it is a plot to get us down to one vehicle and no trailers! LOL. I have a flatbed trailer that gets a car put on it and pulled a couple times a year. The tread on the tires will probably never wear out. Same with my travel trailer! Better to be safe than sorry though. DANG, with 2 2-ton trucks, 2 tandem axle trailers, and 3 other cars, I am going to be tire poor!
