Re: Got a trailer blowout today!
I would like to thank Ryan for stepping up to the plate and giving us a gut check....I'm a novice boater and purchased my girl a few months ago from a old timer who was the original owner. He assured me the tires are new and the bearings have been replaced as well. Just a month after i brough her home i saw the that the tread was breaking apart. I didnt think it was a big deal at the time so i ended up taking her out to the lake the next day. After spending all day having a blast on the water i decided to call it a day. After pulling out the boat and going through my check list i saw the tire was really coming apart. I ended up driving home very slow (45mph) and god was watching over me let me tell ya!! when i got home there wasnt much tread left and i thank god for getting me home safe. I drove her to my local tire store and puchased 2 brand new trailer tires 4x80x12. Reading this makes me Thank the lord for web sites like this. "Kudos" for you fella's who take the time to educate us younger folks........
