Safely on the road

Your trailer’s tires are the only point of contact with the road, making them crucial for a safe drive — especially when the road is slippery. Regularly check your tires for wear and tear:

• Are there any cracks in the sidewalls?
• Is the tread depth sufficient (at least 1.6 mm, but deeper is better in winter)?
• Is the tire pressure correct? Regularly checking your tire pressure ensures better grip and stability on the road.

👉 Tip: If you frequently use your trailer in winter, consider installing winter tires. Planning to drive in snowy or icy conditions? Snow chains can provide extra grip. Check with a SARIS dealer for the best options.

Road salt is often used to prevent icy roads in winter, but it can damage your trailer’s zinc coating and cause unsightly black or white stains. While salt won’t harm the protective zinc layer directly, regular cleaning is key:

• Rinse your trailer with water after every trip to remove salt and dirt.
• Use a soft brush and mild detergent to tackle stubborn dirt.
• Dry your trailer thoroughly to prevent corrosion.
