Make sure they have a place to work on the trailer, drop it, go shopping at the places you don't have at home, eat out at a place you don't have then go back, get the trailer and go back home. Works for us.
From your post it sounds that you need to get those new tires right away so take some time to make plans to be sure you get it done. Not doing so could really ruin a persons day if you tried to continue using the ones you have.

Plans are in the works. I have 2-1/2 weeks til the next trip. I passed a place I had looked up previously the other day coming home. I checked it out, they have a large lot and lots of trucks and truck tires, so I think they might be prepared to handle my trailer. They have very good reviews too, both from locals and travelers on the Interstate nearby, some being RVers. I want to see if they will come close to Wmarts price and if so I'll let them get them, otherwise I'll see if they will put them on if I get them elsewhere. I can find lots of stuff to kill time where they are, so no problem there.

One more question, do I need those special Ford valve stems talked about in a recent thread for my Sendell wheels? The wheels came with metal stems which I understand can be reused (metal not rubber) or if I'm going to a place that looks like they cater a lot to trucks should I assume (yes, I know, Never assume anything) that they will have the proper stems? If I need to order where's a good place? I can't locate that thread.
Wmart price is only $2 more for the 12 ply F over the 10 ply E it looks like. According to the Sendell site my wheels are rated to 110 psi.

The valve stems you are looking for are Ford part # N-1600. If you are dealing with a truck tire shop they would have something similar that is quality. JMO

Just a quick update. Thanks for all the help. The rims and tires arrived last week. I had only the spare mounted in case I had clearance issues. I put it on the trailer today and it fits nicely. On the left is the new 225 75 R15 D and on the right the original 205 75 R14 C. Now I can go ahead and mount the other 4 on the new aluminum rims.

Looks good. I'm still waiting on the arrival of mine at my local DT. I'm happy to see they fit without issues.

Update. I put the rims and tires on. Washed them, sprayed with Aerospace 303, and covered them. They fit well!

Thanks. I found a place online and ordered them. Less than $3 each. Shipping was a much as the stems. But I have them now just in case. Tires on the way and go on next week.
