Americas Tires wouldn't touch a small trailer tire that was over 5 years old. They recommend replacing a full size spare after 7 years.


About 6 months ago we bought a new dryer but they could not deliver it on monday my day off. My truck has a bed cover so I hooked up the horse trailer checked air on all tires and while airing up one the stem failed. All 4 tires were badly dry rotted p ut the spare on and picked up the dryer and delivered it to the house.
Made appt and had new tires installed the next morning. Thank god we had no emergency where we needed to move the horses , could have been ugly. Original tires and we bought that trailer in 2012.


Never take life to seriously, after all ,no one gets out of it alive.
