So bought my 1966 24ft Barth and I do love it. The guy I got it from put the wrong sized tires on it, so who knows what tires belong on it and I assume they can be replaced? Repair guy said I might have to replace axels too? just to replace tires?? Help?

You've also listed it as a '64 22' trailer. In any event, the tires could be the only thing needing replacement. Most trailers in that size have 14" or 15" rims.

But first, check the DOT date stamp, the load rating, and the size. If less than 7 years old and with the correct load rating, they could be just fine.

Yes I thought it was a 1964 and that's how it was advertised but when I got it and looked up the VIN number I learned it was a 66. Thanks for the help.
