Quick Checklist: Futura Trailer Tire Maintenance

Before Every Trip

• [ ] Use a pressure gauge: Check the pressure in every tire; never rely on just looking at them.

• [ ] Inflate to the correct PSI: Match the pressure to your owner's manual, tongue plate, or the "Max. Load" sidewall rating.

• [ ] Do a visual walk-around: Check the treads and sidewalls for cuts, bulges, or uneven wear.

• [ ] Check the valves: Ensure all valve stem caps are tightly secured.

When Loading & Driving

• [ ] Check your weight: Ensure your cargo does not exceed the trailer's designated load limit.

• [ ] Drive smoothly: Avoid sudden stops, aggressive starts, and sharp turns.

• [ ] Watch your speed: Stay within recommended speed limits to keep tires from overheating.

• [ ] Mind the gaps: Actively avoid curbs, deep potholes, and road debris.

Routine Maintenance & Replacement

• [ ] Rotate and balance: Do this periodically to ensure even wear, especially for dual-axle trailers.

• [ ] Consult a pro for uneven wear: Have your suspension and alignment checked if tires are wearing down unevenly.

• [ ] Match load ratings: Always replace old tires with ones that have the exact same load rating as the Futura originals.

During Off-Season Storage

• [ ] Park smart: Store the trailer in a cool, dry place.

• [ ] Cover them up: Put tire covers on to block harmful UV rays and harsh weather.
