Which brings me to a question to which I'd much appreciate a concise answer:
WHEN should trailer tires be replaced?
Seems to me that visual inspection/penny tests aren't right for tires that are intermittently used...how does one know that it's time to take the plunge?
The problem is that there isn't a concise answer.
For those who have studied chemistry, there is the Arrenehius equation - a reaction rate doubles with every 10°C increase in temperature. I hope it would be understandable that a tire that spends its life in Phoenix would age much faster than one in Minneapolis.
So when these things are stated, you have to understand that it might be stated in a conservative manner - short timeframe - or on the other end.
