One extra thing to save on both Tire and Bearing wear is to go have all 3 tires (spare included) balanced. Why? Cause (as I told the dude at the tire store in my best Ron White voice when I took mine in ) "Because the same Laws of Physics apply...." This after he told me "That he ain’t never had anybody balance their boat trailer tires before " I then told him "Well buddy, you won't see mine on the side of the road from early bearing failure and if it does, I have a spare mounted locked on a false axle with a complete hub and bearing set on my trailer just in case just like Cincinnati does


Personally (looking back), I don't think the dude behind the counter knew much about "The Laws of Physics " But that is a different story altogether... Your tow though will be a lot smoother and you will have a lot less tire hop thus saving on wear both for the tire and less pull on the bearings in the process.

Enjoy!
