(approximately one mile). on examination another tire had the belts completely separated and ready to blow. yet another tire had a sidewall bubble the size of 2 softballs. the tire shop immediately removed the valve stem to keep it from blowing. the three tires were replaced. the damage was minimal compared to what could have happened? the trailer wheel well flare was lost. scratches up the side of the trailer and one wheel center cap damaged.*ak |
