Trailer Tires
 
Any recommendations for a place to get tires. I don't need the rims I just want the tires, rims are fine. Every place I have tried want to sell me the rims too.

Macojoe just got a good deal on just the tires at Cape and Island Tires in Wareham. Drop him a PM and he can tell you the exact price/tire.

ProfessorM 04-25-2008 06:59 PM

Professor......I just found out I am also in the market for tires. (or tire)

Went to the boat today to find one tire flat to the point the bead seal is gone. The tire looks cracked too. :fury: I'm guessing its junk.

I just need to get into the water, cause I'm in a slip anyway. I'm hopin I can get by with used one for this season. I think its new trailer time so i don't want to put much $$ into this old rust bucket. Its a 1995 so 14 seasons ain't too bad.

Great service from these guys. ~$70 shipped for those tires. No tax.

i have bought tires & rims from them and they are great. if you have any questions they are very helpful and knowledgeable.

A lot easier to click and have them delivered to your door.

Only problem is if you by a loose tire you have to take the old one off, mount the new one, and dispose of the old one, which can be a turn off for some....

Last year ended a trip putting 2 plugs in 1 hole to get home.
Replaced the tire this year at VIP. Guy had the tire. It was about $80 but that was with a road hasard

ah what the L, prior to tonight I thought this thread didn't have tread.

Blew out a tire(14)tonight, universal spare didn't fit, stuck on the side of the road in front of a liquor store, got to watch a fight break out:rolleyes:, lucky my buddie lives near by so he let me keep it in his drive way.
I luv shopping for tires instead of electronics

There are worse places to be broken down than in front of a liquor store. I'll bet you didn't have your video camera to capture the "entertainment" either.

First trailer flat I got was on the Sagamore bridge "Saturday" "8am", end of "July" taking the family on vacation. Hows that for a breakdown location.!!!!!!!!!:af::af: To tell the rest of that story would require an entirely new thread.
