I don't think towing could ever be an enjoyable experience, but I'd like to take as much stress out of it as possible.

Mom...get the lift kit, Maxxis tires (15" load range E) and new rims (etrailer is a good place for rims...

Then go online and look up Discount Tire...that is where I got mine and then you can take them to your local Discount Tire with your receipt and they will mount and balance them for free.

Or you could just go down to your Discount Tire and order them from there.
Another thing...while your at Discount tire, buy the road hazard warranty...it's $35 a tire but if anything ever happens to the tire they will replace it for free...well worth it in my books!! I did just that and when I had my Timbren Axles put on they screwed up and one of my brand new Maxxis $140 tires got ruined...so they ( the trailer repair company) bought me a new Maxxis tire and I kept the ruined one which I took back and Discount tire gave me a new tire also, so I got a second spare tire for free (I already had a spare by the way). All I had to do is get another rim...so now I have two spares....I like the road hazard warranty and have used it on many occasions to replace tires. You can't go wrong with Discount tires...I assume you have one near you....
good luck
Tom
ps Look up this tire on Amazon and read the customer reviews and you'll see...pay a little extra now and skip the worries!
