I carry a small Black and Decker "jump start and tire inflator" in the truck. It will easily ( if somewhat slowly ) inflate tires back up to their normal 50 or 65 psi ( look on your tire to see which is correct ). Then you can pull your trailer to the tire shop where they can replace your tires.

Call a service truck? Call a wrecker? IDK OK, didn't read page 2!

This is your closest tire shop but they don't list Maxxis. Carliele HD would work.(14") 205/75R14?
Closest America's tire or discount tire is in Mission Viejo or Lake Forest.

OP, I understand your dilemma; Trailer tires (ST rated) are a bit of an oddity but they are generally available at common tire stores.
Discount tire stores sell Maxxiss trailer tires (my personal choice) and other brands.

Sorry, I was having a rare seizure.

I just need to know where to take my trailer to get 4 new tires because they're 4 years old - and I think the date on them is 2011. Do you just take them to a tire shop and have them replaced or what exactly?

Thank you

I think I get it.

I take my rims in to the tire shop because I have the jacks, the jack stands, and the ability to mount/dismount the wheels. If I couldn't do that, I'd tow the trailer to the tire shop. I have a few portable compressors and a mile of hose. If I didn't have that, I could also use the cheap 12V inflator I have for emergencies to air up the tires.

If I didn't want to be bothered with tire replacement, I'd call a local tire shop and have them take the wheels off, replace the rubber, and mount them on the hubs again.

I'd bet the OP has similar choices. Sorry, can't help on a local shop in your area.

If you don't trust the tires then grab your jack & jack stands, take off the tires/wheels, haul them to your local tire store & replace.

Unless your just going to park it someplace else, you need a small air compressor so you can check tire pressure before every trip. So you may as well get one to air them up this time.
Not sure why you need a new tire though?
