Default Old Tires and blow outs

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.

Exclamation Don't forget to check the Valve Stems.

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.

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