How does tire size affect performance? I see that almost all trailers come with little wheels/tires. Is this just a cost issue or does it affect performance/pulling character?
I'm considering changing out the wheel/tire combo to a 5x5 so I can share the spare with my jeep. I also like the larger footprint for pulling it on the beach or dirt roads. I won't be doing hard offroad with it attached, but I'd like to be able to setup base camp a lil off the beaten path.
Does a larger tire provide more rolling resistance? Bad aerodynamics (considering the Jeep is lifted as well).
I would expect the brakes should have more room, but fenders and clearance with an axle flip/swap would have to occur.
