Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

They will only recap tires that are 6 years old or newer . We run them on the sander/plow trucks no blowouts at 25mph and freezing cold outside...lol

Good point. I was speaking only of highway usage, not low speed / offroad cases.

It's not the retreads... They don't fail any more often than new tires.

You're definitely more knowledgeable about this than me, so I won't argue. But the number of peeled-off retreads I see laying all over the shoulders of the PA turnpike at least make me think they do fail more often than new tires. How do you explain these road snakes I pass every day on the highway?

I was pulling a little 2 horse down the freeway going about 65 mph in the dark when I ran over a recap. It flipped up behind the truck and the trailer hit it doubled over. That sent one side of the trailer into the air. No damage expect to the poor horses trust in the whole trailering idea. No damage done and they recovered

The gravel quarry trucking company I worked for back in the 70's would get tires recapped. I do know the tire crew went out way more to change tires that had thrown a cap than they would for any other tire. But then if the recap actually survived and wore out the tread they would cap it again so throwing a cap was going to happen at some point.

Just another computer generated lie. How many others here are that?

The plane in that video looks like some kind of inflatable rig.
Notice when the nose hits it crumples, then expands again.

Looks like a nerf plane

idk how you can complain about this unless you think anything about that video is remotely realistic

It's clearly a joke someone made on Ryanair. It's just a video done on Microsoft Flight Simulator game, an actually very good simulator to get started in aviation.

Not a dig on flight simulator - I have to admit to spending way too much time on the SGI flight simulator in 1989, but this is rather entertaining:

(I justify this post in that the guy in the post is clearly [virtually] hauling incorrectly as he doesn't have a license)

That guy though.

I'm sure he would love to fly somewhere only to find out the pilot in the plane he is in, has 500 hours of Sim experience. Must be a great pilot!
