    Clearwater / St Pete’s S&Fr’s

    Hey all, currently spending a few days in the Clearwater / St Pete’s area.
    I’m dragging a newly acquired rig back home for a friend of mine and just had a chance to check the trailer out.
    It needs rubber before I hook on and drag it 1500 miles.
    Looking for a set of 4 - 205/75-D14, 5 bolt rim.
    Any recommendations for a local tire / marine / auto parts place that would have wheels & tires?
    I’d prefer to do both wheels & tires, that way I’ve got a spare (or 4) if I have a problem on the way home and I can use the old ones on yard trailers back home.

    Check the bearings and lube them. Find some at Walmart etc? Must be a good tire place within a few miles.

    Bearings are smooth & well lubed / maintained.
    Walmart shows em as available but nobody stocks em. Delivery on the day after we’re supposed to be pulling out.....
    I’m sure there’s some on the shelf somewhere.....

    Advantage Trailer on 54th St. in St Pete shows the 205/75/14 on a 5 spoke rim for $99/ea. I think they keep a decent amount in stock.

    I get all my trailer parts from Owens and Son's trailers 34th Street and 8th Ave South.

    American Discount Marine on 66th street and 62nd Ave North is another option

    Big thanks to all for their input.
    Ended up passing by O’Dells on the way to see Brendan @ PPE.
    Holy Crap!! That place is pretty wild. They have just about anything you could possibly need to repair or build a trailer and the people behind the counter are pretty colorful.....
