Go with low profile tires

The 205/55-15's on my car are surprisingly close in overall height to the 5.30 X 12 tires that came with my Harbor Freight 1740 trailer and they are actually 3/4 inch smaller in diameter than the 185/80-13's on my Little Guy

The Indespension suspension units look like pretty typical rubber torsion stuff, but the adjustability (which doesn't seem to be shown on the site) is a nice feature. The North American supplier with splined mounts like this is Flexiride.


I believe Heikki (classic finn) contacted them about it a while ago on a different thread about them custom making them.



Hi there Mini :lol: :lol: Yes I did contact them and they said they could make basically what I needed..

Also there is another one there in England also that is cheaper than Indespension, but after my computer crashed I lost the adress and name . Maybe you remember it Mini?? :thinking:
