New Tires for Tire Trailer?

So the tires on my tire trailer are almost bald so it's time for new ones. Has anyone else burned through a set of tire trailer tires? Any tips on mounting?

Ordered these from Northern:

Hopefully they should be in before the tour...

I replaced mine a couple years ago but I got lucky and Northern had them on sale already on a rim. Now I have 2 spares!

Aren't you supposed to disconnect the trailer before running through the cones????

Those little tires burn up quick. When I upsized to 12s on my old trailer I almost tripled the mileage I got.

I had planned to buy the 12", 4-bolt replacement wheel/tire combo when my 8" got worn. If you watch the sales, you can generally get them for $30/each.

I changed some of the 8" with screwdrivers for tire spoons

only hard part was getting new one to seat on rim

wrapped a tie down around the tread and tightened it to force the bead to seat
