Also keep in mind that the faster you tow, the more risks you are taking
and the more strain you are putting on your rig. Stopping distances while
towing are substantially greater than when not towing, and your ability
to "evade" accidents is also much reduced.

Check to make sure your trailer's hubs are greased and if you are towing
any distance, when you stop, put your palm on the hubs. Warm is fine;
really hot is not. I boat in salt water, so I have a two gallon garden
chemical sprayer in my car that I fill with fresh water. After I launch
the boat, I spray the trailer's brakes with fresh water.

Have fun.


I thought everyone south of the border ripped along at 75 mph (as some
here would have you believe)
I wouldn't want to be behind them if a tire blew.


With a proper tow vehicle, do not even notice a blowout on a tandem axle
trailer. Normally you find out about it from a passing motorist honking and
pointing. I bought Carlisle tires one time, never again. Had 3 blowouts in
less than 15 months. The fourth tire was separating when I stopped to
change a blowout.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc.

Or to put it another way...

The correct terminology is whatever I say the correct terminology is.

Worst. Tires. Ever.

Thanks for sending the shock of fear through me! I just put Carlisle
tires on the trailer. I'm only traveling 300 mile round trip this
weekend and most of my trips are 100 round, but the thought of
interstate driving and having a blowout #$%^&..I do have them inflated
50psi..I'm not going to bring up the issue of bearings ,don't need to
think about that as I'm driving tomorrow.I just won't check the news
group until I'm back!!

Arrrgh. I have four "Trail America" tires on my new trailer. Probably
made in North Korea by a subsidiary of the Carlisle-Goodyear
Conglomerate. Both of those companies, Carlisle and Goodyear, have had
some serious problems with their trailer tires.
