It almost appears that the edge of the tread is hanging off the board and placing stress on the interior chords. Yes, I should have been more specific. The board is 8" WIDE and 2" inches high.318Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tread Separation on Maxxis M8008
Downtheroad.... Damage looks the same on the tire next to that one. Because they look exactly the same, might have run over something?? America's Tire didn't really have an answer. That side of the coach faces south when parked at home and do I keep the tires covered, I suppose there could be some UV problem, but exactly the same damage on 2 tires on the same side?????? How did you get that picture to show up....I tried for 2 days to post a picture and ended up with a link....Grrrr Thanks318Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tread Separation on Maxxis M8008
To Thomasmnile....... funny thing about the weight, the large slide out is on the OTHER side. I'm wondering if it is an axle problem. In September I replaced OEM suspension with Dexter EZ Flex. The OEM had worn a rather elongated hole in the hanger...that was a potential disaster avoided!! I suspect the axle because I ALWAYS have to level that side of the coach when camping, even on level pavement....odd!319Views0likes0CommentsTread Separation on Maxxis M8008
Has anyone experienced tread separation on Maxxis M8008 tires? I bought 4 of them in 2010 and just replaced 2 this past weekend do to separation. I am concerned because the 2 tires in question were on the same side of the 5th wheel. The tires are ST 225 75R15, 80PSI. I always check the PSI before a trip, so that was correct. Any input of thoughts as to whether this is a "tire" issue or a possible axle issue? Also, whenever I level side to side, I always have to put the side in question on a 2" board to level the coach, even on "level" pavement campsites. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-5voKlZ0LBCU/UpTPzoU71vI/AAAAAAAAADw/j3qbLUp2LP0/s512/Maxxis%25202.JPG https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-OBCkcWz6p98/UpTP0Arj9EI/AAAAAAAAAD0/RGGXWtHRgnE/s128/Maxxis%20Tire.JPG7.7KViews0likes43CommentsRe: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012
I bought the "white" Oxygenics shower head before reading this thread. Must say I wasn't all that impressed with it; especially since it does not have a shut off valve on it. You can turn it down but not off - not a great design for an RV. How much better/different are the other two models?316Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012
Lt46 - I like the rack for your generator. Question to all who have put their generators on a rack hanging off the rear bumper. Does the entire trailer vibrate when the generator is running? What is the effect? I want to do something like that but was afraid it would be more annoying than putting it on the ground off to the side. Thanks!386Views0likes0Comments
