With all the post about the "Cheap New Tires" that all trailer builders are putting on equipment, why not buy good LT 10 Ply yourself and have them mounted/balances on the new rims at your expense?
I am sure a trailer dealer would deduct at least the cost of a new spare ($125) X 4 and sell you a trailer 'Tireless' without a wheel/tire warranty.
Most new trailer service tires are about $100 on line and I am sure dealers pay less for bulk sales. I would be OK with a $75 deduct for tires and furnish my own.
Good rims are about $40-$50 and lug nuts are about a buck each.
When I buy, Good LT tires on their rim or mine, doesn't matter which, is the way it will be or no sale.
BTW- looking at Kaufman( BBB rating 'F'- non member), Betterbuilt and Southern trailers, the latter 2 are local to me.
Any thoughts on my plan??
