Well it seems we are going to miss majority of rain where I live, most of it is going be in western Arkansas.

Coming in at 2:00 am, supposedly

Catastrophic air pressure loss would be my guess. LOL

Back in the safety of my hood in Hot Springs. I’m going for a boat ride to cool off with a cold one.

 

[Montecresto]

Tons of rain. We are in a flash flood warning with more heavy rain coming.

Has the grass greened up after all the burning???

 

[Montecresto]

Was there rubber dust on inside?

What dot manufacturing date?

On the inside???

This is the only DOT marking I could find. And it’s not real legible...

 

[Montecresto]

Looks to me like you got something in tread of tire causing it to leak between tread and casing of tire causing it to separate.

This is the brand, nothing I’ve ever heard of, and says made in China.

DOT number will be in a circle on one side or other of what you show in your picture. It will be in a circle at end of what you have in your picture. Should be 4 digits like 2309 which would be 23rd week of 2009. That will tell you how old they are. I have saw that brand. Off brand cheap made tire. That is what comes on most trailers. Cheapest tires they can put on.

Rubber dust on inside is inner liner breaking down because it has been running low on air and building heat on inside of tire. It would smell like burned rubber.

Oh I see, nope, none of that.

Ok, when I get back by the trailer I’ll check out one of the good tires for that.

That means that it failed pretty quick.

Yep. Notice how full the pond is as well

Oh I know it did, at 80 psi it sounded like a shotgun blast.....

WOW.....

 

[jwfirebird]

Well......Trust but verify anything. They test good, all of them. They’re 80PSI censors that go yellow -4 and red -10 and all four are working good. Bottom line though, I’ve got s*** tires on here and they’re getting replaced to tomorrow with 16 ply good years if I can get them.

just be careful, I didn't check till after I had a problem a lot of people say they cause a slow leak, I had the car ones they did too. not worth the trouble to me

Thanks, here ya go....

Holy crap Monte. Those are 7 months old. Wow. They definitely aren’t Michelin’s . Michelin should make a trailer tire. I’ll ask @PBishop . He’s worked there for 30 years.
That’s not performance. That looks like what was happening to the Firestone tires years ago. Lost the whole centre tread. What make are they.
Good luck the rest of the drive.

Well there’s your problem. All the tire companies in North America and they put tires from China on. Everything to save a penny.
Assholes.

Sunny and cool here this morning. 35 degrees. Going up to 50.
Should be a nice day. Not as nice as south, but good for us.
No bugs yet.
