Just wondering...why do motorhome, trailer, 5th wheel tires blow apart so bad that they cause damage to the rv?? I've had many flats on my cars and vans over the last 43 years but never had one come a...
Forum Discussion
I made a post on another forum about tires made in china and got dinged (NOt an RV-NET forum).
Seriously the comment that gets my vote is the "You know it immed"
I will give another answer as well.. Or two
One is the weight (As expressed by the pressure) on the tire.. I mean if the tire needs 50 PSI to stay round then it's hauling a lot more weight per surface aras that a 25 PSI tire (Auto tires normally run around 27 psi).
Second is the speed it's spinning,, I blew a tire on the last trailer I owned (On the way to the dealer to trade it in on the Class A I'm in now) and I knew when it happened Same as a car tire. And hit the shoulder but that much smaller diameter tire was well and truly shredded.
It may have been running low, but I don't think so.
It was a bit over-age though.
No loss of control, trailer was light weight (Scamp) and empty (Well it had perhaps 5 pounds of "Stuff" inside, specifically a porta-potty with no water in the tank). As I said. on way to trade in).
