Horse Trailer Tire Service
Mobile horse trailer tire service — pre-show inspections, on-site replacement, and roadside help across Central Florida. Animal safety is the priority.
You're loading horses for a show in Ocala and notice a rear tire with a bubble. That's not a tire you run on. We come to the barn, the show grounds, or the roadside — wherever you are. Slant-load and straight-load trailers both come through us regularly. We stock ST235/80R16 and ST225/75R15 for most two-horse and four-horse trailers. Beyond the size, we check all tires for dry rot and look at DOT date codes — a 7-year-old trailer tire with decent tread is still a 7-year-old tire, and horses don't deserve the risk.

Calls We Get Every Week
Barn flat morning of a show
You're loading two horses for a Ocala show when you spot a bubble on the right rear. We come to the barn, swap the ST235/80R16, and you're on US-27 inside two hours.
Roadside flat with horses in the trailer
Your four-horse slant-load breaks down on US-1 near Oak Hill with all four horses loaded. We prioritize the call, respond quickly, and handle the swap efficiently so the horses aren't in a hot trailer on the shoulder any longer than necessary.
Pre-season inspection at the equestrian center
A riding facility is getting their two horse trailers road-ready before show season starts. We check all eight tires for dry rot, identify three that are past their DOT date, and replace them on-site.
Common Horse Trailer Tires Questions
What tire sizes do most horse trailers use?
Two-horse and four-horse bumper-pull trailers typically run ST235/80R16 or ST225/75R15. Larger gooseneck horse trailers may run 235/85R16 G-range. We stock the common sizes.
Do you respond to roadside horse trailer flats?
Yes. We understand that a flat with horses in the trailer is a stressful situation. We treat these calls as time-sensitive and respond as quickly as possible. We work calmly and efficiently around the animals.
How often should horse trailer tires be replaced?
At most every 5–6 years in Florida's climate, regardless of tread. Horse trailers often sit for extended periods, which accelerates dry rot. Before any show season or long haul, the tires should be inspected.
Can you inspect horse trailer tires at a show ground or equestrian center?
Yes. We come to your location — barn, show grounds, equestrian center, or roadside. We check tread, sidewall condition, and DOT date codes on all tires.
What's the difference between a 6-ply and 10-ply trailer tire for horse trailers?
The ply rating (now called load range) indicates how much load the tire can carry. Most horse trailers run C or D load range for lighter units, E range for heavier ones. We match the correct load range to your trailer's GVWR.
