So I finally got a little 5x8 general purpose trailer for hauling around my 4 wheeler.
It isn't too burly (Carry on 5X8G - rated at 2000 total trailer weight - trailer weighs 325).
I've already decided to install my own planks (its expanded metal).
My question is this - with this trailer being pulled down some pretty rough roads (washboard/washout, large potholes, etc) would it be prudent to get a more robust, wider tire? The ones installed are 4.80x12.00 and look very....thin lol. A wider tire might be a better choice going down rough roads or is it even an issue that I should worry about?
Thanks!
