Protection]
From what I have been told it's also important to keep the tires off
concrete if parked for extened periods.
Someone has also told me that if I kept it park for extended periods on
concrete, then I should place wood under the tires.
Or that I should put it on jackstands to save the tires. I don't
think jackstands would be a very good option to some, myself
included, but others may. It would be an inconvience when you do get the
opportunity to use your trailer. But if it's stored in a storage area I don't
believe you'd move it very much to occassionaly rotate the tires to
prevent flat spots.
I currently have old, and I mean old, tires on it because I still
repairing stuff in it, but I would also like to hear some
vintage experts opinions with their vast practical experience
on how they protect and perserve their tires.

It's just as important, if not more, to protect the
sidewalls. My trailer
came with homemade plywood covers that fit up
into the wheel wells. I keep
forgetting to buy a cover for
the spare, which Is on a continental style
mount on the
rear.
