Tires, heat, and load
Trailer tires fail from age and overload as often as from bald tread. Texas heat accelerates rubber aging in outdoor storage.
- Read the DOT week/year code
- Confirm load rating vs ready-to-tow weight
- Set pressure cold for loaded trips
- Carry a matching spare and tools that fit your lug pattern

Ramp and loading habits
Solo loading and busy ramps punish bad geometry and rushed prep. Center the hull, control the winch, and do light/chain checks in the lot — not while people wait behind you.
