Install a 4 stage charger and you can leave it plugged in all the time. I never plug mine in. I let it charge on a proper solar charger. I just clear the snow off the panels.

If you're really set on getting them replaced try a graphics shop. They should be able to recreate them. I couldn't ever source them from the manufacturer since they stopped making them.

I run light truck tires. You can run above the 65mph limit on most trailer tires and they run a lot better. But IMO you get what pay for.
