Next Question. What is a good size tire to put on a 16 foot utility trailer? Dad has one with a bunch of stuff on it. It has special government tires on it that doesn't show size or anything. The trailer has sat for 10 years at a storage lot and the tires are shot.









I'm thinking a 225/75/15, does that sound about right?

He kept the wheels off his 1982 Dodge truck that he bought new and put them on the trailer, I did find that the OEM size with those wheels were 235/75/15.

 

If your not hauling max weight get the most affordable ones you can. I'd bet 99% of people will let them dry rot before they actually use them all up.

 

Yea, already made my mind up I'm going with p225/75/15 passenger tires. I've never had luck with ST rated tires, plus they recommend max speed of 65mph

Just checked discount and looks like it'll be around 280 for a complete set of tires. Not bad at all

 

 

Got around 4"-5" overnight got the snowblower out and was done in 15 minutes....got 4 more driveways to do


With all this power the Ariens has its almost unbelievable that I'm blowing snow in 4th and 5th gears

 

The girls lost in the first round of the league tournament....tough loss to the #8 seeded team....our team walked into the building and left their brains in the cars....they didn't do nothing right the first game....came back and got 5th

Make sure you go through the bearings and wiring too if it's been sitting for that long

 

The tires actually aired up, checked the dot number on the tires and there were made in 2002. That means the trailer has been parked since late 02 early 03. I was going to put new tires on it, unload the stuff and have a nice trailer but after looking at all the heavy stuff in it I'm just going to take it to my parents house and park it under the carport. It'll probably sit another 10 years there

Guess it beats dad having to pay 300 every 6 months at the storage lot.

Hopefully the tires will last the 6 mile trip.

 

 

Should be getting my Decked truck bed storage system this week. First time i have ever had to deal with a freight company. Its taken a week to get from Ohio to Texas and now its in town, but no clue when i will get it. They haven't called to set up a time for delivery or anything yet.
