I had some troubles with trailer tires so I started carrying 2 spares.
Fortunately the 4 hole wheels for my little snowmobile trailer are cheap. One
time I bought a new tire and rim, the next time I went and asked for another
tire and rim. They claimed they couldn't get another tire and rim combo any
more and proceeded to try to sell me my old wheel that they had said was "no
good" because of a dent. I questioned him on the dent and he said "oh we put
some sealant in, its fine." I explained how he was selling me my wheel again
and got the tire/wheel for free. Had them dismount it (they were pissed about
that) borrowed their hammer and beat the dent out) then had them remount the
tire. Still on my trailer several years later but I see it has some weather
checking so it probably needs replacement.
Since then I've started going to a different tire place that I like better.

Yea, thats what Im planning to do unless I cant find a real tire place
open tomorrow. I bought a new trailer wheel to mount a spare tire to,
first one arrived, wrong size. Next one arrived friday, wrong size
again. Hopefully this one will be right. Sure miss the days when the
corner service station had a tire machine etc
