Best place for trailer tires
 
I got to pulling my "new" trailer home the other day and realized that I will need new tires before I put any weight on it. What is the best place at a decent price? I will be looking for the 15" variety.

do yourself a favor and spend the money on actual trailer tires not car tires on a trailer and give me a size and i will call my supplier and let you know

Looking for 205/75/15

Left a msg on your shop phone. PM me if you need my ph# again. Looking to buy tonight-tomorrow. If your price is in the ball park, I can drop off the trailer later tonight

Scott A. Thanks

Scott P. The trailer is a tandem axle single wheel 5 lug. I'll probably scrounge around for a spare rim sometime after WV.

I said the same thing last year and needed one while in WV. My 6 lug will work then in a pinch as it will just have an extra hole with no stud. It will fit.

Scott A.

Trailer is behind your shop at the edge of pavement. I think that you will see that it NEEDS tires bad. Just don't laugh yourself silly when you see them. I'll head your way with $ about 11 tomorrow.

Kudos to Scott A.

Saved me about $50-$80 on better tires than I would have gotten elsewhere

:D

The trailer tows sweet once again.

Ever seen National Lampoons Vacation episode where the Griswalds are driving the green station wagon away from the gas station after jumping it in the desert and the tires were wobbling? I bet I could get 3 of the studs to fit barely! :eek:

Well, you are a machinist.

Thread jack, but where and when for WV? I'm from there and wouldn't mind doing some wheeling some place other than my uncle's farm.
