trailer tires, big or small?

Post by j-top paj »

got 2 boat trailers and one has camrydoor tires on it and the other has these tiny little cheesecutters on it.

i had to drive onto the beach a couple weekends ago to get my boat out of the water and the little cheesecutters were a pain in the ass to tow of the beach :x
i have had the other trailer with the camrydoor tyres on a beach before and it wasnt a problem at all (same boat and same gear)


the question is, what would be better overall? wide, tall tires or small skinny tyres???
not thinking of just beach.. i mean whats the best over all? like highway driving etc...

those tiny tyres dont like hway spped due to heat build up, For your driving id say some tyres off a mclaren.

GO the dunnydore shiat, Thehn maybe 15 inch cdore rims and some 31's to suit for awesome flotation

yeh i felt them when i got of the freeway at heathcote and they were a bit warm.
i can just swap the hubs and tyres from the other trailer.
but the problem is i need to figure out how to cover the larger tyres
