Plant trailer tyre size

[william127]

My ifor williams gh106 is currently on the 13 inch rims pictured, they're not the best and get a lot of punctres/bent rims, mainly because it's so wide they're on the broken edges of country lanes. 

Is there any reason I can't switch to the 12s pictured, as used on my lm146 among many others?  They physically fit fine and the weight rating is fine.

Thanks

The 12” has a slightly (4cm) bigger circumference 

 

can’t see it being a problem though

If you’re gonna switch, for the reasons outlined, switch to these. You can get them prebuilt onto rims too.

Is the correct answer! 
We’ve had all types of tyres on trailers and these Saveros are far and away the best from a hard-wearing and resilient perspective.

(When fitting make sure the thicker wall is fitted to the outside - I’ve bought them built up onto rims before now and some were mounted backwards - it’ll make sense if you look at a tyre).

That would be ideal, I have these on my gx9x4hd, tried one on the 10x6 yesterday, but  looked very close to a bolt head by the spring and that was with the no load on. 

 

I will speak to the dealer that supplied the 9x4 when they reopen next week, they were very helpful with that trailer and the options- they basically built a standard to heavy duty spec for me, due to ifors ridiculous lead time for a HD, just so it could have these big Tyres on it. I was impressed with the service/can do attitude.

 

Speaking of tyres, I dropped off 9 wheel and tyre combinations for punctre repairs this morning,  if they're all salvageable I'll have tyres coming out my ears😅😅👍

Ifor williams switched about with tyre and  size for years why the hell they never stuck to one size on all there flat, tipper and plant trailers. 

My 12x6 drop side has had no end of punctures and always right on the edge of tread. Last week got one which was a very small stone like a sharks touth.

Are the wheels a different offset? Try fitting one of the Savero tyres to one of your existing 13’’ wheels fitted to that trailer and see if it moves the tyre away from the bolt head.

Or take a crap wheel and put it on the savero trailer and see if it sticks out
