[QUOTE="jethro, post: 455848, member: 12381"] So I should post an update, I think I may have ruined that tire due to a combination of things. One, I may have thrown a balance weight. I noticed when I drove with that tire last that there was a lot of vibration. When I installed the new tire I didn't notice much vibration at all. Also I drove a bit slower, it seems my trailer doesn't like 70mph but 65 is ok because there is vibration when I go 70. And also, I was not diligent keeping up with my tire pressures and they were 15 lbs too low all around. I'm sure that made things worse. Regardless, I changed the tire, made sure all the pressures were good and drove 65 for my trip to Lake Champlain last weekend and the tire looks good even with a few hundred miles of highway driving. Thank goodness the axle isn't bent because the replacement I priced out was $1300. [/QUOTE]
