Monte,
If the tires do not hold air, you will struggle to get the car onto
the trailer because of lack of ground clearance. Using the comealong is
OK, as is a winch, or a crew of strong guys. You might find that the
brakes are stuck, or the clutch is stuck, and that makes pushing tough.
Drag tires with the comealong-it won't hurt anything if the tires slide
the few feet you have to move it.
Consider taking the wheels from your good car with you. That way, if
those on the parts car are flat, you can swap and roll it.
