I'm separated from my trailer by several hundred km, but I have the
rim and what very little is left of the blown tire, and I need to know
what size the tire ... was. It's a 2008 trailer. Does Cobra make their
trailers all with the same size tires (for 15/18M ships anyway)? if so
does ne1 have the numbers handy?


many thanks

You ever see a Toyota swaying going down the road?? Go to Wal Mart,
Size 185/70R14. Forget all this BS about tires. Period. Mounted and
balanced about $45 or $50 each and I put 15,000 plus miles on my cobra
trailer tires ever year. These have been the best riding and wear by
far. You can take that to the bank.
Next Toyota you see swaying down the road, well, follow them, as its a
great party they are having and ask if you can join in..........


My 2003 Cobra has 175/70R14 tires. In the past there has been a ton
of discussion on r.a.s. about the finer points of this matter. I
recall comments about changes in tires and rims over the years. The
guys at the tire shop (WalMart or otherwise) should be able to fit a
tire based on the rim, but it might not match the profile on the other
side so best to check what's on the trailer - or call John Murray to
confirm whether there is a definitive size for your model year.
