size of tires

[peke]

My trailer has 13" wheels on it. (Pro Crappie 175) I thought about putting 10 - 11" wheels on it to make it lower to the ground. Low profile-wide tires.

What is the good and bad of doing this?

Thanks, Peke

The bad is....the smaller tires and wheels will have to turn a lot more to cover the same distance and you will be wearing tires and bearings out a lot faster. The smaller ones will also not have the weight carrying capacity as the larger ones. And....I cannot think of any good. I would keep the bigger tires and wheels.

Keep the 13" tires,also the larger tires will make launching easier.

I can't think of anything good about switching to a smaller tire size. 13" tire is really not that big to begin with. I have 13" tires on my trailer and never would even consider going smaller.

mine are 14" and if I went smaller I'd be afraid that something might be dragging as it's kinda low profile anyway.

OK Thanks! My brother had suggested it, but I wasn't sure about doing it.
