Tip: if you are going to store them in a trailer box, just use regular pine, not pressure treated. IF your pressure treated wood gets wet, the salt treatment will leak out of the wood and corrode the inside of the aluminum trailer box. Ask me how I know that. |
It is a heavy pain the ass but if towing any distance I throw a floor jack in the back of the Yukon. Works for the tow vehicle and the boat trailer.

Padraig A buddy rolled his F150 Extended Cab work truck with his tools in the back seat. The sawzall in a case damn near cracked his skull. FWIW, umbrellas in the back window have killed people in an accident before. |

Yeah, don’t do that in an SUV unless you have it ratchet strapped down. In a rollover, the ceiling will keep it in, and it could kill your whole family; same goes for a diving abrupt stop. /QUOTE] Good point. I fasten it with bungee cords but will now devise a more secure method using straps. Thanks, Padraig |

Try it in your driveway. You have to lift it high enough to get an INFLATED tire off the ground anyway, since you have to get an inflated tire back on there.

Flats come in multiples because they are abused the same way. Then when one goes, the second one close by gets over-stressed and exits the building too.
1) Cover your tires when not in use, and not parked indoors. BEST covers on the market IMHO and IME: I have at least 20 of them, over all the trailer tires AND the spare tires. 2) Don't park on dirt/grass, as it wicks moisture into (lower part of) the tires and things just go south from there. Concrete or pavement best. Gravel second, And if it has too be on dirt or grass, get them elevated onto 2x12s or something, and you can even go so far as to put shingles, teflon sheets, or plastic over the wood. |
