    It does seem a valid concern to not transform "tyres" into "pyres!' If one could invert the trailer and balance it atop the tower the top loading might be more efficient and the insulator would take up less space.
 
    Seriously it sounds like very good idea! I would be most interested in the results.The earth connection - how would that be handled? How tall is the tower?
 
    I gave up this morning and ordered a copy of the new RSGB VLF book! Forgive me, I did this via ARRL.

Turn your own tires and wheels out of Delrin on a lathe =-O

I expect modern tyres have so many ingredients like carbon, steel wire and other polly compounds that they make poor insulators. If the trailer was parked on a sheet of suitable insulation material it would be alright but it has to be rigid and not move about in windy condx. I have a few ideas but keeping the installation rigid would be the problem even with insulated guy ropes.  It could be back to just using the tower as a support for wire structures. Where would I get proper insulated blocks made to replace the wheels, someone might know of a source.
