Always carry a spare wheel for your trailer?
When buying our latest RIB I was pleased the trailer came with a spare wheel. I knew it needed a new tyre so had one fitted a few weeks after buying the boat.

It took me a few months until I spotted the real problem....

Have you checked the stud pattern of the wheel of the wheel on the other side?
