I did not check the tire pressure before I left for this last trip this weekend. Guess that's another check list item before getting on the road.
Well you can spend a bushel of bucks for tires, but if you don't take care of them the only thing the heavy tires will do is more damage when they blow. Before your trailer moves every day you need to be sure the tires are aired to max sidewall pressure. (All tires is a good habit) Then, every time you stop, before you do anything else, touch every tire and hub that has been spinning. If 1 tire feels warm compared to others, grab the gauge. Check both it and 1 of the others. The pressure hot tire should be higher. If not, put air in and get to tire repair shop.
