Old Tires and blow outs

[FarmerBill]

I just received this information from a cousin of mine and I thought that it was way too serious not to pass on. The video is from ABC news and could save a life.

Please, view the video at the link below and check all the tires on your TVs and TMs.

I will be checking all my vehicles tomorrow.

Thanks for the link. Good stuff ! Now I'm even more motivated to get new tires on my TM soon.

This tire information is news to me but a friend of mine emailed today and said it has been around for a couple of years. I thought it was important enough to pass around. When it comes to roadworthiness one can't be too safe.

Enjoy the TM and "Die dulci fruere", (Have a nice day) and yes, you can say that in Latin.

One of the things that has repeatedly going bad is the valve stems on trailers, including trailmanor. A simple check is to move the valve stem from side to side and see if it has cracking or checking on it. If it does, replace them.
I have have had 3 flats on my 3124KS because of bad valve stems. P.S. Don't forget the spare.http://www.trailmanorowners.com/forum/images/icons/icon4.gif

If you are replacing the valve stems do it with metal ones. virtually same cost and tremendous increase in reliability and peace of mind.
