    I wear a full length jacket with gloves and a mask so it's not too bad but if you want to come over and flip this beast for me, have at it Getting it flipped over would take alot longer than welding the few spots underneath that I had to get to.

    Picked up some different wheels with almost new tires yesterday, debating if i should run centercaps:

    Rolled up next to trailer:


    Tire tread:


    Installed:






    Same basic design as the other ones I bought but these are 14" and had amazing tires. I'm selling the other rims without tires for the same as I paid for all 4 of these! The tires are rated at 1819lbs per tire with the same ply count as the 2 Maxxis trailer tires currently on there (which are rated at 1820lbs per tire). I talked with a trailer manufacturer and they said it's safe to run truck/car tires but to subtract 20% off the total load carrying capacity of all the tires and that should be your max total load with trailer and cargo to be safe. The Passport will be a few hundred pounds below max using this theory and when I haul our car projects (all will be about 3500lbs or less) it will be well below. I will get some Goodyear trailer tires for it eventually but I think these will work out nicely for a little while, especially with the short trips the trailer will see right now.
