Spare tire

Have you checked the air pressure in you spare trailer tire lately?

Why is there something wrong with yours?

Nothing wrong except it only had 20lbs in it. Just a reminder to all.

I wonder not only how many people forget to check not just their spare trailer tire but also the one for their vehicle? A lot of those tires riding around under the back of these pick-ups are low.

20 lbs will get you to the next town. Don't you carry a plug in air compressor? Slime makes a real good 290 psi pump for about $24.00.

Sure 20 lbs. will get you somewhere....but its better to have the correct pressure. I do carry a 12 volt plug in air compressor with me and also tire plugs and the tools to put them in with. I also carry a complete trailer hub with bearings races and seals installed and packed with grease. I also carry two complete sets of wheel bearings, races , and seals, grease and tools to install them. I don't like having to leave my boat and trailer on the side of the road while I travel around in unfamiliar territory trying to find parts on a Sunday afternoon.

Great reminder Major

Just checked mine a couple of days age while I was repacking my bearings. Thanks for the reminder though.

See it now " "G"'s Tire and Rubber".

Fill them up with nitrogen and you won't need to check them as often.
