Flat Tire On The Road
We just had a flat tire on our truck, right rear inside dual (naturally had to be). We had gotten to our Campground, unhitched and set up. Was leaving CG to visit Wife's parents for Mothers Day and our Son. Noticed RR tire was reporting 1 PSI. Got to work removing the tire, had to kick rear tires with both feet to brake rims loose - stuck. Big screw in inside tire.
I always carry a tire plugging kit that has a reamer, multiple plugs and insert tool and our Viair compressor. Removed, plugged, installed, aired up and on our way again. Took a little while for the Viair compressor to air up the tire to 65 psi but was fine. You never know when you may have to fix a punctured tire on the road, so have the tools to get you going again. Get your rig to a safe place to work on the tire. We were in the CG.
You can always go to a tire shop later to have it checked but having the tools on hand can get you going again.Steve & Tami Cass - Escapee's, FMCA Members, Texas Fulltimers Since July 2020
