[Land-speed] Tires for my Trailer

[Neil Albaugh]

How much weight are you towing, Mayf? Check the tire load rating to see if 
you are on the hairy edge or their ratings. My last trailer tires were 
purchased at Costco; they are Greenball tires but not on the race car 
trailer. They are on our MaxxLite 25' travel trailer.

Regards, Neil  Tucson, AZ
