Heavy tire controlled explosion test - videos

[Frank S]

I always kept good tires on all of my trucks. Never liked to run retreads even on the trailers unless they were my own 1st run carcasses even then the retreads were only ran on trailer that were not on long haul runs. THe bad thing is even brand new brand name tires can shuck a tread if the driver doesn't pay attention to the inflation pressures.
Flats are going to happen even when the best of care is taken. My bud will replace both steer tires if one picks up a nail We have it patched and saved for a trailer.
When he buys new tires always in pairs or 4 at a time he has them shaved to round and balanced and we run centrimatic automatic balancers all the way around on the tractor.
I often see people driving right beside the tandems or the steer tires of a truck and cn only think just how completely ignorant these people are or maybe they are just plain stupid.
Trucks pay ten's of thousands of dollars each year in road use taxes cars pay mere pennies by comparison so in my opinion cars do not have rights to use these roads they are afforded the privilege to share them.
Commercial delivery routes State highways US highways and the interstate systems were created for commerce not for pleasure Farm to Market roads were made to transport ag products to market all other roads were made as a means that people can get from their homes to work, school, or to the stores to buy the things they require to sustain life not to wander around aimlessly while finger farking on their phones.
