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...

Wide and tall to get better flotation .. over sand.

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
