Do I need a spare wheel for my boat trailer?
Wondering if you need a spare wheel for your boat trailer? The short answer is yes! If you’re concerned about having your spare wheel pinched from your boat trailer while you’re out on the water, or getting caught with a flat tyre on your boat trailer then we recommend buying a galvanised multi-fit wheel and keeping it in the boot of your car.
Whether you are down at your local boat ramp or heading off on a longer trip away, a spare wheel safely stored in your car will give you piece of mind. These boat trailer spare wheels all have a galvanised rim and with both the Ford and Holden stud pattern incorporated on the one rim. As an added bonus, multi-fit spare wheels can be used across any range of trailers, not just boat trailers.
To easily find the correct tyre size you can look at the writing on your existing trailer tyres – or we can help you find the best tyre size for your trailer. Even if you don't get the exact tyre size it doesn't matter because as long as the rim size matches then, like a smaller spare wheel in newer cars, it will always get you home.
