Both tires (single axle) are 'split' on the sidewalls, this must have happened over the winter, because of the cold and ice, as they were not in this condition last Fall.
Question.....I have to move the trailer about 2 miles, would it be safe in this condition?
Second question regarding replacement tires. which I have several options:
1. Replace with same Carlisle radial tires about $85 per tire
2. Trailer King Tires, radial and 10 plies (however I've seen many negative reviews about these tires. $75 Dealer (Can be purchased on Wal-Mart on-line for $60 with free delivery to house)
3. Pioneer brand, 8 ply Bias tires (non radial) - $60 per tire
I only trailer my boat about 2-3 miles from my house to a ramp on 'Winnie.
I never travel to other lakes or do long hauls.
Considering all the above, what are folks thoughts ? I'm thinking Option #2.
Again, please advise on my question....about moving the trailer about 2 miles, would it be safe in the current condition?
Thanks for your feedback !

What did you end up doing, and where did you go?
I'm looking for a place to bring my jetski trailer for new tires.
