I add air to all four tires, cross ratchet straps and tighten my shocks full tight. Also balance trailer tires. Big difference. Mike McMahan 2543 H/SA

I picked up my freshly painted car about 2 weeks ago and traveled about 300 miles. When I opened the trailer door, the mounts for my spare slicks were so loose they almost fell onto the rear quarter panels. The spare tire was also loose. I have nice slick and spare tire mounts. All were tight before I left. The roads are horrendous. Tie everything down and check frequently.

Had a set of slick mounts, I drilled a small hole and added a pin so it could not back off
