^^^^Agreed. Have someone make a tight turn with your trailer and watch the tire sidewalls on the inside of the turn as they scuff to make the turn, they are under considerable stress.

The rest of my story...when I had my blowout (2nd post in this thread) I installed my spare, and of course it was out of date, the spare blew out within 25 miles...now I'm in the middle of AZ pulled off in a ranchers driveway/turnout with a flat and no spare. I had to jack the trailer back up, pull the now flat spare, drop the trailer, drive 75 miles to Prescott, buy two new tires, back track 75 miles, put the new tire on, hook the trailer back up and then proceed with my "vacation".

Long story short, $150 worth of prevention (good spare, not one that just "holds air") would have prevented 5 hours of cure!
