Hi everyone. I'm bumping up this thread to ask about new tires for a trailer my family and I just bought.
I've been trying to get the family and kiddos to come out overlanding with me more and more with our JLUR and it's been slowly happening, but there were some requirements attached to do this right for them. Ultimately what it meant was a hardshell trailer where we could go out anywhere regardless of weather and have a warm place to sleep. We looked at a lot of trailers that were light enough that our JLUR could tow and ended up liking the Taxa Cricket. They are WAY too expensive to buy new (and even used) right now, but we were lucky and found one from 2016, practically new and only used twice. It was priced to sell and we were even able to knock down a couple grand more. Still can't believe it.
Overtime, while I learn about trailers, I will be working on it and slowly turning it into something closer to the Overland version. Lift, bigger tires, axle-less, skid plates on the water tank, etc.
This weekend I'll be starting with a small lift so I can get just about 2.5 inches more in there and will soon be getting new tires. I'm thinking (although I need to measure) that I might be able to fit 30 or 31s in there once the lift is done.
I'm wondering what you would suggest that would be a good mix between off and on road. Maybe not super expensive that will hold well once the trailer is loaded.
I've seen KO2s and Toyos ranging from $160-190 but maybe there are better options for load and thinner profile that fits the cricket better?
Any suggestions? thx!
(I wish I could fit my barely used 33inch KO2s that I had on the Rubi before upgrading... lol)
