I would like to see an independent test where towing a trailer would cause a fire. Dragging chains, flat tires I don't see it. Just more FUD. Unless of course an occupant threw a cigarette into the dry weeds when getting out to review the situation.
June 2018...several fires started by semi dragging chains
It doesn’t take much on very dry grass and high temperatures to start a fire. That is why one needs to be careful in those conditions!time2roll wrote:

Yep. We've had ADOT road signs with dragging chain warnings all summer here in AZ.

Valid news story

- Yea - I trust news from Face Book.
- The link shows a pic of a perfect condition TT with a flat tire, no fire damage or anything, are they trying to pin this on the RVer so they can go after the insurance company ?
- Could be defective tire (Chinese, U.S. or other) but the result of overloading, under/over pressure, excessive speed, high mileage, old.worn out tires, etc.
