Akuret tire failure
So I knew it was just a matter of time...
Driving South on I-95 in NC, I was pulled over by a State Trooper. He said he saw something wobbling under my fiver and wanted me off the highway. Upon inspection of the trailer tires, we found a grapefruit size bubble on the inner sidewall of the right front tire. Wow.
By stopping me before the China bomb blew up, he probably saved me mucho dollars. While thanking him, he commented on how nice my fiver was and he was considering an RV. I offered him a tour inside and he accepted. He was impressed, of course.
Kudos to that NC State Trooper!
Just installed a set of Maxxis last Friday, mounted and balanced. What a difference in construction between the Maxxis and OEM Akuret. Maxxis sidewall stiffness was much greater than the China junk.
BTW, they were all set at 80 psi prior to leaving that morning. The bad tire was manufactured the 6th week of 2012. The Maxxis were all manufactured 12th week of 2014 in Thailand.
