This is a spin-off the New Office thread of Mike H. I didn't mean to change his thread into a tire thread so I started this one. What I have been told is the major reason for tire failure is over loading your the trailer & tires with improper infaltion. I have also been told if the trailer sits outdoors in the sun the sunlight will deteriorate the tires and cause failure. Sorenson says to have the wheels balanced. I asked a "tire professional " about that and he said balancing trailer tire doesn't make a difference. For the 8 to 10 bucks it costs it couldn't hurt. Anyway having had tire failure I keep a close eye on the inflation always put in the max PSI and try not to put to much weight in the boat. Any other suggestions?
