Tire Trailer for M2?

SEAT TIME RULES · 07-27-2021, 10:16 AM

My latest roadblock is losing the ability to transport my track rims to an event.

With the 4 point cage going in I'm either going to drive up on Goodyear Supercar 3R's, or have to add a tire trailer.

Any of you go this route?

if yes what did you purchase and why?

TIA,
Steve

There is a good thread on this somewhere on the forum. I found it very informative as this is something I plan to do for the exact reason you state. I won't get to it this year but plan to customize one of the utility trailers from a local trailer builder. I already purchasec the curt hitch (also another thread on that specifically).

Which size do you use on your M2C?

As another option check out Racersrig (dot) com

This is the direction I'll go.

I went with Leroy Engineerings Paddock Tire Trailer. It comes in Two widths I believe depending on how wide your Tires are. You can customize the Deck to accomodate up to 8 Tires if you wish. Price on site shows $2,400. Looking forward to my 8 hour drive to Watkins Glenn in August. I don't even notice the trailer behind me.

Unfortunately last I heard he's not in business anymore and never actually sold any trailers

. Leroy Engineering seems to be the only off the shelf tire trailer option. I'll probably go that route once I get a cage. Shipping is a bit eye watering though (over $1k for me in Seattle), so I may look into what local shops could do fab wise...

Look up the Aluma AE46. I think it's a great enclosed option which is what I would like personally. If I'm on a long road trip and I need to hit a hotel I don't really like my stuff out in the open.

I probably won't do that exact one but as mentioned before local trailer builders can make me something similar for a bit less $$

I ordered a trailer from Leroy last year and had a Stealth Hitch installed. Setup was great. Didn't notice the trailer behind me, even during longer drives and higher speeds. I received many compliments with the setup. Highly recommend both of these products if you cannot trailer your car to track.
Unfortunately, I only used the trailer for a few events. Eventually had cage and seats installed (seat belts removed). Didn't feel comfortable driving a car that technically wasn't street legal. Then there was the thought of hitting roll cage without helmet during an accident.
Ended up getting a new tow vehicle and a friend is letting me borrow a Trailex open trailer. If I could do it again, i would have just gone down this route and save some money.
