Trailer Tires ( I Need New Ones)

[Trolling For Walleye]

i need to get 4 new trailer tires (don't have to be nice ones - i don't drive my trailer very much at all - but my current tires are over 10 years old and shot)

where can i get these, and what should i expect to pay?

any recommendations?

If you are from around Shell Knob I would suggest that you go to Hill Country Tire in Viola and talk to Steve. He runs the tire shop out of his house right before the turn in Viola as you go south on 39.

The place Pour Dennis has mentioned is the nearest tire place to any storage place there in Shell Knob. It is located about 3 miles south of the Shell Knob bridge.

Just a tip or suggestion to save you some $$ in the future.

My five trailer tires are going on 11 years old but thanks to an annual application of Armor All or any UV spray-on protectant like Armor All or Turtle Wax type product ( like you use on vinyl car interiors ) the tires are in really good shape with no signs of sidewall cracking or dry rot. Same stuff helps on rubber rollers etc. on trailers and rubber door seals on cars etc. Just make sure on the label of whatever you try it specifically says it contains a UV protectant. Be sure and spray both fronts and backs of sidewalls and even the tread and let it soak, don't wipe it off like the directions say to do. It penetrates better that way and lasts longer. Just don't get it on your rotors if your trailer has disc brakes.

thanks! my trailer is in dry storage so it very rarely even sees the light of day.

my tires are probably 15-20 years old.. they still work but i'd rather just get new ones now than after i have a blowout

Speaking of dry storage - does anyone have any tips for keeping rodents and insects (ants) out of your boat?

i had problems with both last year

TFW: Mothballs, at least thats what I've read in the past. Of course, they smell so bad they may just keep you out too!! As far as ants, don't know what to tell ya, maybe try an anteater
