Tires And The Sun

Myron Piatek · 05-11-2018, 01:03 PM

I had a 16" trailer tire that was stored either inside the trailer or in a garage and was 6-7 years old before it was ever "used". It "looked" perfect. But when I did use it as a spare, the entire tread peeled off of it like a banana before it had 2,000 miles on it! Luckily it still kept full inflation pressure and rode on the steel belts because I had to drive several more miles before I found a place to pull off to change it.
