Hey there everyone! My first of many posts on here, hopefully.
My current project is at a stand still, thus I seek the knowledge of this forum! Im in need of 60 tires for my trailer that im building. I have found tires on eBay but not enough of the same size. Then I found sauerkrauts model truck store, got excited, did the math for 15 axles, and passed out... WOW! Im cheap, I know. Im scared to try making my own with out idiot proof instructions!! Are there any other options out there for me?? I look forward to all responses and thank you in advance!

it would depend on what kind of trailer you are building to send you in the right direction .. and what size tires you are needing..

Never seen that before... thats pretty cool!!! And well done!
Mine is similar except mine has a tractor, 2 distribution trailers, the load trailer, 3 more distributing trailers, and the push tractor fitted with a tongue on the front. Each of the 5 trailers that distribute the weight of the load has 3 axles. Gonna try to get a few pictures on here in a minute!

Pretty close to my set up, except mine has 15 axles, 3 per trailer. As for the tire size, I dont care much as long as they are all the same, and preferably with rims. The wheels and tires that came with the trucks are a nightmare and really hope to find better ones for the trucks too... that would jump my order to 82 tires! Gonna need a payment plan at this rate!
