Is it me or is it time to ban recap tires from on-highway use?

Not just recaps.

 

My steer tires are Chinese made recaps.

(total troll comment)

 

And you know these are recaps how?

 

I’ve had virgin tires come apart the exact same way. Lost all the tread off a Mich. drive with 50k miles on it, deck screw in the Sidewall.

now all the trucks parked on the shoulder for no apparent reason, no triangles out, hood not up. Probably not broke down just stopped to grab something out of the bunk or take a leak. Those guys should get kicked in the nads. Really makes my job of hauling over width stuff harder and more dangerous for everyone on the road. Take it to a #### exit rap at least!

 

Maybe we should ban Chinese tires period………

 

Low air pressure causes that #### near every time. Virgin or cap. Honestly cap technology has come a long way. I would probably rather have caps on my casings that I know something about than lots of Chinese drives. Not to say there aren’t a few options at good cheaper drives.

 

"What's up it's your boy"
Thumbs down and closed.

I can complain about actually having the triangles out, but having no clue how to set them up so they're either still folded down or fallen over because drivers can't figure out that the weighted base needs to turn 90 degrees.

 

100% right. It’s why I check my tires with a guage almost every day now, and if so just thump them and anything is questionable I hit them with the guage. These guys rarely check their tire air pressure I’ve noticed
