire is related to the safety of the vehicle. Regularly check the pattern wear of the tire, replace the position reasonably, and replace the hidden tire in time to avoid unnecessary loss.
