Quote: 7 year old tire on a trailer, less than 100 miles later another one did exactly the same thing. You guys can run old tires all you want, but hope you don't kill somebody else.
What brand is that tire and where was it made?
Most trailer tires are junk and I'd not trust hem as far as I could throw them. Was always a huge issue when I was in the RV business.
We had new trailer tires where the air would come through the sidewalls!
Yep. That was the reason for my question. There have been quite a few posts here and on other boards about the sad situation with trailer tires the last few years. It has gotten so bad that all our trailers have regular vehicle tires, not trailer tires.
In this particular case, I'll bet that age wasn't the primary reason for the failures. Based on what I have seen the last few years, he should feel lucky that they got him that far.
