Thanks. The tires show some cracking. I'm replacing them more because of
age. Good point about the brakes. I heard surge brakes are legal only on
boat trailers. Do you know anything about that? Also, I am looking for
brand
name recommendations.
Been there done that with our boat trailer, doing that again with our
jetski trailer. Tread's great, sidewalls cracking. Once they start
cracking, replacement is not far away.
A lot of the trailer laws vary from state to state. *You don't really
want anything other than surge brakes for a boat trailer.* If you're
handy and plan on installing them yourself these guys have everything
you need and it's a very good company to deal with.

It's not all that hard to do.
Surge brakes (vs electric) are even more important if the trailer will be
dunked into salt water.
Around here, they try to avoid brakes (if possible) due to corrosion
problems.
Good point.
