[AT] NC Trailer regulations

[John Boehm]

In California, the 14.5" mobilehome tires that are
marked "MH" after the tire size can only be used to
transport manufactured homes. You can use the axles
and wheels on your car/equipment trailer, but to be
legal you must also use the 14.5" "lowboy" tires. They
are more expensive, but are also more heavy duty and
safer to use.
