After a long run, carefully compare tire/hub heat side to side. Uneven heat is a stop signal.
Tires, heat, and load
Trailer tires fail from age and overload as often as from bald tread. Texas heat accelerates rubber aging in outdoor storage.
- Read the DOT week/year code
- Confirm load rating vs ready-to-tow weight
- Set pressure cold for loaded trips
- Carry a matching spare and tools that fit your lug pattern

Ready-to-tow weight checklist
- Boat dry weight is not enough — add motor, battery, fuel, cooler, and wet gear
- Leave capacity margin; highway heat and rough ramps punish edge-case loads
- Confirm bunk or roller contact matches your hull shape
- Match hitch class and ball size before the first tow
