I'm not sure if you're specifically referencing trailers only, but super singles suck in winter

I understand some people don’t like them. Ok fine.
Me I have no problem with them. -
I'm all about saving money so correct me if I'm wrong on this. -

That is a risk of the wide singles. They do need attention.
Should one go, yes your probably going to be sitting awhile. They are more common now than 15 years ago, so getting one from a shop is not like it was. That may be why i am such a fanatic about keeping an eye on tires in general.
A funny thing about tires, I actually got two large cans of Fix A Flat just as an emergency thing. Never used them. Ended up tossing them out. -
DSK333 Thanks this.

Now if i ran a different product where picking up screws and nails was not as common id probably be willing to give them a try.DSK333 Thanks this. -
DSK333, spyder7723 and Zeviander Thank this.

That trailer has spent a lot of time in Ontario or Illinois/Wisconsin (the frame has seen a ####-ton of road salt, and trust me, I see older trailers like this that run Ontario for years at my company). Unless you are planning on investing some serious cash into it for the long term, you might want to increase your standards and maybe save up a little more money. It almost looks like it might be worth more as scrap than a trailer at this point. Have you aired it up and tested the brakes? Does it pass inspection?
The frame alone is in pretty awful shape. What are you pulling it with? If your truck looks good, you are going to make it look awful dragging this bag of rust around.DSK333 Thanks this. -
