Why this assembly stands out

With a galvanised rim, this Trojan wheel-tyre combo is engineered for longevity in coastal and outdoor environments where moisture and salt accelerate corrosion. The 4x4 centre bore ensures accurate hub fitment, reducing vibration and wear while simplifying mounting on compatible axles. The tyre’s 4-ply tread and 2-ply sidewall construction strike a practical balance between rigidity for load stability and flexibility to absorb minor road irregularities. The generous 90 psi cold inflation rating lets you tailor pressure to the exact trailer load for peak performance.

Ideal use cases

• Boat trailers exposed to damp, salty air and marine environments
• Landscaping or garden trailers navigating uneven or rough surfaces
• Utility trailers used for light-duty hauling at moderate speeds

Practical tips for best results

• Always set tire pressure when tyres are cold and match to the trailer’s rated load
• Torque wheel nuts to the axle manufacturer’s specification to prevent loosening
• Periodically inspect the galvanised rim for signs of corrosion or damage
• Ensure hub and axle compatibility with the 4x4 centre bore to maintain proper alignment and reduce wear
• Verify clearance and mounting compatibility before long trips to ensure safe operation up to 100 km/h
