trailer tires

[mrob]

Buying a 2012 22 Bennington.  I have a 450mi haul back.  Original tires with maybe 200 miles on them.  Trailer was kept inside out of sun.  I figure tires are good.  Any thoughts?

Trailer tires are good for about three or four years regardless of tread.  Just got back from Cumberland and my neighbor lost two tires and had to leave their boat at a truckstop in Ky., third season.  I like the Maxxis M8008, got them on the camper and had them on my last boat.  I would have at least two spares if I made your trip.  Most are Chinese garbage.  Good luck.

they do last longer if you soak them with 303 aerospace protectant a few times a year!!!

Thanks.  Do you know what size and lug pattern the wheel might be on a 2012 roadrunner triton trailer?

No.  Go to etrailer.com and look up trailer tires, they have a good explanation in the tire description area.

If you know they are several years old. Replace them before you leave with the boat. You need good tires, anyway.

Agreed, get the tire size and find a tire shop where the boat is, order some tires, have them grease the hubs too.
