I have just returned from a 3800 mi. trip, and had a tire failure in the first hour!
My TPS system saved us from a much greater problem by warning of the tire loosing air.
The TST monitor was money well spent. I would have kept driving without knowing the tire was going to come apart until it caused much more damage.
I had the failed tire replaced at a nearby shop with a same size but different brand, and continued our trip. It looked like the inside of the tire was separating and causing multiple small leaks. Which brings me to the question about the other tires that are on the trailer, but I can’t make out the date code on the tire, maybe one of you can tell me the age of the tire?
By the way I plan to replace all of them, and that brings another question about which tires to buy LT or ST 235/80R/16. 2018 303RLS 12,000 GVW. Thanks,
