Tires
The most common cause of trailer tire trouble is under-inflation. It is
important, therefore, to always maintain correct air pressure as indi-
cated by the tire manufacturer on the tire’s sidewalls. (Tire pressure
information may be listed on stickers elsewhere as a convenience,
but because tires may be replaced, the air pressure should always
be verified on the tire’s sidewall. If there is a difference between
air pressure listings on labels, warning stickers and tire sidewalls,
always defer to the tire sidewall air pressure listing.)
Always check the air pressure when the tires are cold. Tires heat up
and the air pressure increases after traveling short distances. For
safety and convenience, inflate tires to the air pressure indicated
on the sidewall of the tire, but always carry a spare wheel and tire in
case of unexpected or sudden issues with a tire.
When trailer tires become worn or damaged, replace them with new
tires. An authorized MasterCraft dealer can help you.
During times of storage, maintain the proper tire inflation, shield
tires from UV rays (direct sunlight), and relieve the load on the tires
by supporting the trailer frame with concrete blocks or jack stands.
Keep tires properly inflated. Inspect each tire’s pressure before
each use. Refer to the tire sidewall for proper inflation. Failure to
maintain the correct tire pressure may result in tire failure and
loss of control, which may result in serious injury or death and/or
property damage.
The tires that come equipped on the MasterCraft trailer were
selected for durability as well as comfort and are matched to the
trailer’s specifications. Over time, as with all tires, there will be wear
and eventually replacement will be necessary. At that time, do not
mix radial and bias tires because it may affect the trailer/tow vehicle
