Back in the old days, half the fun for me was towing the boat out to the River, thinking everyone was checking my boat out the way I always checked all the other boats out. Now it's just a pain in the ass draging the boat accross the desert.
I still act like a kid every time I see a cool boat being towed down the road though! :D

Last time I towed my boat back I got 4 flat tires on my trailer. Turns out I hate Carlisle tires. They were always inside so I figured they were great still. The dude in needles told me they are good for only three years in or out period.
It took 14 hours to get to Havasu and it was hot!!! Everytime I got a flat I was in a dead cell area!!!! I will put in on a flat bed before I tow again.

Towing sucks the most when you are in a hurry......or on a timeline.

I have Carlisle's on mine, looks like I will need to change them out prior to taking it on a long trip.
What did you replace yours with?

The biggest problem with blowing tire, especially when it's hot out, is impropper tire inflation. I tire down on air, even when you can't tell, causes excessive heat...... couple that with the extra hot summer days and it's recipe for a blow out. Most blow outs are caused by under inflated tires. Not saying this was your problem, but happens all the time. After 20 years of towing to the river, I've only had one tire blow out, and never had a wheel bearing let go. Preventative maintenance is the key!

I have heard the carlisle stories and trust me it was a concern... I only tow back to CA once a year, I believe the heat of the summer has lots to do with it too (as stated also). I do not like to let things sit too long either...:)
