I have had 2 incidents w single-axle trailers and their tires and wheels. Both ended up w a LOT of aggravation and inconvenience suffered on my part(thankfully neither resulted in serious damage or injury to others.) If either case would have happened on a DA the incident either would not have occurred or been just a minor blip.
