[QUOTE="el_cheapo, post: 463582, member: 20910"] I have a 14' semi v that was on those little 8 inch tires and I blew out about 3 a season. Roads are **** in my area especially trying to get in the backwater/small lakes down gravel roads. There are pot holes more than 8 inches deep those little tires just couldn't take it especially not if you were trying to travel over 10 miles an hour. Ended up buying a junky old fiberglass boat, throwing it on the brush pile and keeping the motor and trailer. Trailer has 13 inch rims not sure tire diameter but it's close to my truck tires, and has a 3500 pound axle. Overkill for my little boat but now I can travel with the motor down and not worry about hitting anything, glide over pot holes reasonably easily (still gotta go easy on some) and haven't had a blow out since. Life is much easier. Also once i do end up changing these tires I should be able to without the 4 way hitting the ground every rotation. [/QUOTE]
