Re: [VACList] New Tires and Wheels



Lauren, as others have said it's highly recommended that you replace your 25
year old tires on you trailer before taking any additional trips. Aside from
very real safety concerns, when your old tire comes apart on the road, it's
very likely to cause several hundred dollars damage to your trailer's wheel
well and skin. There is very little clearance between the tire and the wheel
well. The cost of new serviceable tires will be less than the damage likely
to be inflicted and the peace of mind would be worth a lot to me.
