Location: Minnesota: where it's tough to be a sportsfan! | One of the best things you can do to help out with good tow and ease in backing not to mention Tire wear is to have the axle laser aligned on your trailer. Everytime when my boys were young and I saw one of them jump a curb I was on them. An axle moves a little with each jolt like that and after some time this will take a toll on the tires. Most guys also do not follow this rule but depending on storage situations, ozone levels etc...tires have a life expectentcy of 5- 10 years tops. With 7 being a very common number in the Midwest. Think about that one, I know the neighbor has three boats and one set of tires he has are still the origninals on a 1992 trailer. These are the tires with great tread patterns that you see a 1/2 tire at mile marker 94 and the other half at 101! |
