John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Hi all, The time has come to get some new tyres for my BJ Minno trailer - 10 x 145 x 80. Does anyone know where I can buy this size cheaply on the net preferably in re-inforced 6 or 8 ply? I've tried www.mytyres.co.uk but they seem only to do ordinary car tyres which are 4 ply Thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananaman Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 John U tried http://www.indespension.co.uk/ not sure if they do postal deliveries but they have quite a few depots.... I'm going in there today for a new jokey wheel, if you want anything picking up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 Andy, Thanks for the offer. I've stripped my tyres off the wheels and binned them as they are now 7 years old and bald. I'm also having the wheels blasted and pianted whilst they are bare. Just looking for reasonably priced 8 ply tyres. I've found some on www.blackcircles.com for £35 each of an unheard of brand but thats not fitted and I was hoping for something of a better brand.

Buzz Billsberry Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 We don't do that size at Pirelli, I don't know of any of the main maufactures that do to be honest.I've just replaced my 13" wheels with extra load P3000 Pirelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Can't you use 145-70x10 tyres from a Mini? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Billsberry Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I think they're only 3 ply and wouldn't last long Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 So tyres for a 1 tonne Mini are of inferior quality than for tyres for a 1 tonne trailer? Can't get my head round that at all. The tyres for the Mini will be consstructed to travel at higher speeds and carry more weight. How can they possibly be of inferior construction? I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just surprised. I'm going to trawl the web... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott beeland Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Errr blatters. You do know that Buzz works in the tyre industry??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Yep. I also know that the National Trailer and Towing Association makes no mention not being able to use "normal" tyres, and there are no 8 ply tyres listed... Tyre spec here. Tyre ratings here. Not an 8 ply in sight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but do they say you can and would you risk it with your pride & joy on said trailer all for the sake of a few £ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterg Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I wouldn't use car tyres personally as proper 6 ply trailer tyres withstand the inevitable clouting over kerbs that they get when you have to take a sharp corner and don't have enough room to take a wide sweep and if you just rub along a kerb they don't puncture as easily.

Blatman Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 The NTTA web site appears to make no differentiation between car tyres or trailer specific tyres though. Or I'm reading it wrong. I'm NOT trying to start an argument, I'm just surprised that trailer tyres are apparently made to a superior specification than car tyres, which also have to stand up to hitting kerbs on top of going faster and carrying more weight. Can someone point me to some specifics where I can read about trailer tyre construction compared to car tyre construction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
