S20-925 Vrs Semi Truck

[bws...@cox.net]

It was a draw. Boat destroyed, Truck on its side, all humans intact. IV and Jay in wreck, Olivia and Anna were in California at a well site when this happened. Real culprit, those damn 13" 6 ply trailer tires. Once they start dishing on the tread, it means the whole tread is separating from the body and the entire tread is about ready to go. Solution, 14 inch or even 15 inch wheels, medium to light duty truck tires that are Radial design. We changed to these last year and were amazed how much cooler the tires and bearings ran as a result. They've been to the mid winters from Tulsa and back to the 09 nationals at Mission Bay, and then out to Huntington Lake. No signs of wear and you can always lay your hand on the tires and the bearings. Even in the middle of the Mohave Desert. We had to cut the fenders off and raise them to the very top of the rail and re weld them. But has it been worth it.
