Last year I bought a 5x8' utility trailer to haul my bike to NH in from AZ, Trip out was no problem but I blew two tires on the way home. The trailers rated for 1650lbs so the weight of the bike should not be a problem. But tire size is 12". My question is can I put bigger tires on the trailer. I found some 15" tires with the same lug pattern, I might have to modify the fenders , but I had a couple people tell me I'd burn the axle bearing out if I put the bigger tires on. This really didn't make much sense to me because I'm thinking bigger tires will put less wear on the axle bearing.So what do you guys think?
Reason I haul the bike instead of ride is I go for a few months and also have pets I take. I've rode cross country many times.
