Those tires and axles where used and used again and again but yep common to blow a tire when going hwy speeds. I us to be able to pick up those tires cheap but then it was because I was in the line of work. There is a 15 inch rim made to fit those axles and low boy tires also in the 14.5 size. Of you can switch to a lug bolt type hub so you can use the better more common rims. [Reply]  [No Email]

I havent pulled the thing on the hyway in probably four or five years,but i'll be sure and check them before i drag it home. tires were all good then but I'll have to see how weathered they are now. I can borrow a trailer easy enough but i dont like to when i have a trailer we supposedly had built just for this.Six or seven trailers here not counting boat trailers and they all, like everything else ,need tires.

There are tires in 14.5 that are for utility trailers and are DOT rated. [Reply]  [No Email]
