Has anyone ever brought their boat to Sam's to get new tires?

TIA.
Do you back it in the slot or what? I don't want them trying to do it.

logic would have me believe they come out with some floor jacks and change them outside.

Your boat has tires? Pics please.

may want to look into that before you drag the boat over because the wal mart closest to my camp doesn't do trailers. We had to buy the tires and put them on ourselves.

Goodyear does them outside with floor jacks.

Got my 5 from Costco, but I brought them the tires/rim. I love their tire service Dept. They have been reliable trailer tires, made by Greenball

That's what I fear. It is a tandem axle independent suspension trailer.(well independent for each axle) Going to be a bitch to change them out.

If you want a trailer tire to last and not dry rot, put some good car/truck tires on. This is from someone pulling boats for well over 40 years. Trailer tires suck the big one no matter who makes them, they blow.

Well these tires are original....from 2002. Haha.
And I'm getting rid of it so I'm looking for the best price out the door.

Brought mine to Tire Engineers on Burbank. Tires in stock and a 30 minute scheduled job.

Bought mine from Simple Simon.
I change my out every 3 yrs max.
After a blow out years ago hauling the boat down to Florida I do not risk it.

Not sure if Sam's policy is the same as Walmart, but they wouldn't touch the trailer. Had to take the wheels/tires off and bring just that to them.

They won't do work outside the shop and they won't put the trailer in the shop. You'll have to bring them the wheels.

Old trailer tires >>> new trailer tires. I've been rolling on 20+ year old tires on my trailers for years. Only had one deflate, not blow.
I've seen new ones only last 2 or 3 years. They aren't cheap either

Hydraulic jack and jacks stands on frame, wasn’t that bad to be honest.

Agree with you on that.
I also check the bearings while you are down there.

No different than springs, find an mom and pop place that you can drop off and pick up. Make sure to get the upcharge Helium inflation system.
