Hi,just been given a hifo williams trailer 505 hunter about 9 years old,its need 4 new tyres because its not been use for 4 years,the tyres ar not worn but the rubber looks cracked,its got a allo floor and rubber matting how much for 4 new tyres the spare is brand new with a wheel cover on,alos how much for servis,lights and brakes ar all working
 
About £100 for a service, I think the tyres now are about £50 each. They are special reinforced wall or something like that tyres, specially for heavy weight carrying trailers. Not standard car tyres. Shop around your tyre dealers for the best price.
 
the tyres are the same as used for caravans and most good tyre dealers wil be able to get hold of them but will have to order them as they're not standard stock. I bought some a couple of years ago for my old 505 and they were about £40 each.
i'd go to an independent tyre dealer tho not one of the big national ones.
My local Ifor dealer charges about £50 for a basic service (but that was for a first service on a new 510) but overall cost will depend on what needs doing- wheel bearings and brakes may need some attention if it's been stood for a long time.
 
I just paid our local IW dealer £50 for a basic service, this was on a trailer about 7 years old. Included lights, brakes etc and a check on the floor, although it is aluminium I am still paranoid.

We've just paid £500 for a service on a trailer - needed all new brakes system. It had been used a lot - like 3 days a week but just in case yours has sat for a while it's hopefully not going to be a drastic shock if it needs a bit of work.
 
Pleased you said that JP. I work for the family business selling/fitting tyres and more often than not independants are cheaper than nationals (not just us but Dad's tyre mates around the region too).

OP: Make sure you get the right tyres. It can be tempting to put something cheaper on that you think will do the job but it really is the wrong thing to do. Not only will they not last but you will find that your insurance is invalid if you are not using correct equipment. This is the case with all vehicles, not just trailers.
