Don't let this happen to you and sideline your summer plans!
Loading up the family car or pulling a boat? Check your owner’s manual for load capacity and consider consulting a tire professional for advice. There are many variable when pulling a trailer. Trailers require a special tire and should not use a car tire or it can be very dangerous. Trailer tires need to be maintained and monitored with age. A tire that sits long periods of time especially in sun can age very quickly.
Adirondack Tire stocks trailer tires, truck tires and specialty tires in addition to passenger tires. Understanding how different speed ratings affect tire performance and how a stiffer trailer tire will perform differently than a car (passenger) tire can be the best can be best explained by a trained professional. Remember when tires heat up so does the pressure in the tires. If the tires are not properly maintained or the proper tires on not on your vehicle or trailer, you are more likely to run into tire blow-outs and possible accidents. Don’t let your summer be side-lined by tire problems. Enjoy your summer.

If you can't avoid the potholes prepare your tires by making sure they are properly inflated. Keeping tire pressure consistently at the manufacturer’s recommendation will help protect your vehicle’s wheels and tires from being damaged from pothole impacts.
