A different video of a tire failure problem

Here is a video of a tire failure that I have not seen before. I have nothing else to do right now so I thought that I would post it on here to see if anyone wanted to comment on it.

  • A few things I noticed.
    Overloaded F150
    No grease on the ball
    6 lug axles very possibly "D" rated tires which are borderline on that size trailer.
    And way too much fun!
  • Yea she called it at 4:45 "was it too much air" :B

    I would have recommended a low cost click torque wrench with the proper 6-point socket and 6" extension over the cross wrench. And get a jack already or use the truck jack. Love the fact he has gloves but no tools :R
  • To many variables, low pressure, road hazard, tread separation, overloading. Who knows after the fact?

    Always carry the tools to change your TT tire and know how to use them.

    It is the difference between a 20 minute delay and being stranded until road service can find you.
  • Tire thread separation......very common.
    New trailer/junk OEM tires and who knows WHAT kind of weight-----family LOADED up for 6 month journey

    Only thing really different was Hwy Patrol Officer standing guard/traffic alert.

    Nice to see!

    Trailer guy really should have pulled on forward into larger off road area vs right there on that curve.
