[QUOTE="jethro, post: 437347, member: 12381"] I replaced 3 sets of tires on my last tin boat trailer, I was almost positive I just wasn't being dilignet enough with the pressures. The 3rd set I replaced right before a big trip up north, a 200 mile ride. 50 miles down the road one of the brand new tires went boom. Other side was completely bald, cords showing- IN 50 MILES!! Turns out the axle was bent. You couldn't really see it until I had the boat off and was really looking at it. Got a new axle and the tires went thousands of miles before even looking like they were used. This boat was a 130lb jon boat with maybe 40lbs of seats installed, so it doesn't have to be a heavy boat to bend an axle. [/QUOTE]
