the issue would be better sorted if you replaced the wheels to the next size up, making it more suitable for using on motorways etc

Thanks marg6. I've only just purchased a new set of 8" wheels and tyres for it so don't want to waste that. The trips we are likely to be doing for the foreseeable aren't too great (80 miles each way) and not all motorway.

yes we did the same thing a couple of years ago with our little trailer too but realised that the 8 inch ones just arent suitable for rod use as you are now finding out, great for behind a quad or farm use, so we bought the proper size wheels and tyres set which didnt cost the earth i think in all it came to about £40 but the whole thing sits better now behind the car and doesnt seem to bounce around as much either, but the main concern was wearing the wheel bearings out, anyway we put the new set up for sale and sold then within a couple of days and put the money towards the cost of the larger ones which we should have got in the first place.
