A cheaper alternative is the 40x48 utility trailer sold by Northern Tools. It's a kit that sells for $189.99 with the 12" wheels. Then you can customize the trailer to hold tires and a toolbox. I've towed one behind a Miata for 700 miles with no problems. Northern can be reached_at_800-533-5545 or www.northern-online.com
