Hi all,
I have a small cheap utility trailer arriving today. Tires/wheels are 12" and rated only to 45 mph. I'd like to swap for 13" and take longer trips at highway speeds (65 mph). How practical is this? What pitfalls? I've seen info suggesting that the axle also must be replaced for high speeds. Not looking at increased loads, increased speeds are the quest.
I am not a mechanic, don't play one on TV, and didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night, so I need info from someone who knows more than me about the subject. That should be around 99.97% of the people on this forum...
If you've done something like this, please input! Thanks in advance!
Best -- Terry
