Title: Tires on a boat trailer???????????
Post by: rugman on October 29, 2008, 07:25:32 AM
How many of you guys take your tires off the trailer when parking it for the winter? Do you think it is a good thing to do? ???

Take them off. It serves two purposes. Keeps the tires out of the sun and keeps the theifs away from towing the trailer.  TT^

 I leave them on. I have seen some people jack them up off the ground. I dont know if anything extends the life of a tire. I would think most trailer tires are probably replaced because of age not wear.

i leave them on, but I do soak them in Armoral which will help prevent cracking.
