Tire Explodes at 107
We lost a tire on the way home from Stockton yesterday. There was rain (or at least that’s what I remember it being called) when we left and 76 degrees. Tire blew at 107 in Archie, MO and actually that was great luck. I know someone in Archie who came to the rescue…..man it’s nice to know good people!
Stopped to check the pressure in the spare and add a little air and decided to check the other tire. I was 7 pounds over inflated. I guess the heat made it build pressure. Time for tires because the spare is the original from 1993, first time on the ground.

Take your trailers to a good sized tire shop and have them break them down and inflate with nitrogen. Nitrogen will not get hot and expand like air. It costs a few bucks, but if you do much traveling it's well worth the cost. Have them balanced at the same time. You can't get ALL the air out but what's left won't increase pressure more than 1 lb.

New shoes for the Boat
If I can I’d like to suggest Gene’s Tire and Service in Liberty if ya need new skins for a boat or trailer even a car maybe. They were awesome and great prices. A buddy suggested them and I’d use them again. I may go have them filled with nitrogen as suggested!
