It is not unusual for the police or VOSA to pay particular attention to recovery vehicles and cars that are towing a heavy load. Keeping the entire rig legal ie, no cracks in the windscreen, good tyres, working lights and clean condition will help.
When you combine the weight of the trailer and the vehicle upon it you will understand that car transporter tyres need to run at a higher pressure than standard car tyres. The tyres are normally commercial grade tyres running at up to 60 psi.
