Reminds me of something my dad did back when he drove 18-wheelers. On one particular delivery he had two tires blow out on the same side of one axle within ~5 minutes of each other. Being around 20 miles from the nearest town and no way to replace the tires he ended up using a chain attached to the trailer frame to elevate that side of the axle until he could stop somewhere to have it fixed.

It wasn't as cool as using a tree limb, but it must have looked nearly as odd driving down the road.

But could it work on a car tire??

Why not? At least temporarily. If it works it works. The only condemnation's why he didn't have a spare tire in the first place. Is there a DOT rule that says your trailer can't be a skid with no wheels? For around town and rare trips to Home Depot a skid trailer might work fine.

You might be a redneck if...

Now THAT'S ghetto!!

I Like It!
