On the way up to sebring late last year, an enclosed racecar trailer blew a tire a couple hundred feet in front of me. Looked like a bomb.
The fender went about 50' in the air and shrapnel was everywhere, pretty scary. Most trailers sit unused for weeks or months, the sun really degrades the tires on one side more than the other, that can cause big problems. dr |
