Rotated the spare tire to the right front as the right front is showing more cracks in the side walls near the rim than I like. All 7 tires are dated around the 23 week of of 2005(2305). Spare look like it was never on the ground.
I hope I never have to change out a tire on the road, Just getting the spare tire out from the storage rack under the rear and back in place is a real PITA. Doing a tire change on a busy interstate road is no fun, I thought it was bad on my old Travel Trailer but that was easy compared to this one.
Glad I have road service, just hope I never have to use it.
We had a blowout on HWY 10 in New Mexico - what a nightmare. I called our road service thru our insurance. After explaining for over 15 minutes where we were - he did not understand what a mile marker was and wanted to know what off ramp we were near - tried to explain - no off ramp in sight - just the mile marker. He claimed to call a tow truck.
We waited for an hour - figured we were out in the middle of nowhere, it would take some time to get there. After the hour, I called the road service back - they had no record of my first call :M So I again explained where we were (in the meantime, DH and kids are already changing out the tire!).
By the time the tow truck got there, DH and kids had finished changing the tire and we had him check the tire pressure to make sure that the spare was road worthy. tow truck guy was really cool - don't blame him - he got the call at 10:30 and was there by 11:00.
boy, when we got home did the road service get a nasty phone call from DH!!
