Trailer wheels and tyres

This guide will help you to understand what information you need to give us when asking for a replacement wheel and tyre. It will also help you to determine if your wheels and tyres are standard sizes that we stock, or if they are different sizes that we can order in for you.'Rim' and 'Wheel'These two terms are often misused when referring to trailer wheels. The rim is the seat that the tyre sits, whereas the wheel is the complete assembly, consisting of a rim and a wheel disc.
