Removing tires during off-season?

[Greg J.]

Do any of y'all remove the tires and set the boat/trailer on blocks during off-season? I've thought about it, but not sure where to place the blocks. The bolts for the leaf springs would preclude placing the supports directly under the frame. Maybe in front of and behind the leaf springs on the trailer frame?

I have always placed the trailer on blocks but never removed the tires. The thing you want to avoid is dead spotting the tires. As long as the weight is off they will be fine. I place the blocks under the axle as close as possible to the wheel.

Also treat your tires with a dressing before and cover them if possible.

Thanks guys. Don't have it blocked yet, but do have the tires covered with heavy gauge plastic. Looks like I need to go get some blocks and some wood
