Well, I had a huge chunk of rubber fall off of one of my trailer tires yesterday, on Highway 40, right next to Strawberry. Fortunately, it didn't blow and I was able to get to that huge parking lot they have for snowmobile parking and get it changed. My experience has been that when I have one boat tire fail that I better immediately replace the other tires. It is interesting how close together they fail.
When I took the spare in to be replaced I asked the guy who assisted me at the tire store what age that tire was. He looked at several places on the tire and said that he could typically spot the date immediately but couldn't find the date on that tire. So, I was hoping it was older than the remaining two tires on the trailer (which are dated 2009). So, now it is off to the tire shop to replace the remaining two tires.
We had the tire on a dual-wheel boat trailer disintegrate right in front of us on the way home as we drove down Parley's. So, I guess with the extra heat it was a bad day for boat tires.
BOAT = bring out another thousand.[frown]
