trailer tyre opinions needed

[christover1]

should I run smaller diameter tyres on the camper, for easier towing,
less strain on little engine etc? With a small loss of clearance.
Still more than under Frogs diffs tho.
They could still be used in emergencies on the car.

Presently running incorrect rim width for tyre size,
and having clearance issues with shock to tyre wall, on deep compression.
This could be solved by buying correct rim width, or by going down to correct tyre for the rims I have.
After recently upgrading the slippers to eye to eye springs,
the camper now sits higher, ie not level with car.
(They may bed down with weight and use)

PS. I just went out and measured track widths of car and trailer.
Tyre wall to tyre wall of car is 65"
and Trailer is 67" tyre wall to tyre wall.
so a loss in track width of trailer may be a good thing?

Thats a big part of the motivation to look into skinnier tyres.
