Towing over 30 miles is a bad idea! The wheels have bushings instead of bearings usually. The width is a problem as are the tires (both already addressed), which are built for slow off-road use only. Time is a factor also, figure out the towing time because you will not be allowed on interstates as the minimum speed is usually 45MPH. This means an overnight stop if towing, which will go far in paying for having it hauled. You may figure 50MPH if hauling, as an average speed overall. At 50MPH that is 6 HRs, at 30MPH that is 10 HRs-ie: overnight stop or towing in darkness, rush hour, etc. Remember, you cannot bypass all those small towns since you can't use interstates!
