- Could be defective tire (Chinese, U.S. or other) but the result of overloading, under/over pressure, excessive speed, high mileage, old.worn out tires, etc.
- The link shows a pic of a perfect condition TT with a flat tire, no fire damage or anything, are they trying to pin this on the RVer so they can go after the insurance company ?
- Yea - I trust news from Face Book.
- Could be rim dragging on pavement throwing sparks!!

Yep. We've had ADOT road signs with dragging chain warnings all summer here in AZ.

I would like to see an independent test where towing a trailer would cause a fire. Dragging chains, flat tires I don't see it. Just more FUD. Unless of course an occupant threw a cigarette into the dry weeds when getting out to review the situation.time2roll wrote:

It doesn’t take much on very dry grass and high temperatures to start a fire. That is why one needs to be careful in those conditions!- Steel trailer wheels put on quite a spark shower show at nite on a run flat after the tire has worn/shreds away. On my nite runs that was the first tip off I had a tire issue on a trailer. Triaxles trailers don't give much input to the driver when one tire goes down on certain road surfaces other than smoke and flying rubber during daylite or huge spark show at nite.
