How hot did it get today? - Kent - 06-30-2015
This is what I found when I happened to check out something on my boat a few minutes ago (this is my spare tire).

Yikes. The temp gauge in the car said 100-101. Don't know otherwise.

I had 104 on two different thermometers today here in West Jordan.

No, that WAS your spare tire.
My home weather station says it hit 100° at 5:12 this afternoon, and it's 99.6° right now.

At least it wasn't the tire that is on your trailer, just the spare. My guess is the tire is over ten years old. My digital temp gauge at my house yesterday read 105.

Want a Marine Corps epithet to cover that tire situation?

If it is suitable for boys and girls, sure why not.

Well, I had a huge chunk of rubber fall off of one of my trailer tires yesterday, on Highway 40, right next to Strawberry. Fortunately, it didn't blow and I was able to get to that huge parking lot they have for snowmobile parking and get it changed. My experience has been that when I have one boat tire fail that I better immediately replace the other tires. It is interesting how close together they fail.
When I took the spare in to be replaced I asked the guy who assisted me at the tire store what age that tire was. He looked at several places on the tire and said that he could typically spot the date immediately but couldn't find the date on that tire. So, I was hoping it was older than the remaining two tires on the trailer (which are dated 2009). So, now it is off to the tire shop to replace the remaining two tires.
We had the tire on a dual-wheel boat trailer disintegrate right in front of us on the way home as we drove down Parley's. So, I guess with the extra heat it was a bad day for boat tires.
BOAT = bring out another thousand.[frown]

Just checked the date on my "new" tire that I purchased last week and it was manufactured in 2010! That is only one year newer than my "old" tires that just failed. Going to have a chat with Tire Factory tomorrow. Will report back how they respond.

Thats not good, I would for sure ask for another tire, unless he sold it to you as a used tire. I remember a news article I read a few years back that some companies that sell tires they know are old because they can buy them cheap. Most customers never bother to check the tires and just trust they are getting new tires. When they have problems a year down the line and you take it back because it is under warranty they will gladly prorate your tire and you get a new one for a lot less that what you paid the first time and you come away thinking you are getting a good deal. Always a good idea to check the date code on those new tires.

I just called The Tire Factory and asked the manager what their policy was regarding how old of a tire that they would sell as a new tire. His response, "Nine years". I told him that I had just purchased a tire for my boat trailer that had a manufacturing date of 2010 and I told him that I was not happy about getting a tire that was that old. Without hesitation, he said bring it back and we will replace it with a newer tire.

Wow, that is BS, selling tires that old should be illegal but good to hear he is willing to take it back. That speaking well for him. Are you planning on buying all the tires you need for your boat from him or have you already bought them? I'm assuming this tire was your spare tire that you are taking back[:/].

Yes I plan on buying my tires from them. That shop has treated me well over several years. Yes, the tire I am taking back was the spare that I just had replaced. I had put it on my trailer, because one tire had been under inflated at some time, so I made the tire that had been under inflated my new spare.
