    Looking at purchasing a car hauler trailer, and came upon a trailer that seems to be a good deal, but the tires bother me. They look like little fat tires from some piece of equipment. The trailer is a 2004 Lawrimore Manufacturing, and the tires are 20.5x8-10. It is a deck-over trailer, and the seller says he bought it from the factory this way, and the small fat tires keep the height down. Will these tires hold up to the 7000 lb load? Here is a link to the pictures: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300152092796

    I've seen this style trailer before and have also questioned the tires ability, thats why I went with a standard utility trailer instead.

    How heavy is your K-10? Right now I have (2) 20'ers, one GM Idigo Blue in color, one black, and a 18'er in medium blue.All rated at 7,000GVWR. 82-83" wide deck (gives you maximum legal of 102" outside to outside), and electric brakes on rear axle. All rectangular tubing construction, extended tongue, breakaway kit, Bulldog coupler (2" ball)22" wide ramps that pull out of the back. Let me know if you need more info, or feel free to give me a shout. (702) 498-1368. Not quite sure if we have a person up your way or not handling these. Mark

    K10 is 3500 lbs. sounds like the trailer I have been looking for, 7k is perfect. I'm afraid to ask price though. my email is fire70304fighter at yahoo . com if you could shoot me a price, and how far I would have to drive to pick one up. thanks

    Hmm.... Nebraska isnt all that far away. Trailer brakes? How wide between fenders? Would the sides be included? How much are you looking to get for it?
