I agree with gchuba above, checking air pressure, and the general condition of tires is much more important than the "age" of any tire, if that was what he intended to say with all that "mumbo jumbo" I read above.

I wish to assure you all that I have towed and/or been financially responsible for many more trailers than ALL of you combined with 16" or less diameter tires. I own a company that is responsible to ALL of the government regulatory agencies for the safe operation of over 100 times the number of small 1-ton capacity or less tow vehicles any one of you appear to own, and the trailers you could possibly be pulling. I also own and operate the larger capacity trailers in all 48 continental states. Literally, millions upon millions of miles combined across literally 1000's of trailers..

I do not mean to brag, but upon reviewing the post above, other "experts" in the post seem to be questioning my vast experience. I apologize to the rest of the Whaler community.
