A New Truck Tire and Wheel for Dad This Christmas

If your dad is like most good fathers, he's the first to get in his truck and hitch the trailer to help you do anything you need. Whether it's moving or letting you use the trailer in a parade, he's glad to do it because he's a great dad. So how can you show your appreciation?

You can start by buying him a brand new trailer tire and wheel for that one tire that looks a little low. They're actually pretty affordable, so this gift will be easy. You can visit a dealer in person or you can buy online. You'd be surprised at how affordable trailer tires and rims can be online versus at a brick and mortar store. Here are some tips to consider:
  • For starters, make sure you know the size of trailer tire and wheel you'll need. Standard sizes are 12 and 13 inch, 14 and 15 inch, 8 and 10 inches, and 16 inch.
  • Then figure out what metal or finish the existing trailer tires and rims are. They could be aluminum, chrome, galvanized metal, and a few others.
  • Then decide if you want to buy the tire wheel assembly or a tire by itself. A tire by itself maybe slightly cheaper, but it will not look like a finished product.
These tips should get you started. Once you've made your purchase and the trailer tire and wheel have arrived, go all out and install it yourself. Put a bow on the new tire and surprise dad on Christmas morning.
