    Best tire pressure gauge? (idiot proof, too)

    All of this recent discussion about tire pressure as related to trailer sway has got me thinking about how I really need to be on top of my trailer's tire pressure. The problem is my tire pressure gauge is either not very good or, possibly more likely, not idiot proof (the idiot being me). I...

    What to do about tire valve extenders?

    I'm totally vexed with the valve stem extenders that I purchased to make it easier to manage my tire pressures. The durned extenders seem prone to leaks and are of questionable quality. I'll confess up front that I bought the "econo" valve extender kit off Amazon. Chinese junk, likely, but...

    Tire sensors 2022 Chevy Silverado

    Ordered a 2022 Silverado. Chevy offered extra tire monitors for trailer tires for what seemed to be a cheap price. $50 for 4. They mount on the stem base on the inside of the wheel. Afterward I got to wondering if they report tire temperature also? Anyone with a 2022 silverado? If so, do the...

    Anyone else running Hankook Vantra tires?

    Anybody else besides me running Hankook Vantra tires,? I've only had a chance to use them once so far but I'm eased with them so far. I couldn't find Goodyear Endurance but did find these, and since the reviews were favorable to the Enduranxe tires, I went with them. I was petrified of the...

    Tire/Axle advice

    Tire/Axle advice. Last February after several long trips putting 10,000 miles on a new set of Goodyear Endurance tires I was in Albuquerque and found the inside of my driver side front axle was worn extremely worn. I did not want to drive home on this tire so I put a new one on it. When I was...

    tire plug/patch towing safety

    Hi, My rear tire was punctured by a nail in the center of the tire. It will receive a plug and a patch for the fix. I know that this type of combo repair is safe for driving, but when it comes to a tow vehicle is it safe? The tires are LT265/60R20 load E. Again, the tire will be getting...

    M2 air hose for tires supplied?

    Does the Force or DX3 come new with an air hose and fitting to fill the tires? For some reason I thought I saw one early on but nowhere to be found now. Maybe I imagined it. I know where the quick disconnect port is on the coach, just don't know if I need to buy a hose, or keep looking.
