Default Re: Trailer Tires

Sunlight kills the tire almost as fast as low pressure.
Kenny is "Dead-On" with his answer.

Marvin Rifchin from M& H Tire (RIP) told us to never leave tires exposed out in sunlight for long periods of time, it's rays attack the natural oil in the rubber, which has a direct effect on it's performance, the sidewall.
(thats Y Pro's cover they're tires in the lanes)

Look at tires after they've failed, if you see no real damage to the tread, it's usually due to the delamination of the sidewall, and belt failure!

We now cover the tires!
