I just got back from Ft. Polk....the roads in Leesville SUCK!!! Takes forever to get through Shreeport. I blew one trailer tire at Sikeston, MO on the way down. I had a load of veggie oil on for delivery in Paragould, AR. HOT along I-55!!. Made it the rest of the way to Ft. Polk, got my 8 6.2L engines and headed home. Blew another tire 60 miles south of St. Louis..11pm. Bought 2 tires and a rim next morning in Perryville. Put the one on the trailer..and luckily, I spotted a goose egg forming on the other tire. 3 new trailer tires on that trip. Trailer is only 2 1/2 years old...tires were in great shape....I thought. I am thinking the heat had something to do with it. There were retreads ...and tire parts all up and down the highway.
Got my engines home...but doubt if I do it again. The only reason this paid off was because of the veggie oil I sold. Is a looong way down there.
