A flat on a trailer tandem rarely announces itself. The driver finds it at the dock, the yard jockey spots it during a move, or the tire comes apart on the interstate and leaves rubber across the lane. Either way, the load sits until someone fixes it. Tire Installation LLC provides Trailer Tire Service in Memphis TN that comes to the trailer, so you are not paying for a tow to get a single tire changed.
We work on dry vans, reefers, flatbeds, and intermodal chassis parked at yards, docks, warehouses, and roadside. Our techs bring commercial tires, heavy-wheel tools, and safety gear, and they check the whole wheel end while they are there. After more than 30 years in business, we know that a trailer tire problem is usually a scheduling problem too. You get a free estimate, upfront pricing, and photo proof of the finished work so dispatch knows exactly when the unit is ready to hook.
What you get right away
- On-site trailer tire changes at yards, docks, and roadside
- Dual tire matching so both tires on an end carry the load
- Valve stem, hub, and wheel checks while the wheel is off
- Scheduled yard checks for trailer pools and drop lots
Trailer Tire Service in Memphis TN for Every Trailer Type
Trailers sit in drop lots for days, get pulled by whichever driver is available, and often run until a tire gives out. Each trailer type also wears tires in its own way, so our techs adjust what they look for.
Dry Vans
Dry vans move through tight dock aprons and city streets, which means curb strikes and sidewall scuffs. We check sidewalls closely and look for cuts that can turn into blowouts under a full load.
Reefers
Temperature-controlled freight cannot wait long. We get the tire changed so the unit can move, then check the rest of the tandem so you are not calling again tomorrow.
Flatbeds
Steel, lumber, and machinery put concentrated weight on individual tires, so we pay close attention to load range and inflation on every replacement.
Intermodal Chassis
Chassis pools see heavy use from many different drivers, and maintenance history can be hard to track. We handle chassis tire changes at rail yards, container lots, and warehouses so a flat does not hold up a container pickup.
Dual Tire Matching and Wheel-End Checks
Most trailer axles run dual tires. When the two tires on one end are mismatched in size or tread depth, the taller tire carries more of the weight. It runs hotter and wears faster, while the shorter tire scrubs and drags. Mismatched duals are one of the most common reasons a trailer tire fails early.
When we replace a trailer tire, we measure the partner tire and choose a replacement that matches it closely in size and tread depth. If the partner is already worn or damaged, we tell you so you can decide whether to replace both now or plan it for later.
What We Check at the Wheel End
- Valve stems and caps for cracks, leaks, and missing caps
- Wheel condition, including cracks around hand holes and stud holes
- Hub seals for signs of oil or grease leaking onto the wheel
- Lug nuts torqued to spec and rechecked after mounting
- Inflation set for the position and the load
- Tread and sidewall condition on the remaining tires
A leaking hub seal or loose wheel is worth catching before the next trip. We point out what we see and show you photos, and we handle simple fixes on the spot when the parts and conditions allow. If a problem needs shop equipment, such as bearing work or axle alignment, we explain that plainly instead of guessing roadside. For air leaks found in trailer lines or gladhands, our air hose repair service can often handle the fix during the same visit.
Trailer Yard Checks and Roadside Trailer Tire Changes
If you run a trailer pool or drop lot, scheduled Trailer Tire Service in Memphis TN is often cheaper than waiting for failures. Our techs walk the lot, check each unit, and flag tires that need attention before a driver hooks up.
How a Yard Check Works
- You tell us the location, the number of units, and when the lot is accessible
- We check inflation, tread depth, sidewalls, valve stems, and obvious wheel-end problems
- Low tires are aired up and flats are changed or scheduled with your approval
- You receive photo notes by unit number for your records
Fleets that want this on a regular schedule can pair it with our fleet tire management program, which adds tracking over time.
Roadside Trailer Tire Changes
When a trailer tire fails on I-40, I-55, or I-240, we bring a replacement and swap it where it is safe to work. We set up cones and lighting and check the partner tire for heat damage. For breakdowns that involve more than a tire, see our emergency roadside assistance page.

Photo Proof of Work
Every job ends with photos of the finished tire and wheel end. You can forward them to dispatch, the trailer owner, or your records without chasing the tech for details. When a problem needs more work later, the photos show exactly what we saw and where the trailer stood at the time.
Free Estimates
Before we start, you get a free estimate based on the tire size, trailer type, and location. Pricing is upfront, so you can approve the job quickly and know the cost before any work begins. If something else turns up, we stop and explain it before adding anything to the bill.
Text Appointment Alerts
Book online or by phone and get text alerts about your appointment. Drivers and yard managers know when the tech is coming without making extra calls. If plans change, rescheduling is easy, and same-day bookings are available when the schedule allows it. You keep dispatch updated without extra back-and-forth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Most of our trailer work happens at yards, docks, warehouses, and distribution centers around Memphis. Tell us the location, trailer number, tire size, and position, and let us know about any gate or check-in rules. Our tech arrives with a replacement and tools, so the trailer does not need to be moved to a shop to get rolling again.
Dual tires share the load on one end of an axle. If one tire is taller or has more tread than its partner, it carries more of the weight and runs hotter, while the other scrubs. That uneven load shortens the life of both tires and raises the chance of a failure. We match replacements closely to the partner tire to prevent that.
Yes. We handle tire changes and checks on intermodal chassis at container lots, rail-served yards, and warehouses around Memphis. Chassis often see many drivers and uneven maintenance, so we check the other tires and the wheel end while we are there. You get photo notes that help you report the condition to the chassis owner if needed.
Our regular hours are Monday through Sunday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. If your trailer has a problem outside those hours, call us at (866) 998-4737. We answer when we can and will tell you honestly whether we can reach you tonight or set the first available time the next morning. Either way, you get clear pricing before we commit.
Trailers that sit for days can lose air without anyone noticing. Many fleets check pressure before each dispatch and schedule a full yard walk on a regular cycle that fits their volume. We can set up a recurring yard check at your lot and adjust how often we come based on what we find over the first few visits.
