We travel east on intrestate 78.its a major highway,,tonight a pickup pulling a little trailer with a quad on it passed us,He was doing I would guess st least 80 mph,passed us ,and stayed right in the fast lane as far as we could see him. The trailer was tiny,the quad just fit on it.The trailer had what I Call wheelbarrow tires on it,(the size), The tonge and hitch was at an angle ,and one taillight was out on the back. In front of us we watched in amazement as this little trailer swayed back and fourth,,,,,scary situation,,,,

I see it too. If he was doing 80 think what that tire half the size was turning.

That reminds me of they guy going down 220 in NC. He was towing a dirt bike, it had some kind of makeshift plywood thing on the bumper or hitch with the front wheel in it, the rear wheel bouncing on the pavement. Two nylon straps tied the handlebars to the rear stake pockets. At 60 MPH, no less.

That's probably why he was going so fast. Wanted to get where he was going before anything went wrong. lol

Those small tires should have info on the tire that it is rated for a certain weight at a low speed. Increase either and the ratings go out the window - and void any manufacturer's liability!.

When I searched for small tires for snow plows; I couldn't find any that could handle the plow weight at over 15 mph.

I can't believe those tires did not blow out-in fact I thought that is where the story was going!Mark
