Will I tear the tread off?

We have a 30' enclosed trailer that has been sitting since last september. We need to move it this week. It has sunk into the ground a little and now i think it will be froze down. If I hook on to it and move it, will I, or could I damage the tread on the tires? I dont want to ruin the tires. Any advice? Air up the tires? Go for it? Any tricks? Thanks.

if you are concerned about them being frozen down, try airing them down to about 25 psi, then back up to operating pressure. this will crack out any ice / frost that is holding onto them.

thanks.. I will give that a try. I do have them filled with nitrogen, but, I can refill. That will be better than new tires.

I would try to rock it loose rather than pulling it straight forward. You may even be able to break it loose by pouring water around the tires to break the bond of the ice.
