I'm separated from my trailer by several hundred km, but I have the

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??

The reason Toyotas don't sway is they are not being towed. Trailers stop
swaying and go straight after they break loose from the tow vehicle, too.

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..........


Do you tow the trailer with any vehicle besides that huge motorhome? If
not, your experience may not be applicable to Ted's situation.

How did you compare the ride of the Wal-Mart tires to other tires? I'm
imagining you sitting in the glider, in the trailer, as a dedicated crew
person tows the trailer up and down a bumpy Interstate, trying a
different set of tires every 30 minutes, but that's probably too dramatic.
