Some months ago, i was getting gasoline at a local station, and a fellow pulled in towing a luggage trailer. I noticed his tires on it were squashing out-a sure sign of under inflation.
I asked him if he thought he ought to add some air to those tires, and he said they were fine, even though they had the classic under inflation bulges. He got his gas paid, and left. About five miles down the road, i saw him looking at one of the flats he had gotten. He had a heavy load on that trailer. I didn't stop.
Another time, i was entering the PA. Turnpike, when a guy honked his horn and blew past us and into the on-ramp! He was towing a luggage trailer, loaded with much stuff. His tires had the fatal bulge.
Five miles or so on the Pike, i saw a really hot small trailer tire lying against the center divider. HMMM! Then i saw the wheel on the center line-hot as hades! And, further on was the whole rig sitting on the berm. The owner was just getting out to see what was wrong.
I talked on the CB to a trucker. He said he blew his horn at the driver, as he passed the truck, on the spindle, but got the finger from him!
Did we stop to help? Not on your life!
Another time, in a camp-ground down near Somerset, a man towed in a luggage trailer, with it riding on the inside rim of the wheel! No tire left except some threads. He said it pulled strangely the last ten miles or so--figured he'd might as well get to the camping place before he stopped! He ended up buying a new axle to fix it.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
