Well it happened today.
I had to take my father-in-law's John Deere mower to get it serviced about thirty miles south of here. Got there just fine but on the way home, one of my trailer tires blew and I didn't have a spare.
Luckily there was still enough left around the rim that I was able to limp it back here about three miles and get new tires. After looking at the other one I found dry rot on it so I replaced them both. All is good and I love my truck!

Outstanding Gerry....can't wait to see them! Congrats!
Yeah, I use this trailer all of the time and regularly check the tires. I just didn't check closely enough today....my bad. Oh well, I've got two new ones on there now and all is well.
Make sure you post those pick of your new wheels in here tomorrow buddy!
