I've got a 4 wheeled bike trailer with 10 inch Mini wheels, but no idea what the correct tyre pressures should be. Any ideas?

Does it not say on the tyres?

Tyres can go on many things, pressures differ innit.

Just posting on the offchance that someone has a 4 wheeled trailer with ten inch mini wheels and got the instructions with it. Smile

Hi

We have a similar dilemma with our 2 wheel trailer. Best thing is probably to speak to the tyre distributer and ask them. I just lob in 20psi as that should be sufficient for the fairly light weight they have to put up with, and is enough to keep them on the rims.

All the best

Wow thats low Keith.

On the minis I used to have on 10 inch wheels the pressure was 28psi.

On the little trailer my father has with little 10 inch wheels it runs 40-45 psi.

I would at least go for 30psi personally, but that would just be because I like putting that pressure in all tyres for some reason (apart from the bike).

Hi

I worked on the basis that the back wheels on my fwd car are ment to run at 23psi (compared to 26psi at the front), and the trailer has even less weight on it.

All the best
