I like these guys for trailer parts. They have a lot of stuff. I bought a
new torsion axel, tires, wheels and hubs. Everything came right to my door
with free shipping.

The wheels are almost free when you consider that you will be paying to
have the tire mounted. And you can keep your old wheels and tires for
spares, (if you have room in the trailer for the spares).

I got the high speed radials. They run great. I have towed them about 6000
miles and I don't see any tread wear. I have been up to 85 mph and no
problems. They also have bias ply tires too that are cheaper.

that price really doesn't seem that bad to me.

last year during our club free distance contest one contestants
trailer blew out BOTH tires. They were admittedly old tires. On the
second tire the crew unhooked the trailer and drove to the nearest
town where he found the local mechanic at home and got him to repair
the tire. Amazingly the crew got back on the road and was less than
an hour behind the glider when it landed. That guy deserved a gold
star for that effort.
