yes, yes I did.   First time loading a vehicle into an enclosed trailer.    I was worried about hitting the blind side wall.     I think I need air strip landing lights.  :)

Thats what the "tire guy" said too. 

I think most people dont, because you cant feel it in the tow vehicle.

However, I think its a good idea for trailer bearing/tire life.
