TrailManor Owner's Forum - View Single Post - Distance Between Tire, Outigger, and Wheel Well?

After our blowout we simply replaced our trailer's 15 inch Carlisle tires with 15 inch Goodyear Marathons. 3124 TM models all come equipped with 15 inch tires straight from the TM Factory. The next larger size of TM trailer, the 3326 models, have smaller 13 inch tires on tandem axles.

Trailer tires are not the only ones that blow out, however. On our recent, 3-1/2 week cross-country trip our truck blew out a rear tire that had lots of tread left. The alligator that flew off bent the truck's exhaust pipe upwards and this resulted in some damage to a newly repaired fender.

And, TrailManors are not the only brand of trailers that sustain wheel well damage from blowouts. At an RV park in Mississippi we parked next to a fifth-wheeler that had sustained a blowout a few days earlier. Part of an outside wheel skirt was torn off. The owner told us that their trailer had sustained some inside damage also.
