Tire Question;
I have a very small flap in one of my TT's tires. It's on the side wall, about half way up from the road. It doesn't seem to be penetrating the inner wall, but the outer rubber cover is a simi-circu...

You didn't say "cut". You imply the first signs of decomposition of the tire. If these are trailer tires o your rig, scrap them and go to LT tires. Check the deductible on your insurance policy to help you decide to upgrade. On the I-10 I saw a big rig trailer recap blow as a brand new RV was going by. I stopped as a witness. I gave the victim my mailing address. She later reported the damage to her Navigator amounted to $11,000 plus a couple of thousand dollars for hospital bills for her small boy riding in a car seat. That impressed me. Forget about the damage potential to your own rig and start thinking about liability for a multi-vehicle incident. Is it worth it?
I gotta continue this...about an hour after I got done filling out paperwork I heard a terrible noise so I turned down the radio. The noise slowly psssed me. It was a lady in an old SUV. Sticking out the filler pipe was a nozzle with about ten feet of gas station hose still attached. I had to pull over onto the shoulder I was laughing so hard. A couple of minutes later a couple of Blue Arizona Highway Patrol cars roared past, lights flashing, sirens yelping. I turned off the freeway a few miles later toward Ajo. Man! It's a nuthouse up there!
