Answer 4

The inner tubes of the Yakima Rack and Roll #Y08106 wouldn't wear out quicker than the tread tire. Trailer tires should be replaced at 6 years so when you get to that point I'd go with the new #Y8880282 and a new inner tube part #Y8880283.

Answer 11

It is possible to mount the #Y8880282 and #Y8880283 yourself but you're going to need tire spoons. You will also need a way to hold the wheel in place, another person could hold it for you. However, as you saw from the other reviews more than…
