I'm not so sure how bad it would be if he used an oscillating tool. T

How do you know what the underlying tire is? Does that say on the side? The number of plys?

You're going to fall off a cliff and die in a massive fire while killing everyone else around you. :geek: First I've heard of them. Are these a different name for re-treads? T

"How easy is it to manage a trailer when having to try to turn around in tighter spaces? Also does having the trailer make it more difficult to maneuver around or over terrain on the trail?" If you are on a road that is marginal with a trailer you're in the wrong place. Set up your camp near...
