thomastractorsvc Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 All of my tire woes came from the old tires that came on the trailer that due to budget cost I reused the best only (4) and a couple for spares. No blow outs with the 8 new ones although I did have a Chinese tube develop a leak and require a patch (thanks Superdog for the patch). I looked at changing to 17.5 but that cost was out of the question (over $100 for the rim ((could not find any used ones)) and tires were $245 each for double coins) I think I will maybe start looking on for some 17.5 but around here that size seems to be more difficult to locate than the 8.25 x 15s Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."
