Reply to: New tires for trailer - short and fat or tall and skinny?

[quote=rattlenhum]I have local mast up storage but trailer 2500+ miles a year for regattas/vacations. My Steelco trailer is heavy...it came with the fat 10" tires, and I did not like them. They seemed to wear funny, giving a rough ride, and the extra width seemed to be of little benefit (if any) when moving the rig by hand in the sand. I switched to the 4.80-12s and am much happier with them. Actually had no problems back when I ran 4.80-8s on older boats, but I'm sure my hubs are happier! I know some of the Hobie road warriors use the 13s/14s (that can be balanced like a "real" tire), but that would just be overkill/extra expense for me. Wouldn't even have a good place to put the spare.[/quote]
