    Ya know a couple braces between the frame rails on the trailer and a rachet strap eliminates the problem of finding tires.

    Yeah, however I'm heavy enough as is. I can't even haul the magical 48k as is. I need to be lighter, not heavier. Besides, if I start carrying every item that I'm having a hard time locating these days, I won't have any room for cargo.

    Interesting that your having trouble finding tires.
    Have 11R/22.5s, both suppliers have plenty in stock from several brands. Using 255/70/22.5 on trailer. For some reason those are hard to find outside my supplier.

    I want to, because I have lost loads over it. Not to mention I believe things are going to be getting much harder in general and I think it would be beneficial to be more competitive.........not less.......imo.

    That's just what I've been told by a couple hands that run 11Rs. Mine are 295/75/22.5, very common and I only had an issue once with the brand I wanted being out of stock.
