Spoken like a true Miata owner!  My wheels/tires weigh
almost 50 pounds each, and there's no way that all of
my autox gear weighs more than 100 pounds with the
box and everything.  The F-Body guys all put the tires
on the front, and even our resident Miata and MR2 owners
do it.  My trailer is rock-solid, including a jaunt
across Alligator Alley in south Florida at speeds fast
enough where the wind force tore the license plate off
it's mounting screws.....
