Tyres and Brakes

[AZZA]

Well the time has come that I need to fit new shoes to the trailer. The existing ones are cracking up and if I dont bite the bullet and do it, I will be one of those guys you see on the side of the road with the cranky Mrs standing beside the boat while I go for part. Also need to do the bearings and the brake rotors need a good machining. Is anybody in the tyre game or the brake trade?

i just put some new yokohamas on mine, 14 inch tyres for like $89 each fitted and heard good reports about em, those nankang have gone through the roof i believe cos apparently they used to be the only producers of trailer type tryes , that is until now, so shop around, i got mine from bob jane, if this helps, and also on your rotors, brake ppl wont really want to machine the rotors cos it will damage the diamond tip on the machine.

Thanks Rob what damages the tip is it the fact that trailer boat rotors tend to be a bit rough from the rust

From all reports it will be worth your while to make the drive. Professional service no bullsh and well priced for AFO members.

I agree that they will not want to skim your rotors because of rust.
