The medication is enough for the time beingā¦..Have you considered surgery?

My offside rear pair are now 400kg lighter after I removed my redundant Cummins Onan Diesel generator out of the back this weekend.I upped mine to 121 tyre index rating,1450kg, as I was near the limit and had one blowout on the back axle. And one can never tell for sure if you've loaded it exactly balanced on the axles.
Donāt forget to check the date of manufacture of the new tyres to be fitted. I have found a number of times that they can be quite old perhaps a year or two which knocks down the available life remaining.Iāve been looking at my tyres today. Vans seven year old still on original Michelin agilis camping tyres on the back I replaced front 2 a couple years ago with Michelin agilis camping tyres. The back still have loads of tread after 7 years nearly 40k miles but look a bit ropy on the side walls a few cracks so Iām going to replace them with like tyres on back not a cheap exercise. How is it you check the actual age of the tyre itself I know thereās a date somewhere but canāt remember how it works. Is it the 05/16 bit on side

Tyres don't have a precise life expectancy. It will vary with usage very widely.Donāt forget to check the date of manufacture of the new tyres to be fitted. I have found a number of times that they can be quite old perhaps a year or two which knocks down the available life remaining.
Exactly, far better spake than spaken.I love Scottish written as it is spake.
laden weight as well can be significant when a tyre is fitted. I had to replace my fitted trailer tyres after just 2 years as there were major cracks by some of the embossed markings where the weight had distorted the side significantly due to sitting in one place for extended periods (the 'floating' spare was still perfect).Tyres don't have a precise life expectancy.

Unfitted tyres will not deteriorate because they have no exposure to UV which is what causes the tyre rubber to age.
Seeing 'wot I wrote' again made me think I need to go out and put the trailer on axle stands to prevent a similar occurence again! The new tyres will be less prone as no large brand moulding, but still moves rarely.laden weight as well can be significant when a tyre is fitted.

This is a reason why it is so useful to move a stored motorhome on a regular basis to avoid tyre distortions and cracking from markings. tyre covers alone (whuch can be useful) are not enough.
Take the wheels of and store until you require to use again, also stops tea leaves.Seeing 'wot I wrote' again made me think I need to go out and put the trailer on axle stands to prevent a similar occurence again! The new tyres will be less prone as no large brand moulding, but still moves rarely.
you love to create work, don't you! It has been on the driveway for over 10 years and not gone walkies, so why should it do it now?Take the wheels of and store until you require to use again, also stops tea leaves.
Not exactly on a thoroughfare for dodgy characters is it lolyou love to create work, don't you! It has been on the driveway for over 10 years and not gone walkies, so why should it do it now?
Great genny, and I sure you'll be able to fill the space quicklyMy offside rear pair are now 400kg lighter after I removed my redundant Cummins Onan Diesel generator out of the back this weekend.
Now have a really large āgarageā space or potential dog kennel!
