I just bought a very small trailer to use behind my ATV for farm use. Low
speed. It has 4.00/4.80-8 tires on it. They are a little dryrotted.
Would
you get some tubes and put them in there, or just get new tires and use
them
tubeless? Trouble I have with tubeless tires is half the time they're
flat,
and they can be a booger to seat the bead. I put some Slime in there, and
once they seal, they're pretty good to go. My local tire place would
probably put the new tubes in there for the price of the tubes. I do
business with them, and they usually do flat fixes for free anyway.

The last time I needed tires for my boat trailer it was cheaper to buy
a tire and wheel from a trailer place than buying a tire and getting
it mounted. Even Northern Tools beats that tire/mount price and we
have a trailer manufacturer who beats NT.

I live in a small community where good deals are a way to keep customers. I
go to Discount tires because they have fixed about half a dozen flats for
me, and some small ATV remounts where they wouldn't seal, and they just wave
you off when you go to pay. Of course, I go back when I need tires, and
they have that on record.

I have to go to the big city in the next couple of days, so will take one
and see. But yeah, it'd be nice to just put two new ones on there, but at
the lowest cost. I just use this to haul junk, rocks, limbs, sand, etc, so
it doesn't have to be that great.
