    I had the same thought just not the solution . That he's gonna be stranded for a few hours on the slab rather than flirting with the cute waitress

    So i pickedup this trailer on sat and noticed the tires are garbage. I called my company and they just come on back we have 2 tired here for the trailer. Mind u iam in cheyenne wyoming and shop is in kansas. I took pic and sent it in they still said tire is good to go. Tires get like that all the time, he had tje nerve to tell me the tires are supposed to do this. I am new to the industry but i dont truly think u can legallydrive on trailer tires like this can u

    Am I not reading this right ? Looks like he did . I could be reading it wrong
