Re: Risk of using old (over 10 years) tires
On a recent trip out west to Mt Isa in our 33 and caravan, we stopped at a rest area for smoko, another couple came and talked to us, they were towing a modern caravan with a modern 4WD,
He had run over some debre on the road and something went under the 4Wd and caravan with a clunk clunk.he stopped to look but could not see any damage ,so drove off,later at 100klm it got a vibration,,so stopped and looked again,nothing ,so he drove off,a few miles down the road one of the caravan tyres exploded,the remains of the tyre carcas ended up inside the caravan after smashing its way through the floor and cuboard,wheel was inside a steel mudgaurd(fender), that was also destroyed.as well as the tins of beans that were all over the inside of the caravan,
