Default Cobra Trailer Tires (US)

I'm in this game too -- trip to Uvalde coming up, cracks in the
sidewalls. Warning for others: two tire stores in a row have refused
to put car tires on a trailer, and there is no such thing as a 185 70
R 13 trailer tire.


But there is a 175/80 13 trailer tire. Slightly bigger diameter, but
that gets the back of the trailer a little higher, so you don't drag as
often.


Tirerack.com and local gas station here we come.

Note Cobra also has a new maintenance sheet on their website
emphasizing adjusting the brakes, inspecting the hub, and inspecting
the brakes and replacing the shoes occasionally. John Murray
encourages me to do this. Boy, it's going to be a fun weekend, but
better than a blowout halfway to Uvalde.
