Glider trailers ! there are a few things to consider when
selecting a tyre for a glider trailer, questions to ask now are, does it tow
well now ? or is it squirrelly above a certain speed, how much is the total load
on the tyre, trailer and pay load, do you use the trailer a lot or seldom use
it, these would have a bearing on what to put on a trailer, if the trailer is
squirrelly above say 80 kph, sometimes replacing the radial tyres with cross
ply's will settle it down as the cross ply's have less flex in the side walls,
check the load rating on the tyre and make sure the replacement is well inside
the rating for weight and speed. I usually recommend a light truck tyre as a
good bet for replacement tyres.
