This weekend a buddy and I blew a tire on his boat trailer. You know one of those cheap China tires.
The fact that the other tire only had 15 lbs. of the recommended 70 lbs. or the spare had 30 of the recommended 70 lbs. had nothing to do with it.
They obviously were those cheap China bombs I keep hearing about.
The "deer in the headlights" look I received, when I asked when he last checked the tire air pressure was priceless.
Well there is the simple proof that tires made in a plant painted blue is not as good as a tire built in a plant painted green.
Maybe one quick method of learning the quality of your tires is to ask.
1. Does the company that made the tire put their name on the tire?
2. Can you get a 100% coverage warranty that does not expire after the first 500 Feet of use?
