Hopefully somebody might stop? I know I always had a full size jack and lug wrench whenever I towed. Never had to stop for myself.

Does the truck's lug wrench fit?

I keep the trailer lug wrench in the bote.

How old are those trailer tires?

It doesn't look like it did any damage, hope that's the case...

I've been towing trailers for over 40 years... I always put 32 psi in the tires with very few problems.

Last year I learned I should have been airing them up to 50 psi.

just a PSA.

I always like real world experience. I’ll try not to be so OCD about keeping them at 50

Not if the rating on the sidewall is less than 50psi. I run my trailer tires at the max psi posted on the sidewall.

Tire pressure was checked this morning before I left 48 psi.
Tire are original. So 6 years old
Thought about getting new ones this year .
Guess I’ll be buying 5 new ones

no damage. I felt a vibration, noise. Wife seen the tire coming off and said stop just as I was slowing down

6 years is beyond the life in the desert... I've been more than happy with Big-O in havasu...we tend to time our trips when we need tires to have them done there... I forget the other guys name but Bruce has always done right by us and is a friend of my moms.

Try buying a US made tire. You won't have a hard time finding them. .

Yeh trailer tires my experience on toyhauler is about 4 years start looking every stop at them real quick. You will catch one going out. Then replace 2 then the other 2 6 months later.

I do it this way because when one tire blows the rest will go very soon.

MY boat I use passenger car tires with good luck but only a 21 ft boat.
