Bob,

Nice chair! :thumbsup:

Dropping the pressure a little will sure help, as they are rated at 90 psi to carry a lot more than you are putting on them.

If it isn't enough, removing a leaf to de-rate the spring pack may be another inexpensive option to get you to your goal.

Hi Gage

Worked for me. Unlike most other posts I was less scientific.
It bounced and pulled on the tow, so I let some air Out until it stopped, end of problem.

Lots of miles and no tire wear.

Wrong person. You mean Bob. ;)

And Bob, Judith is going to love the power chair. I sure like mine over my scooter. I have the same problem as far as the power chair. That’s trying to figure out how to transport it with the trailer. With the scooter, I just lower the tiller and put it in the back of the Edge. I think the Door on my Burro is wide enough that I may be able to put it in the trailer. Something to think about. :thinking:

On a trailer for your chair how about a HF 40'' by 48'' remove one leaf from the spring pack . .then as time go by add shocks from a motorcycle .It would be easy to sew up a water proof cover
